Christianity: What is it and why should anyone care? 🤔
Is it just another religion, or is it the true worldview that provides answers
to life’s most important question? Join Dr. Frank Turek as he covers the essential truths of Christianity – AND the evidence we have for them!
“This course gave me so many tools to be able to practically defend the faith. 1 Peter 3:15 says, in part, "always be ready to give an answer" and this course helped me to do just that. Every week's lesson gave me substance to be a better ambassador for Christ and I am so glad that I took this Life's Compass course!”
-Ketura B. (SELF-PACED Course Student)
Dr. Frank Turek has been providing evidence and answering questions from believers and non-believers about the Christian faith for over 20 years. He is a dynamic speaker and award-winning author or co-author of five books: Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to make their Case, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist, Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage and Transgenderism, Hollywood Heroes, and Legislating Morality. As the President of CrossExamined.org & CrossExamined International, Frank presents powerful and entertaining evidence for Christianity at churches, high schools and at secular college campuses that are often hostile to his message. He has also debated several prominent atheists including Christopher Hitchens and David Silverman, president of American Atheists.
"It was a joy taking this course. I, personally, took advantage of the self-paced course due to time constraints and was able to absorb more detail this way without being stressed due to a time factor. With that said, however, I would have loved to have been able to ask Dr. Turek questions via live chat through the premium course. Maybe next time.
I highly recommend this course to EVERY Christian. No matter where your walk is in the faith.

"Thank you so much for offering this in-depth course on the Essentials of the Faith. It has impacted me in ways I could not have imagined when I first signed up for this course. I listen to your podcasts and have read all your books. I have also taken a couple other courses from [Online Christian Courses] and look forward to taking more in the future. But, this course on the essentials has impacted my life far more than any of the books and podcasts I have listened to. While I enjoy listening to your podcasts, I have also followed many of your colleagues on radio for quite some time and have learned so much about defending my faith and articulating it in such a way that is impactful on those I come in contact with that are otherwise hostile or apathetic to Christianity. After taking this course I feel that I am ready to make an impact for Christ through education in my community. I want to use my spiritual gifts in teaching to reach our young generations to make the next big impact in our communities and around the world. Thank you, [Online Christian Courses] for all you do!

"Good title, it is appropriate and accurate. Really enjoyed this course. Thank God, the compass does not point to me. Wish I could have heard all of this 40 yrs ago.
