It's Elementary - Episode 17 - "The Art and Science of Christian Persuasion" with Dr. Laurynas Jacevičius
from It’s Elementary - An Asbury Theological Seminary Podcast · host Asbury Theological Seminary
In this fascinating episode, Dr. David Watson and Dr. Jessica LaGrone welcome Dr. Laurynas Jacevičius, Asbury Seminary Visiting Scholar from Lithuania, for a rich and wide-ranging conversation about apologetics, belief formation, and the unique challenges of sharing the gospel in a secular culture. Dr. Jacevičius shares how missionaries, Scripture, and persistent discipleship led him to faith at age 26 and into full-time ministry and academic work in apologetics. Drawing from his research and experience in the Baltic region, he describes apologetics as “the art and science of Christian persuasion”—a blend of thoughtful reasoning, relational engagement, and Spirit-led attentiveness. Dr. Jacevičius also shares about his ministry, Apologetika.lt, his work producing Lithuanian-language apologetics content, and how listeners can pray for and support gospel work across the Baltic region.
