International Commission's E&E Training presents "Tactics: How to Graciously Share your Christian Convictions" featuring Jonathan Noyse with Stand to Reason. Jonathan spent most of his life as an atheist strongly arguing against the existence of God. It wasn't until his late 20's when he examined the evidence for Christianity that he realized Jesus is who He says He is and he surrendered his life to Christ. Since then, Jon has had a passion for training other Christians how to think more clearly about what they believe and why, and how to communicate things of faith to people around them effectively.
In this training you will learn:
-What the two biblical roles are in leading someone to Christ.
-The two most effective questions or "Tactics" you can use when you find yourself in the hot seat of a spiritual conversation.
-How to respond to a difficult faith question you don't know the answer to.
For more info: This training is based on the principles found in the book "Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions" by Gregory Koukl @STRvideos
