For your encouragement and the glory of God:

Hi Jeff, I'm a huge fan of your ministry in Az. I found yall on youtube and thought id drop an email.

my name is ---, I go to a small acts 29 church in McAllen Tx where i serve on the worship team called Logos. About a year ago I was a huge atheist, I use to go to school and find christians to debate, I was also heavily into pornography and drugs. But Jesus has set me free from my past, I love Christ and I really felt led to let you know that i'm praying for your mission up there,

you are the first apologist ive seen that really cares about the lost and not just about winning an argument

Praise be to God for saving us, ill be praying for apologia

p.s. who are some other dudes that you read and listen to, guys that have the same attitude about the gospel

Thanks --- the former atheist

Part 2: Militant anti-Theism & hijacking science: Dawkins & Krauss on Redemption Radio

This is part-2 of:

This February, Dr. Richard Dawkins and Dr. Lawrence Krauss joined forces at ASU's Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, Arizona. They met to have a lively discussion on the topic of "something from nothing"-- which is an essential part of Krauss' newest book (A Universe from Nothing). The house was packed and the energy was high.

Vocab Malone (Backpack Radio) and I were in attendance to listen to what was expected to be a very interesting discussion. After attending the event we determined that we needed to do a radio program on the event and some of the underlying issues. We could think of no better man to have on with us to confront Dawkins & Krauss than Dr. Jonathan Sarfati from Creation Ministries International (Creation.com). Dr. Sarfati wrote a fantastic book refuting Dawkins called "The greatest hoax on earth?".

This show is fantastic! It needs to be shared. If you get an opportunity to hear this show or to listen to the actual lecture given at Gammage you will discover that these militant anti-thiests are not satisfied with discussion and debate- they deny that there is even a debate at all- they want your universities, hospitals, politics and... your children.

Check-out this audio and share it with your believing and Atheist friends and family!

Help Apologia refute Richard Dawkins and reach his devotees

Famous anti-Theist Richard Dawkins is behind one of the largest expected gatherings of Atheists in recent times. Dawkins is in an all out attack on God and Christianity. He does not simply want to offer another suggestion-by way of worldview- he believes that the world will be a better place when the ignorance of belief in God is completely eradicated. He is specifically behind ideas that would make being a Christian in society something to be deplored and not embraced.

Apologia has prayerful plans to attend the "Reason Rally" in Washington D.C. at the end of March. We plan on being on location to reach the people in attendance and to film a documentary to equip Christians to reach Atheists and to expose the inherent intellectual poverty of Atheism. We need your help! We are asking out supporters to prayerfully consider helping us with the funds necessary for this very important project. Pastor Luke and I are planning on flying out to D.C. (my old home) and spending several days engaged in evangelism as well as filming professional quality footage to engage Atheism, expose Dawkins agenda and to equip believers with the tools necessary to reach your Atheistic friends and neighbors.

Would you prayerfully consider helping us reach our goal of $1500 to get to D.C. for this very important and historic event? Apologia is a very small ministry that is dependant upon the gracious and loving support of brothers and sisters like you! You can donate immediately by pressing the "donate" tab on the upper right-hand corner of this blog. If you have any questions please contact either Pastor Luke or myself at jeff@defendthefaith.org or luke@defendthefaith.org.

Thank you so much for your support!

On the radio with Atheist Dan Barker

I was recently asked by the guys at Backpack Radio to participate in a broadcast where they would interview well-known Atheist Dan Barker (Freedom from Religion Foundation) about their new-campaign wherein they put up billboards of local Atheists promoting Atheism saying things like: I am a childhood Christian indoctrination survivor. It was an interesting program-- though I would've loved to have had the whole show as a "cross-fire" type of situation. We discuss his personal history as well as his motivation behind the campaign. We also take a segment to respond to the billboard campaign.

Download the audio for this radio program! Dan Barker used to be involved in Christian ministry-- it's not everyday you get to be on the radio with a famous apostate and antagonist to the Christian faith.
