Some Practical Advice for Teaching
When you're teaching, whether it's apologetics or any other topic, it's not just the information but also the presentation that counts. You may be able to dump theological knowledge on your audience, but that doesn't mean it will stick and have the impact you're hoping for, so you've got to work on your presentation skills too. This is especially important with youth audiences. When I'm asked for advice on teaching youth, here are some of my suggestions:

There are lectures, reading, studying, tests, and more, and that's before we ever go on the trip.
