About this sermon
When a high school podcaster asks why you still make Christian content after two decades, you either dodge the question—or you tell the truth. 🎙🔥 In this candid conversation, we talk about calling, criticism, and why metrics can’t be the thing that keeps you going. We unpack: • Why I’m comfortable living without a “silver bullet” for skeptics, and why God may have designed it that way 🧠 • How overwhelming evidence would cheapen real love and genuine trust • What years in cold case work taught me about “working despite the noise” and not chasing every criticism • Why I don’t track views, downloads, or “stats,” and what actually gets me out of bed to create content about Jesus every day 📈❌ • How Gen Z questions about motives, money, and “grifters” can actually refine our ministries rather than ruin them If you’ve ever wondered whether your efforts for Christ matter when nobody seems to notice—or whether you should quit because the numbers aren’t “big enough”—this video is for you. 💬❤️ 📚 Get my book: Cold Case Christianity Learn how a homicide detective examines the claims of the Gospels and makes the case for Christianity using real investigative tools: https://amzn.to/42XtJhu 🌐 More resources at Cold Case Christianity Articles, videos, and tools to help you think clearly and share the truth persuasively: https://coldcasechristianity.com 🎧 Check out the teen host’s channel: Apologetics Talk Shorts Short form, Gen Z driven apologetics content: https://www.youtube.com/@CalebMcManusApologetics 👍 If this conversation encourages you to stay faithful in your own calling, please LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on the notification bell so you don’t miss future content. 💬 Comment below: What keeps you going when the results don’t look impressive?
