Eric Simmons - The early church faced extreme persecution and held no political power, yet it grew exponentially.

We have stopped teaching the “why” behind the “what” of Christianity. This session will cover the role of apologetics in discipleship, including practical insights for equipping Christ-followers to defend their faith in an ever-changing culture.
