Eight weeks on evangelism and apologetics, sharing and defending the faith.
Most of us want to share our faith, and most of us feel unequipped to do it. To Boldly Go set out to change that, with eight weeks on the why and the how of evangelism, and on the good reasons behind what we believe.
We looked at the questions people ask about faith, the confidence the gospel gives, and the gentleness and respect that should mark every conversation. Faith is worth sharing, and we can share it well.

Isaac Newton once had a detailed model of the solar system built and displayed it in his home just to make a point to a skeptical friend: when the friend asked who built it, Newton insisted it had simply appeared by accident, then asked how, if that was absurd, the real solar system could have appeared by chance.

Nick Vujicic was born with no arms and no legs, and spent years of his childhood wondering what he'd done wrong to deserve it, until, at fifteen, he read the story of a man born blind in John 9 and realized his life wasn't a punishment but a platform. On Father's Day, Pastor Mark Addis tackles one of the hardest questions in the Christian faith: how can a loving God allow suffering?
