Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle Unpack Apologetics on College Campuses

View descriptionShare
 

Cliffe Knechtle has been standing on college campuses answering skeptics for 46 years. His son Stuart joined him, bringing a background in psychology and mental health that turns hard arguments into something people can actually feel healed by. Together they have written Demolishing Doubt, a book that walks readers from evidence for God's existence to the reliability of the Gospel accounts to what it means to take a genuine step of biblical faith — and it was built for exactly the kind of person who shows up on a college quad with a list of reasons not to believe.

Apologetics, the emotional fragility of Gen Z, and a revival that is spreading from campuses into the local church: Cliffe and Stuart walk through their go-to arguments for the existence of God and the resurrection of Christ, why answering "I don't know" has become one of the most powerful things a Christian can say to a skeptic, and why they believe the questions young people are asking now are more urgent and more honest than ever before. Stuart also shares the story of a top Division I athlete who broke down in tears at a dinner table, saying he was jealous that Stuart had objective value and meaning in his life — and why that moment captures exactly what is driving the spiritual hunger they are witnessing everywhere they go.

  • Why the best answer a Christian apologist can give is sometimes "I don't know," and why skeptics love it
  • Stuart's background in psychology and how he pairs counseling instincts with Cliffe's hard arguments to reach the whole person
  • What the historical explosion of Jewish converts to Christianity reveals about the reality of the resurrection
  • Why Cliffe and Stuart believe secularism is not dying but dead, and what is rushing in to fill the vacuum
