The 3 Hidden Reasons People Reject Christianity (It’s Not Just Evidence)

About this sermon

Why do people reject Christianity—even when the evidence is strong? 🤔 In this episode, J. Warner Wallace explains the three hidden reasons people often shun a truth claim: rational resistance, emotional resistance, and volitional resistance. The real objection is not always, “I don’t find the evidence convincing.” Sometimes past hurts, negative experiences, worldview assumptions, or an unwillingness to follow the truth wherever it leads are shaping the response. You’ll learn how to listen beneath the surface of an objection, ask better questions, and share your faith with patience rather than treating every conversation like an argument to win. 🗣️❤️ In this video: • Why “I don’t believe the evidence” may not be the real issue • The three reasons people reject Christianity: rational, emotional, and volitional • The revealing question to ask: “If Christianity were true, would you follow it?” • Why understanding someone’s resistance matters before offering more evidence • How small, patient conversations can make a lasting difference over time ⚾ Evidence matters—but understanding the person in front of you matters too. Keep making the case, keep loving people well, and trust God with the results. ✝️ 👉 Get my book, Cold-Case Christianity: https://amzn.to/42XtJhu 👉 Visit Cold Case Christianity for free articles, videos, and apologetics resources: https://coldcasechristianity.comcoldcasechristianity 👍 If this video helped you, please LIKE it. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications for more videos about Christian apologetics, evidence, faith, and reason. 💬 Share this with someone who is asking hard questions about Christianity.
