1. Listen First (James 1:19)

People rarely care what we know until they know that we care.

Never treat a person like an argument to win. Often, an intellectual question ("How could God allow suffering?") has a personal hurt hiding right behind it.

Try saying: "That's a really important question. Can you tell me more about how you came to think about that?"

2. Ask Helpful Questions

Jesus asked over 300 questions in the Gospels!

Questions take the pressure off you and invite the other person to think carefully about their own assumptions.

The Two Classics:
1. "What do you mean by that?"
2. "How did you come to that conclusion?"

3. Plant a Pebble, Not a Boulder

You don't have to answer everything in one sitting.

And if someone asks a question you don't know the answer to? Smile and say the four most freeing words in apologetics: "I don't know—let's look into it together!" Then use this guide or Anchored to explore the answer!
