"My youth leader couldn't answer my questions, so maybe Christianity doesn't have real answers."

How it sounds in your head: I asked about dinosaurs and evolution and my youth leader said 'just have faith.' If the people who teach this stuff don't even know, maybe it's not true. I need better answers than that.

Proverbs 18:15

"The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge."

-- Proverbs 18:15
Enemy whispers: No answer means no truth. BUT IT IS WRITTEN: Proverbs 18:15 - 'The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.' One person not knowing doesn't mean the answer doesn't exist! IT IS WRITTEN in Daniel 12:4 that knowledge will increase. There are brilliant Christian scientists, apologists, and scholars who HAVE answered your questions—you just haven't met them yet!
Quick Truth: LIE: No human answer means no truth. TRUTH: Keep seeking—God has people with answers you haven't met yet! (Proverbs 18:15)

Enemy using limited human knowledge to discredit infinite divine truth, when one person's ignorance doesn't disprove God.

Why this feels true:

An adult Christian couldn't answer him, confirming Christianity doesn't have good responses to science. If it were true, shouldn't leaders have answers?

Acts 18:24-28
Apollos

Apollos was eloquent and mighty in Scriptures but only knew John's baptism, not the full gospel. Priscilla and Aquila took him aside and explained the way MORE ACCURATELY, and then he became even more powerful in ministry—incomplete knowledge doesn't mean false foundation!

Speak this out loud

I REFUSE the lie that one person's lack of answers disproves Christianity! IT IS WRITTEN that the prudent ACQUIRE knowledge—I'm called to seek, and God has people with answers I haven't met yet. My youth leader not knowing doesn't mean the answer doesn't exist! IT IS WRITTEN that knowledge increases and there are brilliant believers who've addressed every question I have. Apollos didn't have full knowledge at first but his foundation was TRUE! I am Abraham's seed, blessed with access to ALL the treasures of wisdom in Christ. The Father has answers waiting—I just need to keep seeking!

But God actually:

The Father isn't limited by your youth leader's knowledge—He has an entire body of brilliant believers who've wrestled with these exact questions. He's about to connect you with answers that will blow your mind.
