SEMINAR TOPICS:

What’s the Problem?

• Are Christians ready to give a logical defense of the Christian faith to non-believers?
• Why are over 50% of Christian youth walking away from their faith when they leave home?
• What are the key lies that contribute to this compromise and why is there a worldview crisis within the body of Christ?

The Reliability of Scripture

• Why is the Bible the most reliable document of antiquity? (Bibliographic Evidence)
• How do we know the Bible is historically and archaeologically accurate? (External Evidence for Christianity)
• Were the authors of the Bible eyewitnesses and were they detailed and accurate? (Internal Evidence)
• How can we respond to skeptics?

Post-Modernism & Worldviews

• What is a worldview and why does it matter?
• What is post-modernism and how does it contend with reality, truth, and a biblical worldview?
• Why is a Christian worldview the most rational, reasonable, and logical?
• Practical overviews of logic, reason, truth; cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments for God.

Influencing Culture

• Why is every Christian a leader?
• What would happen if the 60 million Bible-believing Christians in America intentionally purposed to influence and impact the culture around them?
• How can Christians impact their spheres of influence in schools, workplaces, communities; social issues and who God is calling to be His hands and feet?
