When I first got started in apologetics, I thought it was basically about two things: a) proving God exists, and b) providing evidence to prove the truth claims of the Bible. It seemed what every big-name apologist had done before me, and it seemed to be an entirely reasonable, rational, and sensible approach...so for years, that's the path I followed. I never stopped to ask myself, "But is it biblical?" In this presentation, using as many of God's words and as few of mine as possible, I pass on what God taught me from His Word about what apologetics really is, and how He showed me, "Dan, apologetics is not what you think."

When 1 Peter 3:15 is brought up to serve as a justification for modern-day apologetics, the full context in which that verse appears is typically ignored completely. When we defenestrate the popular notion of this verse's meaning and let God's Word speak for itself, we come up with quite a different meaning.
