How to Get Apologetics in Your Church: Introduction

During the month of September 2010, Apologetics 315 will feature a series of blog posts that respond to the question: “How can I get apologetics in my church?” For many delving into the stimulating world of Christian apologetics, this is a burning question.

The goal of this project is a simple one: to share stories, experiences, and advice that will help Christians to start their own local apologetics initiatives. Whether you be a pastor, youth pastor, teacher, elder, or lay person, this series of short essays could hold the keys you need to get things started in your own local congregation.

The contributors to this project range from lay leaders to pastors, self-taught to formally trained. But they all share something in common: they are Christians who love Jesus, they have a passion to defend the Christian faith, and they have found an outlet for training and equipping others in the local church. As you read (or listen) you will hear them describe their situations, challenges, and testimonies as they helped initiate small groups, apologetics Sunday school classes, apologetics events, movie nights, and sermons.

Each blog post will also be made available as an MP3 file to be released along with their respective text version. These audio files can be downloaded through each day’s blog post, or through the “How to Get Apologetics in Your Church” podcast feed here or in iTunes. At the end of the series, readers may download an ebook version of the collection.

It has been a pleasure working with the contributors to this project. My prayer is that what they share here will spark ideas and ignite groups like theirs. I also pray that their ministries will be blessed and that through them many will be strengthened in their faith, emboldened in their witness, and brought nearer to Christ.

Enjoy.
