Why a Women’s Apologetics Conference?
It’s no secret that our Christian witness is being marginalized and, in some places, all but extinguished. In response to this, many apologists have risen to challenge these ideas that work to hinder our Christian witness.
Women have entered the realm and achieved serious recognition as apologists and we have assembled some of the best in the country today. Not only are they apologists, but mothers, wives, grandmothers, and successful single women who have risen to the task and learned this much needed skill. These women are filling a void in the confirmation and defense of the gospel and they can help you do the same. Here’s three reasons why you should attend the New Jersey Women’s Apologetics Conference.
Reason #1 You will be spiritually edified as you learn what is happening in our culture and how to make a difference as a Christian woman.
Reason #2 You will gain confidence in your responsibility to share your faith with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors no matter their religious convictions.
Reason #3 As a woman, you either are or will be a caregiver, nurturer, or a teacher at some point. As you learn your importance as a woman and learn the “why” and “how” of defending your faith, you will be better equipped to pass on this skill to your children, grandchildren, church family, and friends.
It is our hope you will take up the challenge and come to hear and learn how to strengthen your Christian witness, grow in confidence, and embark on a much needed journey.
