Show Notes

How effective are arguments? It’s a question often raised towards the effectiveness of apologetics. But the question also touches upon the much important domain of enquiry: how do I know for sure God exists? Enter the self-authenticating witness of the Holy Spirit. In this one-off episode the SAFT Podcast duo makes a short, fun and casual return to look at apologetics arguments, how evangelism involves arguments, the role of personal arguments, and also the self-authenticating witness of the Holy Spirit. We also discuss about all the hype revolving around Clubhouse. Join us for a dope conversation!
