The Faithful Father
Jun 21, 2026 • Josh Antley
Main Idea: Paul teaches us how to engage with curiosity, build bridges, and share with respect when defending the faith, as seen in his interaction on Mars Hill.
Scripture: Acts 17:22-31 - Paul addresses the Athenians with wisdom and respect, connecting the gospel to their culture.
Key Takeaways:
• Start with Curiosity: Value honest questions and engage with openness.
• Build Bridges: Connect the gospel to the listener's world to make it relatable.
• Share with Respect: Speak truth graciously, drawing people in rather than pushing them away.
Application: When defending our faith, we should listen first, meet people where they are, and communicate with grace, just as Paul did on Mars Hill.
