About Apologetics in Evangelization Training

Apologetics in Evangelization Training will teach Catholics how to approach answering questions about our faith as more as a “road to Emmaus” moment and less as a boxing match. We all want to be better at sharing our faith, overcoming objections to Jesus and the Church. We will review our “One Good Reason” method of apologetics in depth, talk about various topics, questions, and scenarios when evangelizing, and practice together both in small groups and large groups.
