The problem with apologetics and why it has not had stickiness, to use a marketing term, in a lot of minority communities has been that its been conversational but not incarnational. If we restrict truth to an academic exercise instead of seeing it lived, dwelling among us in a visible way, then truth isnt fully expressed. You also have to reckon with the rise of the apathist, the person who is simply uninterested in God. How do we awaken the heart to even dig into the question of God? It demands a balanced approach between orthodoxy and orthopraxis. Right practice becomes just as important as right doctrine, particularly in urban settings. For example, when Im speaking on what the Bible says about manhood and womanhood, the Christian definition of family and its purpose, its just as important that I live that out with my wife as it is that I preach it accurately. You just have to do both. christianitytoday/ct/2013/november/urban-apologetics-christopher-brooks-detroit.html?paging=off
