When a Christian is speaking to the skeptic or an atheist it often feels like the burden of proof is on the believer. But what if the very existence of the universe we live in can prove otherwise? In this session we analyze some components of the cosmological argument for the existence of God.

"Is Jesus the Only Way to Heaven???"
Michael Lawing
Christianity makes a really bold claim: Jesus is the ONLY way to know God and be with Him in heaven when we die.

In this lesson we discuss philosophically and biblically why we believe this is true.

"Is the Bible trustworthy??" (Part 1)

"If God is so good then why does he let terrible things happen?"
Michael Lawing
In session one of Equip - Defending Your Faith, we warm up by introducing a common objection to faith in the God of the Bible - The problem of evil. If God is so good like Christians say he is then why do bad things happen? Why do babies die of disease and why do earthquakes kills thousands of people? We learn why this objections are easily answered through the scriptures and logic.
