Zangmeister has produced amazing short animated video summaries of the arguments popularised by Christian Philosopher - Dr William Lane Craig, Founder of Reasonable Faith.
The links below will take you to a blog post to watch each video, read a summary of the arguments and some key questions well worth asking people if they have objections. These questions should serve to open up conversation.
The Zangmeister Reasonable Faith videos specifically relate to the EVIDENCE for Christianity, but it's worth remembering that this is not the only way to approach the question of God's existence or the question of whether we should trust and follow Jesus. Thinking is good, but try praying too. If God wants to help you and your friends to know him, talking to him about that would be a good idea!
