But it\u2019s often a topic that gives any Christian anxiety. What if I don\u2019t know how to articulate what I believe? What if someone asks me a difficult question I don\u2019t know how to answer? What if I\u2019m a terrible Christian, fail in my defense, get laughed at, and the name of Christ is disrespected because I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about? Take a deep breath\u2026 Lisa Fields is the CEO and founder of Jude 3 Project, a leading apologetics organization dedicated to equipping the Black community with the tools to know what they believe and why they believe it.
