Yes preachers like priests and ministers are too scammed. But I'm sure that some Christian apologists lie for personal reasons (money , pleasure to manipulate people , being highly-respected etc...).
Also I think that some of them believe and make "pious frauds" like they think that these lies can save us.

Therefore there are four possibilities :
1.You believe all you say.
2.You don't believe what you say.
3.You don't believe all you say because you use the "pious fraud".
4.You're not a preacher.

Lee strobel comes to mind as does william lane craig.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
