I saw that, too. Not sure what it signifies, as I've never read Martin's work.

As I said, I only watched maybe 3 videos of Ravi, and took a cursory look at his website, and won't try to defend or trumpet his ministry.

But I resonate with the idea that he takes his message to Hindus, Muslims, atheists, and Mormons. Instead of staying in a relatively safe place, and speaking before a throng of agreeable folks, he often puts himself in a vulnerable position, in front of people who don't have a vested interest to see things his way.

My sense was that he was counting on magnanimity, humility, and grace (i.e. "Christ in me") as much as rhetoric, to convey his message. He was clearly defending his position, and saying, "This is my truth", yet he was openly cultivating an atmosphere of mutual respect.

Anyway, I liked watching it. But I'm not going to evaluate the man's ministry, yea or nay. I'm not qualified, and I'm not interested in taking the time and effort to become qualified.
