#STRaskStand to Reason

Questions about how to know if we’re a “gardener” or a “harvester,” how to engage an apathetic person who says “I don’t know” to everything, and whether Christians are making an unfalsifiable claim and fruitlessly discussing something that can’t be proven or disproven.

* How do I know if I’m a “gardener” or a “harvester”?

* How do you engage an apathetic person who says “I don’t know” to everything?
