Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
​in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Starting with the Apostle Paul, the Church has a long history of apologetics.  Properly understood, apologetics is any rational
​defense of the Bible's truth claims.  It is giving the best answers to our culture's toughest questions.  
​In short, it is effective 
evangelism.

​About this Ministry
​As atheism and eastern religions continue their rise in America, recent studies indicate that more than half of all Christians will lose their faith in college. This ministry has gone to great lengths to compile a list of the most common questions and misconceptions about our faith and then develop a curriculum with the intention of preparing believers to defend their faith in the twenty first century. Because many of us do not believe a good music ministry is sufficient to prepare young believers for the onslaught from secularists, we developed Faith from Evidence. Our goal is to help church groups teach an apologetics program and ultimately make better evangelists of your church members. We offer a video or audio program, curriculum, PowerPoints and other material, all free to the user on our Education tab above. Our ministry revolves around the course we've entitled, Introduction to Apologetics, which consists of eleven, two and a half hour sessions and covers every branch of apologetics, such as: What is truth?, The Reliability of the Bible, Evidence for the Resurrection, Understanding Pain and Suffering, Christianity and Public Policy, Intelligent Design, Problems with Evolutionary Theory and What is a Worldview?

​The course, which took over five years to develop, went through rigorous testing in one of America’s largest churches. By taking very complex academic arguments and simplifying them for the average high school student, we’ve made apologetics available to all church members. Each video session begins with a list of popular questions, which we then discuss through the session and recap at the end of each session. Examples of some of the questions we address include: Don't all religions lead to God? Isn't truth relative? Isn't evolution a fact? Who made God? Isn't the Bible just a book of myths? Weren't most wars religious wars? Isn't faith illogical? Hasn't science disproved God? Doesn't the Bible support slavery? and If God is love, why is there so much evil in the world? The simplicity of this approach will help believers at any level better overcome popular objections to the Bible and 
articulate the Gospel message more precisely. None of the curriculum covers any controversial theological or apologetics issue (young/old earth), so despite your denomination, you can have confidence that none of the material will conflict with your church’s doctrine.

How to Use the Material
In an ideal circumstance, the pastor will designate someone to teach the course, who will then prepare by watching each video session and using the corresponding PowerPoint presentation. Or the church can play the videos in class, right from this website. In both cases participants can follow along with the curriculum. Another option is to have students watch the videos at home and then discuss them in class using the PowerPoint presentation. Each session is about two and a half hours long. We recommend that they are taught in one week intervals (11 weeks),  split each session in half for 22 one-hour sessions or delete three sessions for an eight week course.  Each session has a corresponding curriculum, video and PowerPoint presentation.  Participants can download and print the 212 page curriculum booklet or the church can print and bind them for the students. To get started, just go to the Education tab above and start downloading the material and watching the videos.  In the end, we hope to strengthen the student's faith and make better disciples by teaching believers the language of our twenty first century secular society and providing answers to some of the toughest questions raised by that society.
