The other day, me and this Christian brother of mine decided to start role playing through this list I found on-line. We walk around the lake on a break at work (about 15 min) and I pull up these questions and objections on my phone. We take turns handing the phone back and forth to each other, role-playing a skeptic in challenging the other person with one of the questions or objections below. It is great practice for when we get that chance to really talk to someone!
