Launching Apologetics at Bayside Church
In this episode of the Table Podcast, I sat down with my friend Dena Davidson to talk about running apologetics events and helping your church explore faith questions. Dena is the Campus Life Director of Thrive School and runs the Thrive Apologetics Conference at Bayside Church which attracts over 3000 people. She is a fellow graduate of the M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University and just a wonderful person to know.
We talk about how she got into apologetics ministry, what that looks like at Bayside, and practical advice for getting apologetics into your church—even if you’re not on the paid staff. You can help you church explore faith questions, too!
