Mailbag Friday: Why Did Apologetics Anger Penn Jillette? + Is Topical Preaching Wrong? + Raising Godly Children

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Segment 1

• My mother-in-law is an Anglican deaconess who preaches and is becoming increasingly liberal. Are we obligated to keep confronting her about our disagreements, or should we let it go and pray for her? — Amanda

Segment 2

• We want to raise our two young boys to be godly men. How do we work on their hearts instead of just modifying their behavior, and what should we use for Bible study at their age? — Sam

• Is there a place for topical preaching, or should preaching always be expository? Is listening to topical sermons for targeted growth wrong? — Alex

Segment 3

• What is presuppositional apologetics, and why can using it in evangelism make people angry? — Shantai

Segment 4

• What can Penn Jillette’s reaction teach us about how we use presuppositional apologetics in evangelism?

• How should we deal with anti-Semitic thinking that seems to be appearing in Christian circles, especially when it enters the local church? — Anonymous
