How to Respond When Defending the Gospel Makes You a Target

About this sermon

I do my best to be humble, fair, and gentle when I share the gospel and defend the faith, but I’m still frequently accused of being prideful and legalistic, which is painful because I actually care very much about people’s souls. How do you cope with this when you have similar experiences? Greg Koukl and Amy Hall urge believers to examine themselves honestly without allowing false accusations of arrogance or legalism to derail discussion. Such charges frequently function as ad hominem attacks rather than serious engagement with an issue. This podcast first aired in September 2025.
