Defending Your Faith | Facing Hard Questions
•
Ron Kool, Arek O'Connell
Pastor Ron Kool introduced a new season of adult discipleship focused on apologetics—defending the Christian faith. He emphasizes that apologetics is about offering reasons for belief in Christianity and exposing weaknesses in alternatives, with the goal of strengthening believers and encouraging non-believers. He stresses that living out faith with love comes first, and explanations follow when people ask. There is encouragement to use clear logic, avoid fallacies, and keep discussions respectful, aiming to win people rather than arguments.
Future sessions will explore questions such as the reliability of the Bible, suffering, doubt, science and faith, and salvation, while balancing both faith and reason in conversations.
