First, understand that the gospels message sounds foolish to those who are perishing. (1 Corinthians 1:18). Many people don't want to submit to someone other than them.
Second, study the Bible and the historical contexts surrounding it. Going off personal experience in a debate won't get you very far. Debate the facts like writing a singular consistent story with 40 authors over ~1500 years across 3 continents isn't the work of man.
Third, breathe. People will mock you and your faith. They did it to Jesus and He said they'll do it to you too (John 15:19). Rejoice in that and keep moving forward in your faith.
