Your Own Personal Jesus
For the final three apologetic questions answers, the Fideist point to the fact that one has your own personal Jesus.

Fideist Faith Is Experience
The final three parts of the apologetic approach of rational Fideists. Here we see for Fideist faith is experience and they don't look fondly at "the Science(TM)" and even less at history as a set of facts. They aren't anti-science or anti-history, they just believe in proper avenues and spheres not mixing over into the others.

Fideist Issues With Theology & Philosophy
Discussing now the meta-apologetics of Fidesim we focus on three areas of truth, theology, and philosophy. We see that Fideists do engage in apologetics but have big issues with theology and philosophy in the way they are used in the other methods of apologetics. While you might not agree with Fideism outright, or at all, there are some valid arguments to consider in their method.
