She fully understands that there is confusing and misleading information about Christianity and Jesus in our societies today and she always welcomes every invitation that allows her to communicate the true message of the Bible. 

In today’s episode, Alycia shares her journey to a strong faith in Jesus Christ as well as some misconceptions about Christianity that she has encountered as an apologist. She shares a few points about major religions and discusses what sets Christianity apart from them. She also shares a story of how becoming a Christian can cost someone everything.

Bible Verses:

1 John 2:1-2
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.  He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
