You will never quite understand what it means to me to have had my son in this class. This was an answer to prayer on many levels and I am exceedingly grateful for God's faithfulness and for the gift of your time and the way you spoke into these students' lives.

For the fourth consecutive year, I will be teaching an apologetics course/club to prepare students for NCFCA competition.
My passion through this class is to help you train your young people to be like Apollos of old: mighty in the scriptures, eloquent in words, zealous in heart, humble and teachable in spirit, motivated to strengthen the church, and motivated to speak to the unbeliever.
Bio
As pastor and homeschool father of four, I am concerned that our children stand firm in their faith and follow the Lord as adults.
Toward that end, I have authored an apologetics workbook, the Silver Book , to make this category more accessible to a greater number of young people. faith.
Your child will walk away from this class with his faith strengthened and his or her questions answered.
Class Acitivities
1. In 2008-2009, audio lectures were delivered over the Internet. For 2009-2010, students will interact using Internet meeting software.
2. Students will listen to the weekly lectures over the Internet. Lectures will be about 30-35 minutes long and address one topic in detail and then take some a little time to talk about a more advanced question. To view a list of the topics send me a request using the contact form.
3. Students will prepare 22-25 cards if they choose to take the course at a .5 credit level (3-4 hours per week). With those cards they will be fully prepared to participate in a tournament.

Apologetics has changed my life. Looking back, I can't even imagine life without the things I learned in apologetics, it just had such an impact. I can now confidently discuss my Christian faith with anyone I meet, and most importantly, my relationship with God is greater than ever before.
