You can learn to study the Bible, grow in your knowledge of God's Word, and develop your ability to defend your faith and biblical worldview—and you don't have to go to seminary to do it. You can always be ready to give a defense for the hope you have in Jesus. And you can do it gracefully, with gentleness and respect.
"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect"
1 Peter 3:15
Apologists and apologetics are often heard as big words that inspire images of older men in tweed jackets, sitting by fireplaces, smoking pipes. Are you picturing C.S. Lewis yet? But the truth is that everyone is an apologist and has an apologetic for something. That includes you, whether you realize it or not.
An apologist is someone who gives a defense, otherwise known as an apologetic. Christian apologetics is the defense of the Christian faith and biblical worldview. If you're a Christian who believes in the evidence for Christianity, you're on your way to being a Christian apologist.
If you’re going to choose only one book on apologetics this year – read this one! Apologetics for an Ever-Changing Culture is a must read for any Christian who wants to be ready to share and defend their faith and worldview in our rapidly evolving culture… and to do it as the Apostle Peter encouraged, […]

When I thought about what book I’d like to study through slowly this summer, the book of Ruth was at the top of my list. 2024 has already been one of the toughest years of my life. My family and I have walked through a lot of uncertainty and big decisions. God has been faithful […]

Do you desire to have a solid, unshakeable, unwavering faith?
Faith on a Firm Foundation?
A Faith that feels rooted, not rickety?
A Faith that feels PERSONAL, NOT BORROWED?
A Faith YOU CAN EXPLAIN, NOT STUMBLE OVER?
If this is the kind of faith you desire as a Christian woman, you can have it.
The first place to start is the Bible.
When you commit to reading and studying God's Word regularly, not just as an exercise for the sake of knowledge, but as a way to grow closer to the heart of God, it will be a blessing to you that increases, sharpens and roots your faith.
"Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."
- Proverbs 30:5, ESV
Is your Christian
YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME, WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
What would life look like if you could...
STOP CHASING "MORE" OF ANYTHING BUT JESUS?
TRUST GOD IS GOOD, FAITHFUL AND FOR YOU?
DEVELOP A DAILY HABIT OF STUDYING GOD'S WORD?
I don't know what your story is.
I don't know what difficult seasons you've walked in.
I don't know what storm you're facing today.
I don't know what you've celebrated or what you've grieved.
Jesus wants to have a personal relationship with you - no matter who you are or what you've done.
You don't have to come to Jesus with your life together. He is the one who cleanses you.
Jesus is the only way to heaven, where you will eternally enjoy God.
God is the Maker of Heaven and Earth and YOU!
He made you, He sees you, He knows you and He loves you.
You have free will to choose to put your faith in Jesus, or not.
And if you do, the moment you put your faith in Christ, His Holy Spirit dwells within you (1 Corinthians 12:13) and you are made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
1 Peter 3:14-15 esv
"But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,"
I've always believed in God, but I haven't always known God. In my early 30s, I stepped inside of a nondenominational Christian church for the first time in my life and sat astonished as people took notes, wrote in their Bibles and raised their hands in worship. Having been raised Catholic and only ever attended Catholic mass, this was an entirely new experience for me. My life and my walk with Jesus hasn't been the same since...
