Maybe you engage in debates that challenge your ideas and want to have a better system of response. This course offers a simple three step process to aid in having those difficult conversations. Whether engaged in a formal debate or just having a casual conversation on the street sharing your faith can be difficult, but not if you have the right tools and approach to do so effectively.
