Christian apologist Lee Strobel, author of more than 20 books, including The Case for Christ, spoke recently at Dallas Baptist University. He encouraged students to recognize Christians have no need to be fearful of asking or receiving challenging faith questions. “I cannot think of any instance where Jesus slammed the door in the face of someone with a question,” Strobel said. A curious and thoughtful mind helps prepare Christians for life’s questions and engage in gospel conversations to make a persuasive case for Christianity, he said.
