Chapter 1 dismantles the myth that apologetics belongs only in seminaries — and makes the case that the kitchen table may be its most important classroom.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The authors argue that apologetics has been wrongly associated with cold intellectual debate, when in fact it is simply 'giving a reason for the hope within us.' How has that narrow association affected your own engagement (or non-engagement) with apologetics up to this point?
2.Ferrer introduces the idea that children are natural philosophers — they ask the hardest questions precisely because they haven't yet learned to stop asking them. When was the last time one of your children (or a child in your life) asked a question that stumped you? How did you respond?
3.The chapter emphasizes that an unanswered question in a child's mind doesn't stay empty — it gets filled by the culture. What 'fillers' does the culture offer most aggressively to the unanswered questions your children carry?
