Stand to Reason is a Christian ministry that has, for over 16 years, focussed on training Christians to be “ambassadors” for Christ in light of 2 Corinthians 5:20, by helping them to develop the qualities of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Character.
Stand to Reason's Greg Koukl joins me this month to discuss his new book Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions, which focuses on the second quality: Wisdom. We discuss how to converse with non-Christians in a way that gets them thinking about Christianity without being argumentative, confrontational, or offensive. The majority of our conversation is about what Greg calls “The Columbo tactic.”
Tactics is widely available (I've seen it at Barnes & Noble), so you should be able to get it just about anywhere, but if you like you can get it at Amazon (aff. link).
Other resources Greg mentioned at the end of the interview include: his other book, Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air; his DVD course with Scott Klusendorf called Making Abortion Unthinkable; and Common Ground. You can also find out how to listen to his radio show, or get the podcast.

Wow, what a great epsiode. Koukl is amazingly good. This one makes me want to go out and preach the gospel.
He explained that we need to be careful that our pointed questions don’t come off sounding accusatory or snide. This is really hard for me. I genuinely want to be serious yet friendly, but I can sound sharp. Lord, help me!
