How to Create Strong Foundations: Apologetics for Kids

“But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15

We hear a lot about the importance of teaching our kids apologetics. But do you ever wonder how? Perhaps you wonder what the word even means! The word apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia, which means “reasoned defense.” Apologetics is simply the defense of the Christian faith. As 1 Peter puts it, apologetics is having an answer for anyone who asks about the hope we have within us. If our kids are going to be ready to share that truth with others, they need to first know the truth for themselves! We’ve put together a list of our most popular posts on apologetics for kids to help you get started.
