How to Talk to a Skeptic

Don Johnson, creator of the movie Convinced, gives powerful insights for sharing God’s love with relatives, co-workers, and friends. With humor and patience, Don demonstrates how evangelization starts with listening.

Questions Covered:

• My husband is Protestant and I am Catholic. He is skeptic about Jesus being Mary’s only child because the bible says he was her “first born son.” What should I tell him?
• If God made everything, who created God?
• My friend is an atheist and anarchist. He does not see the importance of faith or morality. He thinks anything good you could get from religion can be better found in proper governance. How do I explain the importance of the religious morality?  
• I have a friend who left Catholicism to become Jewish. How do I explain that Catholicism is the true faith?
• When skeptics says, “God does not exist,” how do I explain from a scientific perspective that string theory and quantum mechanics prove that God exists?
• My fiancé is not a Catholic. He is more of an agnostic. How do I witness to him and explain that religion is not a manmade thing?
