What Does ReThink315 Mean?
In short, we help pastors, parents, and educators to ReThink their approach to interpreting and applying, everyone’s favorite “apologetics proof text”, 1 Peter 3:15, especially in terms of how we are reaching, training, and retaining our young people. Read more about that here.
Our Mission:
To increase the number of Christians clearly and confidently sharing the gospel and to reduce the number of professing Christians, particularly our young people, leaving the church due to unanswered (or poorly answered) questions.
Our Vision:
We envision a world where more churches and individual believers are creating space for better conversations, offering better answers to difficult questions, and are engaging non-Christians and struggling Christians with gentleness and respect.
Our Values:
We value live and in person apologetics, evangelism, and outreach focused efforts that take seriously 1 Peter 3:15 in its entirety and we value pastors, parents, and educators who lead the charge. As a denominationally diverse group of Christian authors, professors, pastors, and apologists, we also value unity in essentials, liberty in nonessentials, and charity in everything.

"The mission of the church is clear: go and make disciples. We need to raise up a new generation of disciples who not only heed Christ’s call, but can do so with truth and love in a world that is desperate for both. And that’s why we need more organizations like ReThink315."
