Thoughtful Evangelism in our Skeptical Age
Apologetics on the Front Lines of Gospel Proclamation

with Lee Strobel, Mark Mittelberg, and Craig Hazen

Supercharge your evangelism!

Over the last thirty years there has been a measurable decline in the effectiveness of the basic evangelistic message.  Unbelievers today are better prepared with what they think are real objections to the Gospel.  Hence the simple saving message is more easily deflected by those who desperately need it.

Lee Strobel, Mark Mittelberg, Erik Thoennes, and Craig Hazen will be teaching about a powerful synthesis between evangelism and apologetics that can make our Gospel preaching, in St. Paul's words, "powerful through God" (2 Cor 10:4).

A panel discussion with follow the screening featuring Lad Allen, Jonathan Wells, and David Berlinski.
