Episode 111: How Has God Revealed Himself?

Apologetics and theology go hand in hand. But before we can defend the faith, we have to know what we believe. In this podcast listeners will make a look at an important aspect of theology: the revelation of God.

Listeners will understand what revelation is, what it isn’t, how God reveals Himself in nature and through His word, and what He has communicated. Parents are then offered discussion topics and relevant resources to nurture discussions on the revelation of God.
