Say What You Mean: Defending the Faith Online Classes are new over at Art of Eloquence University!
There are so many questions and misconceptions the world has about the Lord and the Christian faith! We are going through the study one week at a time and then starting over again. This means that you can join the class at any time and take the class over and over as often as you like.
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1Peter 3:15
Are you comfortable with questions like these? If not, you can be after taking this online class!
~What about all the horrible things done in Jesus’ name?
~If there is a God, why is there so much suffering?
~Why are Christians so intolerant?
~Doesn’t the Bible contradict scientific evidence?
Why do most apologetics courses fall short?
~God didn’t make Cookie-Cutter People so a one-size-fits-all approach reaches few unbelievers.
~If people are approached the wrong way, not only will they not accept the Lord, but they will build a wall between themselves and God which includes anyone who would speak to them again about the Lord, the Bible, Salvation or Jesus!
~They most often teach you what to say, but fail to instruct you on how to say it or why these questions are often asked
~They often teach you to open with scripture or statement that doesn’t reflect the concerns of the listener and so they tune you out, or worse, get angry!
~They don’t always teach you how to answer the most common questions and misconceptions
This study is the only one I know of that includes not just what to say but how to say it! God didn’t make cookie cutter people and there is no one size fits all approach to sharing the faith. Folks have questions and misconceptions that need to be addressed on an individual basis. Paul knew this and he talks about how important it was for him to approach people a way that would be most effective in allowing him to save as many souls as possible: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27 (KJV)
"For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."

What people are saying about Say What You Mean: Defending the Faith:
"This is such a needed class and I can see how easily both boys are learning some of the ways to respond (and ways not to respond) to some of the common things people say. I can see how they are understanding their faith in new, deeper ways and making their faith their own. This class has also helped to facilitate discussion in our family around the dinner table. You have a way of presenting things in a straight forward way that is so understandable.Thank you JoJo" -Marcie, Homeschooling mom of two

Take it from Ethel the Editor, folks. Every word JoJo says about this course is 150% accurate! I have edited most of JoJo’s studies and they are all great, but this one is VERY VERY SPECIAL. Maybe it’s because of the subject matter, maybe it’s because it means a lot to me. . . but maybe just because it’s GOOD. Pure and simple.
If you get the witnessing willies when someone challenges you, you need Say What You Mean: Defending the Faith. Even if you don’t, you will never be caught short for the right words to answer a non-believer’s questions ever again. You will learn how to present the Gospel in love and with grace, all the while answering their questions and leaving them with an open heart, even if they don’t accept Christ from your words. Remember, we don’t grow the plant. We just plant the seed. . . and maybe water it a little. :) Defending the Faith will teach you how to do exactly that.
