Forensic Faith 101: Convincing Communication
“There are four things that we ought to do with the Word of God – admit it as the Word of God, commit it to our hearts and minds, submit to it, and transmit it to the world.” – William Wilberforce This week we are focusing on the fourth and final chapter of J. Warner… Continue Reading
Forensic Faith 101: Intense Investigation
“Here then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God’s Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our… Continue Reading
Forensic Faith 101: Targeted Training
I am going to start this post today with a prayer request: Please join me in praying for our brother Nabeel Qureshi. Those of you who know who he is please up your prayers for his pain to be relieved, for him and and family to know the peace of God that passes all understanding,… Continue Reading
Forensic Faith 101: Distinctive Duty
This month I am teaching from J. Warner Wallace’s book Forensic Faith. This is what Dr. Craig Hazen, founder and director of the Graduate Program in Christian Apologetics at Biola University, has said: “This book connects. It is one the of most accessible books addressing the foundational issues in [Christian] apologetics I have ever seen. Superb material that… Continue Reading
Forensic Faith 101: Do you have an accidental or evidential faith?
Why am I a Christian and not a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or Atheist? If I answer “because that is what I grew up with,” or “because I had an experience,” or “because I just feel that it is true” then I have an accidental faith. The problem with an accidental faith is that it is… Continue Reading

I am dedicating this week’s post to Nabeel Qureshi, Christian Apologist and our brother in Christ, who is battling stage four stomach cancer at the young age of 34. One of the main reasons for highlighting Nabeel this week is to ask all of you to become prayer warriors for him and his family as… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: Forensic Faith
“J. Warner Wallace’s ‘Forensic Faith’ completes the trilogy of wonderful books making the evidentiary case for the historicity and veracity of the Christian faith in language that twenty-first [century] Americans can clearly and readily understand. I have seldom seen an approach to verifying the truth claims of the Christian faith that is more effective than… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: A Resurrection Apologetic
The Resurrection is the lynchpin that marks the Christian faith, the only faith that claims their leader defeated death. Many skeptics, cultist and some from other faiths dispute the fact of the Resurrection and some even say that Jesus did not die on the cross. Dr. William Lane Craig, World Renowned Christian Apologist, Theologian and… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: A Case for the Eyewitnesses of Jesus
I often hear skeptics and atheists say things like, “the Bible is the same as all the other ‘holy books’ that tell mythological stories.” Nothing could be further from the truth! Upon close examination one will find that the Bible is mainly written as an historical narrative by eyewitnesses, or are documentations of eyewitness accounts,… Continue Reading
