Shareable Quotes: “Being Jesus to people is much more effective than trying to be ‘Mr. Apologetics' and giving intellectual reasons for something.” – Lee Strobel “Sharing the hope of Christ with people turns us into listeners. A lot of times in evangelism, it can very quickly turn into us doing all the talking, but asking questions turns us into listeners, which was the model that Jesus often led with.” – Shane Pruitt “A lot of theological and apologetics questions start at the head, but what you're doing is bringing it down to the heart level and connecting with the person in love. People need to know that we genuinely love them, and love covers a multitude of sins.” – Paul Worcester “When I say the word ‘evangelist,' I would like your name to come to mind, that you're an evangelist. Even though you don’t see yourself that way, you can be yourself and share Christ in a way that syncs up with who God made you to be, and God will use you.” – Lee Strobel “The more we hear ourselves articulate the gospel, the more confident we'll get. And the more confident we are in what we're saying, the more we will be able to share it.” – Shane Pruitt

All Christians are called to share the Gospel. But very few of us are naturally comfortable with doing it. In this teaching, I want to help you discover your unique style of sharing the faith, according to the way God has gifted you and your natural personality. This teaching will be based on insights from the book, Contagious Faith, by Mark Mittelberg. See: https://www.amazon.com/Contagious-Faith.../dp/0310113288 Gifts test: https://form.jotform.com/61419055688161

This will be the last podcast covering Mark Mittelberg's book. I discuss the last five barriers to a confident faith in Christianity.

This will be the next-to-last podcast covering Mark Mittelberg's book. In this section he looks at five barriers to faith and how to overcome them.

Continuing my look at Mark Mittelberg's book, I cover the remainder of the arrows he says point to the truth of Christianity--Jesus' life and resurrection, the emergence of the church, the changed lives of early skeptics, the deaths of the disciples, the changed minds of modern skeptics, and the testimonies of modern believers.

Mark Mittelberg completes his examination of the Bible as evidence of the truth of Christianity. 

Mark Mittelberg lays out twenty arrows that he believes point to the truth of Christianity. In this podcast we look at six of these arrows dealing with the universe, DNA, the sense of morality we all share, and the Bible.

In chapter 9 Mark Mittelberg reviews the six faith paths that people have chosen in their pursuit of spiritual truths. In addition, he starts in on twelve arrows he believes point to the truth of Christianity. I discuss the first of these--design in the universe. 

Mark Mittelberg continues his examination of various faith paths people take in their search for God. This chapter deals with the Christian view, which he calls the evidential faith path.

Continuing through Mark Mittelberg's book, I cover chapters that explore two popular faith paths people follow--intuitive (truth is what you feel in your heart) and mystical (truth is what you think God told you).

I'm continuing my podcasts covering one book by Mark Mittelberg. This time I cover two chapters that explore faith paths he calls "traditional" and "authoritarian."

I'm continuing an in-depth look at Mark Mittelberg's book. In this podcast I review a chapter that explores one popular worldview today--relativism ("Truth is whatever works for you.").

Mark Mittelberg has a wonderful book that seeks to build a firm foundation for our beliefs about life and God. I used this book in our church apologetics class, so I'd like to go through it in the next few podcasts. Today I will focus on his intro and chapter one, in which he defines faith and explains who has it.

Mark Mittelberg has been following where Christ leads for over 40 years. He's developed a passion and a calling to equip and unleash ordinary Christians to make a difference for the Kingdom of God. Mark shares his story, how the Lord has worked in his life, and, through his partnership with Lee Strobel, how he's able to help teach practical apologetics to the next generation.    Connect with Mark Mark's Website: https://markmittelberg.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarkMittelberg The Strobel Center: https://www.ccu.edu/strobelcenter/ Contagious Faith: https://shopcontagiousfaith.com/

Mark Mittelberg tells how to build a firm foundation for our beliefs. I cover Lee Strobel's foreword to the book and Mittelberg's first chapter, which defines faith and explains that we all live by some form of it.

When most of us think of an "evangelist", it's usually a heroic example like Billy Graham or else a bit of an oddball operating on the fringe of our church. We don't see ourselves as Billy and we don't want others to think we're the oddballs, so we shy away from evangelism altogether. Our guest on PEP Talk today wants us to realise that different types of evangelism can match our unique personality and gifts. It's a liberating idea that means we rely on other members of the Christian body as we support each other in reaching out with the gospel.Mark Mittelberg is a bestselling author, international speaker, and the Executive Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. Mark recently released his all-new book and training course, Contagious Faith: Discover Your Natural Style for Sharing Jesus with OthersHe also wrote the leadership-oriented book, Becoming a Contagious Church, which presents an innovative blueprint for church-based evangelism, as well as severalbooks on apologetics.

This week, Mark Mittelberg brings us a closing argument to conclude our series, "God on Trial."

There is stuff in the Bible that is hard to understand and difficult to explain. And too often, the first time many Christian kids encounter these difficult parts of the Bible is when an atheist professor brings them up in a class, or a friend who is a secular humanist challenges them in the cafeteria or at work. Kids are getting blindsided because they didn't cover those topics in Sunday School or in their youth group. Moms and dads, we aren't doing our kids any favors when we skip these parts of the Bible. In this episode, Catherine discusses what can happen when our kids get questions about parts of the Bible that they've never considered or even heard before. Then she offers 7 practical guidelines on how to approach these sections of Scripture with your kids.GUIDELINES: 1.Take away the ambush. 2.Don't ignore the question.3.Don't downplay the question. 4.Pray about it.5.Get to work.

We all know deep down that we were created for more than just living our comfortable Christian lives. We were made to be a part of the excitement of God's mission to share the gospel with others who need to find fulfillment and forgiveness from God. But few of us are comfortable or confident at sharing Jesus. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we're not. We want to encourage people spiritually, but we don't want to get weird or overbearing in the process. We need to be equipped to talk to people about Jesus in ways that fit our personalities. Over the course of our next two episodes, Mark Mittelberg will help you gain a passion to share Jesus, and learn to naturally share your faith with people around you so you experience the fulfillment and purpose of being a part of God's great mission on earth! Almost no one has trained more Christian to share their faith with others than Mark Mittelberg. Mark Mittelberg is the Executive Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University and long time ministry partner of Lee Strobel. He is a prolific author, speaker and teacher on apologetics and how to share your faith. Pick up Mark's book "Contagious Faith” here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NHWQCBP/.

You can find Lee on twitter @leestrobel and on his website www.leestrobel.comThe Homeschooling information Lee talked about is: www.goodschooling.netTo watch the video of this interview, click here.Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Timesbest-selling author of more than forty books and curricula that have sold fourteen million copies in total. He has been described in the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists.” Lee currently leads the Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. He was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree). He was a journalist for fourteen years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois’ highest honor for public service journalism and investigative reporting from United Press International. After probing the evidence for Jesus, Lee became a Christian in 1981. He subsequently became a teaching pastor at three of America’s largest churches and hosted the national network TV program Faith Under Fire. In addition, he taught First Amendment law at Roosevelt University and was Professor of Christian Thought at Houston Baptist University. In 2017, Lee’s spiritual journey was depicted in an award-winning motion picture, The Case for Christ, which showed in theaters across America and around the world. The movie is still on Netflix. Lee won national awards for his books The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, and The Case for Grace. His latest book is The Case for Miracles. Lee and Leslie Strobel have been married for forty-seven years. Their daughter, Alison, is a novelist, and their son, Kyle, is a professor of spiritual theology at the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. LAKEWOOD, COLORADO, August 27, 2019 – New York Times best-selling author Lee Strobel is teaming up with Colorado Christian University to launch an unprecedented new center for evangelism and apologetics, with the goal of fueling a spiritual renewal in America. “Who is the next Billy Graham? It is millions of contagious Christians who are trained, equipped, and deployed,” said Strobel. “We have a vision to fulfill this mission as quickly as possible.” The Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics will offer accredited courses on the undergraduate and graduate levels – all designed to help churches, ministries, and individual Christians share and defend their faith naturally and effectively. CCU is the preeminent interdenominational Christian university in the Rocky Mountain region, with an online impact that spans the globe. “We stand within the great tradition of Christian universities who are serious about faith and the gospel, and we’re thrilled to have Lee Strobel join our team,” said CCU President Don Sweeting. “Strobel’s background as a former atheist, portrayed in the book and film The Case for Christ, gives him valuable insight into how to reach people who are far from God.” Described in the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists,” Strobel has authored more than forty books and curricula that have sold nearly 14 million copies, including The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, and The Case for Miracles. The Yale-trained former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune also has been a teaching pastor at three of the largest and most evangelistic churches in the country. The Center’s executive director is Strobel’s long-time ministry associate Mark Mittelberg, the bestselling author of such books as Confident Faith, The Reason Why Faith Makes Sense, and The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask (With Answers). Through their Becoming a Contagious Christian training course, Strobel and Mittelberg have already equipped nearly two million Christians worldwide in how to reach others with the gospel. They have also led the outreach and apologetics efforts of one of the largest and most outreachoriented churches in America, and for three decades have innovated evangelism and apologetics conferences, training seminars, national simulcasts, and outreach events. Strobel explained that the word apologetics comes from a Greek term used in the Bible for defending the faith – something, he added, that’s needed more than ever in our increasingly skeptical nation. “We’re focusing on what we’re calling ‘applied apologetics,’ which means we’re going to equip Christians who will be actively engaged in the marketplace of ideas – in local churches and communities, in the media, in the entertainment world, on the Internet, and throughout popular culture,” he said. Strobel and Sweeting agreed that CCU is the perfect home for the new center. Explained Sweeting: “It is a Strategic Priority of Colorado Christian University to share the love of Christ on campus and around the world, and to teach our students to be evangelists. The Strobel Center at CCU is an incredible vehicle to enable us to make new strides to achieve these priorities.” One of the Center’s unique objectives is to train and certify evangelism directors for local churches, who will serve full-time, part-time or on a volunteer basis in partnership with the senior pastor in order to mobilize the church to reach their community for Christ. “We believe in the power of leadership,” Mittelberg said. “The senior pastor can’t do everything himself. We want to equip, mentor, and deploy leaders who will work creatively and effectively under the direction of the senior pastor to reach everyone with the gospel.” To facilitate that training, the Center’s courses will be offered through CCU Online so that people from all backgrounds and stages of life can study from the convenience of their own home. “The Center will feature the latest and most creative technology, the most current and proven content, and live interaction with passionate and credentialed educators,” Strobel said. Other unique features of the Center include organizing a Think Tank, composed of leading Christian scholars, innovators, and practitioners, to collaborate on fresh ways of explaining and spreading the gospel, as well as hosting national conferences to share best practices and encourage churches in saturating their communities with the Christian message. Founded in 1914, Colorado Christian University provides Christ-centered higher education that transforms students to impact the world with grace and truth. Located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, CCU is consistently ranked in the top 2 percent of colleges nationwide for its core curriculum by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. CCU offers undergraduate and graduate degrees for traditional and adult students through its College of Undergraduate Studies and College of Adult and Graduate Studies. More than 8,000 students attend the University on the main campus, in regional centers throughout Colorado, and online. The Strobel Center’s courses are expected to begin Fall 2020.

Many hear the call to be bold and share their faith. But how exactly does this look for the believer, especially in the complicated & divisive world we find ourselves in? Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg, in their article titled "The Missing Person Your Church Desperately Needs," outline why they believe it is so vital for those in the church to learn how to productively share their faith. They provide simple & practical ways that we as believers can share our faith, how to respond to our increasingly hostile society we find ourselves in, and the importance of "joining the team" to reach the world with who we are and what we're wired to do. Lee and Mark also share about the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics and how it is so relevant for this topic.
