Church Seminars

Would you like to book a free ReThink315 seminar or special event for your church, school, or group? Below are two talks ReThink315’s founder, Jeremy R. Smith, will happily deliver at no cost in person or digitally. It’s our gift to you! Contact us below for details and availability. 

Talk Title 1: ReThink Evangelism and Christian Apologetics
Description: The “Rethink Evangelism and Christian Apologetics” seminar suggests that loving your neighbor generally and evangelism specifically will likely involve answering tough questions, addressing deep doubts, and engaging in apologetics related discussions.Being an evangelist/apologist and doing evangelism/apologetics is inseparable from outreach and discipleship. However, you don’t have to be an acclaimed academic or a skilled debater to love your neighbor and engage in meaningful evangelistic conversations. The “Rethink Evangelism and Christian Apologetics” seminar unpacks and demystifies the terms “evangelism” and “apologetics” and encourages Christians to relate to others not as salespeople, stuffy academics, or adversarial debaters, but as loving neighbors.

Talk Title 2: ReThink Your Personal Testimony
Description: The “Rethink Your Personal Testimony” seminar highlights Jeremy’s unique and unlikely conversion experience and emphasizes the strength of your personal testimony as a type of evidence for the Christian faith. Loving your neighbor, Jeremy suggests, often includes sharing your personal testimony as a precursor to the gospel. However, there are a few pitfalls we Christians need to avoid when sharing our testimony to make sure Jesus is the focus, not us, and to be sure redemption is the promised gift, not a comfortable and easy life.
