Confident Christianity
The Confident Christianity Training Track is a ten-week interactive course, originally designed by the UK Christian Medical Fellowship and later adapted for ICMDA by Dr Peter Saunders.
The course aims to help you understand the non-Christian mindset and share your faith confidently and articulately in the way the Apostles did it – in understandable language, in a safe place and with the opportunity for discussion. It is a programme which once caught can be taught to others.
It covers such topics as:
- Making a worldview diagnosis
- What makes Christianity unique
- The journey to faith
- Exposing presuppositions
- God’s role and ours in evangelism
- The gospel message
- Apostolic models of sharing it
- Dealing with our fears
- Answering difficult questions
- The best reasons for belief
- Starting with the truth they know
- Avoiding circular arguments
- Dealing with relativism
- The elements of successful evangelism
- The faith decision
We run each course for 8 to 12 people at a time for ICMDA regions and language groups in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Each ten-week course is led by a small group of facilitators coached by the principal trainer Dr Peter Saunders.
The ten-week long training track will involve weekly interactive Zoom sessions. Prior to each session trainees will need to watch two short training videos, read a short article and undertake a short written assignment.
Trainees will need to set aside about two to three hours a week for this track (75-90 minutes virtual meeting, 30 minutes watching the two training videos, 15 minutes reading and 30 minutes writing assignment).
