This is a preview episode to talk about the Fall 2023 series on Apologetics.Apologetics is the term used to describe "making a defense" of something. This comes from 1 Peter 3:15-16, where the apostle challenges the church to, "in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil."During this series, we will be discussing different objections to the Christian faith and helping to equip with ways to think about God's world.

Testimonies are powerful. They are the stories we tell to share of the faithfulness of God in our lives.In this episode of "TESTIMONY," we hear the testimony of GHCC itself, as we listen to clips from the first GHCC Business meeting ("Charter Membership Service") that Golden Hills hosted on April 15, 1984. This meeting happened about four months after Pastor Larry Adams accepted the call to shepherd this local church, and at this meeting, we hear some testimonies of our charter members who affirmed the same church covenant (39 years ago) that we affirm today.  We hope you enjoy this special episode.
