What would be cool to is if people would take their head out of the books, tone done the intramural debate, and try their apologetic methodolgy in the real world. Sure, your view may sound good in theory, and you may impress other Christians with you critiques of non-Christian positions, even though they may be straw men you've demolished; but what about getting in the trenches? What's the point of studying apologetics if you're not going to use it? Test your metal. Test your grit. Go and empirically verify if you have an apologetic method that works

For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them. For they could not bear the command, "IF EVEN A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT WILL BE STONED." And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, "I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling." But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:18-24
