Have you ever wondered, "How do I contend for the truth without being contentious?" We all want to be kind and courageous, but it becomes increasingly difficult when the world's response is contentious, no matter our demeanor. What must I actually do to keep myself faithful to God while fighting the good fight? And how can telling my story actually become a way to faithfully contend for the truth of God's word? Drs. Troxel and Chatraw have both thought deeply about these questions. We hope you will join us for this excellent event.
