“Practical Apologetics” at White Sulphur Springs

I just finished a wonderful week at White Sulphur Springs Conference and Retreat Center — a beautiful Christian retreat in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania.  Paul Robyn and his staff run a top-shelf operation, and they asked me to come speak to summer “retreaters” on the topic of “Practical Apologetics” — the real boots-on-the-ground, tactical approach to sharing and defending your faith.  We went through four or five presentations on that topic, then added a few on textual criticism, creation/evolution and old Earth/young Earth, and several sessions of dedicated Q&A.  As promised, below are the slides and audio from the entire week.  Huge thanks to Josh Crabtree for his outstanding A/V support!
