“Gave a lot of perspective. To me the moral argument is the hardest to get my head around and understand, and to try to explain to people. The only critique I have is that it wasn't simple enough for me, more examples needed.”

“Dear Frank, Thank you so much for offering this in-depth course on the Essentials of the Faith. It has impacted me in ways I could not have imagined when I first signed up for this course. I listen to your podcasts and have read all your books. I have also taken a couple other courses from ReasonU and look forward to taking more in the future. But, this course on the essentials has impacted my life far more than any of the books and podcasts I have listened to. While I enjoy listening to your podcasts, I have also followed many of your colleagues on radio for quite some time and have learned so much about defending my faith and articulating it in such a way that is impactful on those I come in contact with that are otherwise hostile or apathetic to Christianity. After taking this course I feel that I am ready to make an impact for Christ through education in my community. I want to use my spiritual gifts in teaching to reach our young generations to make the next big impact in our communities and around the world. Thank you, ReasonU for all you do!”

“It was a joy taking this course. I, personally, took advantage of the self-paced course due to time constraints and was able to absorb more detail this way without being stressed due to a time factor. With that said, however, I would have loved to have been able to ask Dr. Turek questions via live chat through the premium course. Maybe next time. I highly recommend this course to EVERY Christian. No matter where your walk is in the faith.”
