“We need to understand what we believe and why.”
That’s the sentiment of Alex McFarland, director of Christian worldview at North Greenville University. During Christian Worldview Week, held March 19-21, students had the opportunity to learn from renowned apologists about how to understand and defend their faith.
Speakers Frank Turek, Clayton King and Alex McFarland were invited to speak in chapel. The week also featured breakout sessions in the new Craft/Hemphill Center for Evangelism, Missions and Christian Worldview.
Kaitlyn Nealis, a freshman from Landrum, said, “I think it’s important to know how to defend your faith. I liked how [Turek] showed the facts, but Clayton King connected the intellectual part of us with the spiritual side of us. [King] spoke to Christians. People need more than facts; they need love and attention.”
Cayce Hopper, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., said, “It helped me to see that reaching out needs to be more of a priority in my life.”
McFarland said he was pleased with the overall outcome of Christian Worldview Week, especially the fact that 20 people accepted Christ. “We had a great mixture of intellectual content and spiritual challenge,” he said. – NGU
