mid-week apologetics booster (5-30-2024)

Good morning friends, Quote of the week: 2/3 of Americans “identify” as Christian but only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview. What’s worse than that, is that only 21% of evangelical Protestants hold a biblical worldview. Furthermore, when you look at 18 to 29 year olds the number who possess a biblical worldview goes down to 2% in the general population. – Paraphrased from Natasha Crain’s new book Faithfully Different Now, here are your weekly links:
