• Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions ~ Thursdays @ 7:00 p.m. Resumes in September

  

  Join us in our study of - "Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions"

  In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority.

  In the Tactics course, apologist and author Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to get in the driver’s seat, keeping any conversation moving with thoughtful, artful diplomacy. You’ll learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through minefields, stop challengers in their tracks, turn the tables and—most importantly—get people thinking about Jesus. Soon, your conversations will look more like diplomacy than D-Day. 

  After completing this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Initiate gospel conversations effortlessly
  • Present the truth clearly, cleverly, and persuasively
  • Graciously and effectively expose faulty thinking
  • Skillfully manage the details of dialogue
  • Maintain an engaging, disarming style even under attack 

  For a link to join this study, please contact Jeanne Axelrod through Facebook messenger.
