Welcome to Adherent Apologetics, where I talk with leading thinkers about Christianity. If Christianity is true, we shouldn't be afraid to hear what anyone else has to say, so I don't just talk to Christians, but I also talk with Muslims, Jews, atheists, and about anyone else who is willing to talk to me! Join me in learning about Christianity and other worldviews.
