- My father, Josh McDowell, has been speaking, writing, and debating for over 60 years. He is truly a pioneer in the modern apologetics movement, youth ministry, evangelism, and much more. I invited him back onto the Think Biblically podcast to ask him to tackle some of my questions on the how to effectively reach people for Christ in today's culture and issues facing the church.

Dear Sean, Josh and Scott,
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Such important topics were covered. The conversation was depthful and insightful. I appreciate you all as a resource for sound apologetics and deeper thinking in my Christian walk. May God continue to bless you and use you for His glory!🙏😊 Pr. 2:6
Thank you!
Sean, your blog is a godly and textbook example for talking and "debating" challenging questions - always with charity for everyone involved. I also love the variety of topics...from LGBT proponents to Biblical archaeology. Thank you so very much for the thought and work you put into the show. I try to catch all of them. Hope all of your audience members will subscribe.
Thanks, that’s the goal!
Beautiful blessings! Thank you so much!
Of course I'm glad you enjoyed!
Such a blessing, both of you! Praise The Lord!
Thx!
Love this man. He wrote the forward to my first book called, "Pursuing the Best." When I asked him how to be a great youth pastor he said, "Love your wife." I've done it for 30 years!
This is a glorious testimony! ⭐ Thank you.
Sound wisdom!
Amen!!!
He uses a method that greg koukl wrote about in his book tactics. Many open air preachers or evangelists are now taught to use this technique
It's so cute how Sean and his dad wear the same kind of sneakers!
I was thinking the same thing! My dad and brother do that too.
Where can i find Josh McDowells debates
There’s one on TH-cam with Deedat
@@SeanMcDowell I have watched that. But what about the 200 debates
Sean, your Dad has really helped me. Josh if you're reading this, I watched your testimony again a few months ago, and your series on how to reconcile relationships you did ages ago. You have gone through so much pain and I'm so sorry for that. But praise God what man ment for evil God has used for good. You and God must have done so much work on yourself it's an inspiration to me.
And I know Sean is a scholar and minister in his own right, but I see your kindness and love in him and it gives me hope for my kids.
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
YEEEES! LEGENDARYYYY 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
I LOVE JOSH! He is like a big kid! Lol
That is a great way to describe him!
Hi Josh I want to let you know what happened from when I wrote to you many years ago about a dream I had when I was holding up one of your books and was spruking about it.
You sent me a lot of your material. I spent 2 years in shopping centres around the Gold Coast and Brisbane Australia. Then started working with the converts and continued with outreaches for 20 years, working also with relationship seminars, with my late husband. We worked with over 400 couples, most new converts.
I designed a competency based Bible College and we raised up leaders who are now serving God in different churches across the Gold Coast.
Also business leaders on the coast. Kenn and I worked in pioneering a Christian radio station and also a secular one.
We always handed over works we pioneered when moving on.
I wanted to say Thank you for giving me that start and believing the dream. It was a God dream.
I also took one of your books into a prison visit. The man I gave it to became saved and then became a preacher of the gospel as well.
So thank You sir for sowing into Australia.
Am I the only one so happy to find out This father son McDowell?? ❤ love their relationship ❤
LOVE these two!
Loved the discussion with Josh and the godly wisdom!
Would you ever have your dad on your TH-cam channel for a live Q and A session? I know I would love to ask him questions.
Good suggestion, thanks!
This one knocked it out of the ballpark. Thanks to everyone!
I honestly didn’t know Josh McDowell is your dad 😂
That’s cool. Yes he is!
Love listening to your dialogue. Great job guys!
People without objective truth are unhappy and anxious. I am hoping that due to the amount of information we have now, we will get past our inability to have healthy debate and come back to the evidence for God and objective truth.
How can suffering people who have been diagnosed with an illness which will be terminal have access to medicine and good care by a private healthcare they can’t afford to pay for?
What about pregnancies due to incest or rape?
👍
Sean, I remember hearing your dad speak at a Campus Crusade event at San Diego State. He told us that he had recently met a girl that he wanted to marry. He was telling us about your mom. Hard to believe it was that long ago.
Wow, Rob, that was probably early 70s or so!
I took a class Josh taught on how to study the Bible (using John's gospel) - at Arrowhead Springs in the early 1970s. His suggestions are as fresh in my Bible study now as they were then. Thank you, Josh, for remaining faithful to the Gospel - your wife - and your thousands of students!
Thx for your story!
Josh McDowell’s speaking has had a huge impact on my life. He is my hero. Brought tears to my eyes when he shared about his siblings.
Thanks Jeannie. He’s my hero too!
❤️
When we talk about "the church", are we talking about the many American churches or Christ's universal world-wide church where there are many differences in other countries?
objective vs. subjective sounds dangerous
Those dont look like shoes two old men would wear bahaha.
I left out Josh’s praise of intolerance.
Dear Mr. Josh McDowell, At the beginning of this interview, you said that your #1 event in your life was the Why Wait? campaign and your 2nd most important event was when you married your wife. Yet further along in the interview, you said that your marriage comes before all other ministry because your marriage is your first ministry. How do you reconcile these two seemingly contradictory ideas in your life?
His response at the beginning about Why Wait and then his marriage was not in order of importance. I asked him about ministry highlights, so he started there.
Sean, such love for your mom was from the beginning when they met on UT Austin campus. I was in your Mom’s bible study when she told us about being ask out by Josh! Dottie was so dear to us, we knew it was special. Later I worked at Arrowhead Springs for Dr Bright; and saw them during summer staff training when years later I rejoined staff married to AIA basketball player. They are amazing saints whom I admire as much as anyone I have ever met. I see a lot of Dottie in your great looks Sean, and much wisdom from your dear father. You should have seen him speaking on the steps of the TOWER in Austin with convincing evidence that demands a verdict! It has unforgettable. Blessings to all, especially to Dottie!

Thank you for sharing. That’s amazing!
Wow Sean, the way your dad talked about your mom just put tears in my eyes. So genuine and beautiful. God has certainly blessed you with great parents!
Thanks Rachel. He’s my hero!
