From debating Hebrew Israelites and Muslims to raising kids in a spiritual war, Preston breaks down why **winning arguments isn’t the same as winning souls** — and how empathy, truth, and obedience work together in evangelism. They dive deep into: - The difference between *apologetics* and *argument* - How to spot the line between boldness and pride - Reaching people who’ve been hurt by religion - What Christians get wrong about empathy - The truth about Hebrew Israelites, Islam, and false religions - Breaking generational curses and fatherhood in a dark world - The controversy around Charlie Kirk, race, and idolatry in the church If you’ve ever wondered how to stand firm in truth while still leading with love — this episode will challenge and encourage you to do both.
