“Excellent course. Well planned, and paced just right. This course is designed so that anyone can take it and keep up with the material. Turek is a professional speaker. He is clear, concise and to the point. He has great supporting material, and if one uses the supporting material as they work through the daily and weekly lessons, one will walk away from this course greatly blessed. I would recommend this course to Christians, new and old, and also non-Christians. In fact, it is so clear concerning General and Special Revelations that even the most Biblically uneducated will be able to follow the essentials of the Christian Faith.”

“The course work along with the classroom interaction via Zoom technology was more than inspiring. Dr. Turek facilitated our Zoom sessions and gave additional insight to many question related and unrelated to the course work. Dr. Turek has a very unique gift from God of mixing Grace with Truth. I never felt intimidated to ask questions and knew that if I disagreed with Dr. Turek he would lead me towards evidence with a clean heart. The course work is what you put into it. Some weeks I put 20 hours in and some weeks 4. My mind is stretched and I have the desire for more! Thank you cross examined.”

Imagine that you get lost way out in the forest and your only hope of getting out alive is to follow direction from a magnetic compass. But instead of the compass pointing to magnetic north, the compass always points to you. How helpful would that compass be? Not at all!

Why then do so many of us live as if life’s compass points to us? Do we get to decide what life’s purpose is and how to live it? Or, is there an objective purpose to life and a right way to live it?

Join Dr. Frank Turek as he highlights God’s purposes for our lives and the essentials truths of Christianity. In this 17-part series, you’ll get practical answers to these and other important questions:

  • Why is the Resurrection so important?

  • What is faith and why doe God want it?

  • How do we interpret the Bible?
