Fall 2022 EFCC Apologetics Class 1–info
Sorry we had technical difficulties trying to offer an online component to our first class. Instead, we will be recording each class and putting it online later for people to watch whenever they wish. In this video I cover my introductory remarks for the first class and give a quick report on the Baha’i faith.
A Different Kind of Apologetics
Here’s a different approach to apologetics. We can tell people they might want to look into Christianity because it meets so many deep needs we all have.
Using Stories to Illustrate Christian Truths
Our society loves stories. We can use them to illustrate the truth of Christianity.
Worldview Thinking–The New Civil War
What’s a worldview? What two philosophies struggle for worldview dominance in the U.S. today, and which is more reasonable?
Introduction to Apologetics and Tactics
What is apologetics, and how can we use it effectively as we share the truth of Christianity?
Miracles
We look at reasons to believe in miracles and objections to the existence of them.
Critical Thinking for Christians
What are the keys to good, clear, critical thinking?
What Does It Mean to be an Ambassador?
Paul says we are to be ambassadors for Christ. What would that look like? What practical steps can we take to be effective ambassadors?
Worldview Thinking for Christians
What do we mean by "worldview"? What are two competing worldviews in our society today? In what ways is Christianity a superior worldview?
Comparing Worldviews–Christian and Skeptic
This talk is a little different. This time I'd like to aim my comments at skeptics who don't think there's a God. I want to show them that the Christian worldview is actually much better at reflecting reality--it's more logical to believe in a God than not to believe. I examine four key questions all worldviews have to answer and show that the Christian worldview does a better job of answering these key questions.
