Welcome to this class!

Recently, a Barna poll discovered six reasons why people are leaving the church. Are you ready for this? Four of them were related to apologetics, not poor home groups or weak worship! These reasons included the church’s failure to teach people how to interact with science, how to answer tough questions raised against Christianity, and how to give people freedom to express their doubts and get help without being ostracized. The need for people to know why they believe what they do is a current crisis that is not being met adequately. Teaching people to value, learn, and minister apologetics to others is a key part of meeting this crisis.

For this and many other reasons we will learn in the process of going through the course, I am excited and honored to have you as a student. We will explore a lot of topics together, and in my experience, when we are finished, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much your own faith has stabilized and strengthened. And you will have a non-defensive courage to share your faith with a steady confidence. So put on your thinking cap and let’s jump in!
