A 14-week course taught by Jake Benoit
Basic Apologetics
Why we believe and how to defend it
A clear, practical introduction to the reasons for Christian faith—built to help you think carefully, answer honestly, and speak with confidence, gentleness, and respect.
The big picture
Know why you believe.
Faith does not have to fear a hard question. This course gives you a thoughtful foundation for the conversations that matter most.
Across fourteen guided weeks, we’ll move from the nature of truth and evidence for God to the reliability of Scripture, the identity and resurrection of Jesus, the problem of suffering, and practical ways to respond to objections.
