Christianity vs. Everybody
HOW COULD A GOOD GOD ALLOW EVIL?
IS THE BIBLE HOMOPHOBIC?
IS CHRIST REALLY THE ONLY WAY?
Whether you’re new to the faith or have been raised in Christianity your whole life, these questions have most likely crossed your mind, perhaps even creating serious doubts for yourself or someone you know.
If you want to deepen your own faith or help those who are struggling, we invite you to join us for our weekend seminar, “Christianity vs. Everybody,” hosted by DBTS.
We’ll tackle these difficult questions and engage in helpful discussion.
