We live in a world where our faith is constantly being questioned. Even though faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see (Hebrews 11:3), there are still certain answers we can give to people which might make them think twice about Christianity. In this study, we’ll walk through Mark Mittelberg’s book and examine various Bible passages to learn how we can best talk with people about tough issues. More importantly, we’ll discuss strategies for pointing people to their Savior Jesus. Click on the links below to see the handouts for the studies.
