• Are you prepared for the day when your kids begin asking hard questions about God and the Bible?

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Christianity is True! is a 15-week introduction to contemporary Christian apologetics. While introductory, the content is college-level, and each week you'll be stretched to love the Lord with ALL your mind. The course is built to strengthen your walk with Christ, and through it, you will learn to defend your faith using reason and evidence.
1 Peter 3:15 tells us that we must be prepared to gently and respectfully defend the hope that is in us to anyone who asks us to give a reason for that hope. The Greek word translated "make a defense" in this verse is "ἀπολογίαν (apologian)" and refers to a logically-ordered and rational defense such as those given in a court of law. Are you prepared?

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Pastor Dave is, at heart, a teacher. Whether in a formal setting, behind the pulpit on

Sunday, around the dinner table with his family, or simply in conversation with a

friend, Dave loves to talk Bible, theology, philosophy, and history. A voracious

learner, he relishes the opportunity to help “the lightbulb go off” for others as their

minds are renewed to God’s truth, goodness, and beauty. Pastor Dave has over

12 years of vocational ministry experience and holds a degree in Evangelism &

Church Planting from North Central University. He has pastored SkyWater Church

in Shakopee, Minnesota since its inauguration seven years ago. Dave's beautiful wife

and four beautiful children are among his greatest joys.​
