Is God Good For You? Panel of expert apologists will answer this question at Onward conference

​If God is so good...

why are Christians so bad?
why does he condemn people to hell?
why is he so against our sexual freedom?

Is God good for you?

​God calls us to live as ambassadors in the world. It can be tough when we are surrounded by objections to our faith.

​Join us as at Onward 19 this June as our panel of internationally renowned apologists Dan Paterson, Mary Jo Sharp and Wassim Sabry equip us to answer these difficult questions with love and truth.

Meet Onward Speakers
​

DAN PATERSON
​
For Dan, childhood family tragedies caused a series of barriers to belief in God. Could a God who allows evil, suffering and pain in the world still be good? Through an investigation of Jesus and his response to suffering, Dan was moved to find a life of faith. Dan is a pastor and international speaker with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries.
