Where Ya From? is a new podcast from the Voices Collection from Our Daily Bread Ministries. Hosted by Rasool Berry, each episode of the series dives into the “origin” of each guest. Our hometowns, cultures, and family-experiences shape us. Different neighborhoods, perceived race and other influences, allow each of us to grow up in our own “worlds.” Each episode starts with a guest's origin story, to better understand how they became who they are today.

The practice of offering reasons for the Christian faith, or apologetics, strikes many unbelievers today as offensive, an attempt to proselytize, while Christians themselves often view apologetics as unsophisticated or even faith-undermining. After all, shouldn't a believer focus on presenting the gospel rather than attempting to argue people to belief?

In Telling a Better Story, author Joshua Chatraw presents a new and better way to do apologetics, an inside-out approach that is attuned to our late-modern moment and respectful of unbelievers, all the while remaining focused on Jesus. With chapters on cultural understanding, dealing with the difficult issues, and presenting Jesus in a holistic, contextual manner, Telling a Better Story offers a roadmap to effective apologetics both for experienced apologists and those new to sharing their faith with others.
