Young people are leaving Christianity at an unprecedented rate. In this course, Tim Barnett explains how believers can better understand, relate to, equip, and train our youth. This course looks at why young people are disengaging from the church and encourages Christians to respond with reasonable explanations to challenges and to develop authentic relationships with people.

There is perhaps no other claim found in Scripture that’s met with more resistance and scorn from contemporary culture than the exclusive claim “Jesus is the only way.” The world around us says this claim is narrow-minded. It violates the widely accepted principle that all roads lead to heaven. It's offensive! But the question isn’t “Is it offensive?” The question is “Is it true?" In this course, we'll explore that question and many more.

This five-session course explores whether the Gospels are reliable, historically grounded accounts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. We’ll examine the evidence behind the New Testament, evaluate the credibility of its authors, and consider textual integrity and outside corroboration. Along the way, we’ll respond to common objections and provide tools to engage skeptics with clarity. As Jon Noyes notes, undermining the Gospels would unravel Christianity—making this investigation vital for both believers and skeptics. More than history, this course invites you to think critically and faithfully about life’s biggest question: Can we trust what the Gospels say about Jesus?

"All Scientists Should Be Militant Atheists." That was the headline in The New Yorker a few years ago. The article claimed that science "draws people away from religion." Many people have bought into this idea. But is this true? Are science and faith incompatible? In this course, Tim Barnett explores how a proper understanding of faith and science are completely compatible. Moreover, it was the Christian convictions of the founders of modern science that led to the birth of modern science. Finally, Tim gives an example of how studying the natural world can draw you to God and strengthen your faith in Him.
