Christians all over the United States and around the world have accessed and used the curriculum below. I keep it here as a free download because I believe God will use it to help people know who they are and defend what they believe. As part of my Doctorate of Ministry work at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, NC, what you see below was developed to be used in the local church context.

My passion for apologetics started years ago when I was serving as a part-time youth pastor and teaching in the public schools in the Charlotte, NC area. I found that my students had questions about God and the Christian faith that I was not prepared to answer. The importance of being prepared cannot be overstated. The purpose of this curriculum is to introduce the basic concepts, contenders, and criticisms of Christianity and prepare the reader to provide a defense for the hope that is in them (1 Pet. 3:15). “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15 NKJV).
