Why It’s Important For Every Christian to Select a Good “Jury” (Video)
In this video from a message delivered at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, J. Warner Wallace describes the importance of “jury selection” for Christians who want to effectively share Christianity with the people in their lives. How can principles of jury selection help believers better communicate the Christian worldview? Can good “jury selection” help us to identify which approach we should take with people? All believers must think more carefully about the people they are trying to reach as described in the book, Forensic Faith: A Homicide Detective Makes the Case for a More Reasonable, Evidential Christian Faith.
Pick Your Jury Carefully Before Making A Case
If you want to be an effective Christian Case Maker, get prepared, examine the evidence, and do your homework. But don’t forget the most important part: select your jury carefully.
