Apologetics Without Intimidation
Understanding apologetics can feel overwhelming at first—but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I’m joined by David Libby, author of Apologize Without Apologizing, for a thoughtful and surprisingly accessible conversation about defending the Christian faith with clarity and confidence.
David, a self-described layman who works as a logger, breaks down apologetics in a way that removes intimidation and replaces it with understanding. Rather than relying solely on evidential arguments, he introduces listeners to transcendental reasoning—showing how the very ideas of truth, morality, and logic require the existence of a personal, sovereign God. This episode challenges the assumption that Christianity is merely one worldview among many and instead presents it as the only framework that consistently supports knowledge, ethics, and meaning.
We also explore how relativism and nihilism collapse under their own weight, why absolute truth is unavoidable, and how these ideas show up in modern culture and everyday conversations. Through practical examples, David demonstrates that apologetics isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about exposing inconsistencies and pointing people toward truth with wisdom and humility.
🎧 Listen to the episode to discover why Christianity makes sense intellectually—and how everyday believers can confidently engage tough questions without needing formal theological training.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
