Holistic discipleship: the false dichotomy between relationships and truth must be rejected

The State of Youth Today and How to Disciple Them (Dr. Sean McDowell) 00:06:44 – 00:08:48

McDowell and Mike discuss the thesis of the book

McDowell identifies two worlds he inhabits: the apologetics world (focused on truth) and the Christian educators/youth ministers world (focused on relationships). He argues this is a false either/or. The book frames every chapter around love: love understands, love connects, love relates, love equips, love ignites. The goal is to help young people know what is truth, why truth matters, and how to live it out — through the medium of relationships. Mike affirms: apologetics has no real function if it is not about people; without truth undergirding relationships there is nothing to hold when challenges come.
