What are the issues the Seminar seeks to address?
In the world today there are so many different religions and worldviews competing for people’s minds and souls, that it is very hard for people to see what is the truth versus what is counterfeit.
People think, “Can’t all religions lead to God? And surely a good person will be accepted by ‘God’, whoever that really is”.
On top of this, people have many issues with Christianity, like if there’s an all-powerful and all-loving God, then why is there pain and suffering in the world, isn’t Christianity out of step with culture today, and hasn’t Christianity been responsible for bad things in the past? Plus, it’s hard enough for Christians to be functional and maintain a job and friendships in the world today, without trying to share their faith, especially if they are not a natural evangelist.
Participants will come away with very sound reasons with which to defend their faith; equipped with tools to better help their friends and loved ones to understand why it is that Christianity stands as the Truth and Light in the world today.
