Frontline Apologetics: How to Respond to Honest Questions by Spiritual Seekers, Critical Challenges by Religious Skeptics, and Fallacious Comments by Argumentative Contrarians

Times and Locations:

Tuesdays, Jan. 10 – March 27, 7 PM, Perimeter Church

Course Synopsis:

Christians are often caught unprepared when confronted by honest questions by spiritual seekers, critical challenges by religious skeptics, and/or fallacious comments by argumentative contrarians.

Such encounters can be frustrating, unnerving, and even embarrassing, and often leave Christians wishing that they were better equipped to handle such situations. One reason why so many Christians are hesitant to share their faith is because they feel unprepared to handle tough questions and challenges from non-believers. It only takes one or two such encounters before many Christians decide to never again risk sharing their beliefs.
