This class will focus on practical methods of learning to discuss, debate, Biblically argue and persuade people to the truth as Jesus did. This is an exciting way to learn how to get our world to think, and challenge themselves, but will require the student to first learn how to think for themselves and challenge themselves and what they think they believe.
