Can you think of a time when you were called upon to give a defense of your faith in Christ? If so, briefly explain.

Yes. I was at a beach and I heard two friends speaking about God. One was drinking and clearly wasn’t thinking very well and the other was JW. I tried to tell the one that was drinking that there is no works in salvation and the other kept quoting verses about works so I gave him my tel.# hoping he would call after he sobered up so we could talk but he never did.

Yes, talking to my 12 year old granddaughter. She is questioning the whole idea of Christianity and I need answers to give her, the right answers. She wants to know why I believe there is really a God. She has a very questioning mind and takes nothing at face value but questions everything. I need to be prepared.

Neither of my kids are believers. They were raised in a Christian home, went to church regularly and attended Christian schools. They have turned away from their faith. I find it really difficult to explain my faith to someone who has been raised in it and then turned away. I am hoping this course and future courses will help me to explain my faith lovingly to my children.

As a young adult, people at work or in a social gathering would start criticising Christianity – I was too immature in y Christianity and insecure to engage but felt like I was “letting the side down”. I did not understand that I only had to explain what I believed, rather than convert anyone which obviously seemed impossible at the time.

My brother struggles with faith in a God that allows horrible people to get away with hurting good people. I honestly don’t have good (or ANY) answers for him at this point so i’m looking forward to learning through this series.
