Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET or 5:30pmET at Grace Community Church located at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan CT, 06840).

The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

    I grew up atheist most of my life and later became agnostic. May of 2023 at age 42, I couldn't deny it anymore and I gave my life to Christ. Greatest thing to happen to me
  • @seinahullu33
    I was an atheist during 2023 but thanks to Cliffe i found Christ into my life.
  • @BuzzGarwood
    Cliffe came to UC Santa Barbara when I was a student back in the early 90s. I skipped class because I was blown away by all the truth bombs he was dropping! Praise the Lord for Cliffe!!!
  • @jacobstahly7501
    “Bro the new askcliffe just dropped”, is a weekly statement out our house XD
  • I love how Stewart is becoming bolder and more like his dad every debate. Love to see the tradition continue on.
  • @adamjacquez9495
    This first guy is very rare. Credit to him for being willing to thoughtfully consider Cliffs point of view. Most non believers hide behind inconsistent arguments because they so desperately don’t want to proclaim Jesus as Lord.
  • Before 2022/2023, i called my self a so called "christian" then i started actually reading the bible, and studying, and watching cliffes videos, and i realized i was not living my life as a christian, i was living my life as a lier. I've started taking it more seriously now, and have started going to church, im re reading the bible throughout the year, and im so happy because of it. Thank you

    That kid with long hair was so kind, I’ll be praying for him to find the LORD that was a very good and respectful conversation.
  • @EagleEye0090
    I loved the first kid. He was respectful, raised very challenging questions without being smug or trying to catch Cliff in some elaborate trap. He had genuine questions, listened, AND when it didn’t make sense to him and had objections, he asked follow-up questions remaining respectful. I certainly hope he walked away with more questions, and a desire to seek the answers.

    “You’re worshipping the search.” Stuart Knechtle That was a quick witted profound statement! Good job Stuart!
  • My granddaughter is 11 years old and found Cliff's videos and as a result of watching him and listening she has decided she wants a closer relationship to God! Awesome job Cliff! Your definitely drawing them in all ages! I already take her to church and she says grace over ebery meal no matter where we are! Praise God
  • @RawSan98
    God bless Cliffe's heart man. We need more people like him
  • @jonahwaring
    You can tell the older cliff gets the more fluid and convincing he becomes. Not that he wasn’t these things before, he was and he was great them, but you can tell hes improved even beyond that.
  • There is no greater love than to take your time and dedicate your life to serving God by explaining to people of his existence and the fact that if any of us die without receiving Christ as our lord and savior we’re going to end up spending eternity without him. I love listening to Cliffe answer hard questions; it brightens my understanding and pushes me to continue preaching.🙏 God bless your ministry 🙏
  • @6ohpowertower612
    Stuart just laid the law. Cliffe just sat there and took it all in. Love it.
  • @justingary5322
    I was raised Christian but became an atheist and agnostic from 2017-2019 as a teenager dealing with mental health issues until I started reading my Bible again after my music teacher gave me his red Bible I read it from Genesis to Revelation. I would call Cliffe Knechtle and his family heroes because people like that look out for believers and unbelievers alike as human beings whether they agree, disagree or disrespectfully disagree. AMEN most people aren't looking for The Truth but feeling better or superior to others. Apostle Paul accepted his weaknesses as a way to glorify our Creator 🙏👊❤️. We're all sinners trying to do Good or Evil in our actions and intentions. After reading The Bible in it's context I realized that The 7 Days of Creation in Genesis are actually 7 thousand years as a Day to The Lord God is a thousand years as Psalm and 2 Peter says so the Earth is actually older than 14 thousand years old so it could be millions to billions of years old. I'm glad brothers Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle's Apologetics ministry still going strong in 2023 after all these decades. Evolutionary biology from common ancestry has nothing to do with believing in a Creator we call God but it's a tool used by Atheists, agnostics and secular people to promote their own godless community and agenda against Christianity. Atheists and secular humanists are guilty of promoting a nihilistic reality where everyone and everything is objectively meaningless because of and in spite of religion and Atheism. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

    Archeology in the past 50yrs show the bible to be even more true and gives evidence of the New and Old testament truths.
  • @domad33
    "You are worshipping the search" DAM that one got me. There are always people who are on the fence who say "I just need to do more window shopping and then I'll be open to it" who claim the moral high ground of openmindedness, but never actually do and are stuck in this perpetual cycle of forever "looking" when it's staring them in the face.

    Stuart Killed it! In a good way. We need more of this Stuart! He was going in.
