Apologetic Evangelism
What is Apologetic Evangelism
Apologetic Evangelism was created to give everyone a singular place to find answers to all of their questions and concerns surrounding Christianity, The Bible and Jesus Christ. As we say, come as your are to find God and stay for eternal life.
My Mission
My missions is to bring a singular, easily accessible source that people from all over the world can access. The goal is to be all encompassing, answering the world’s questions in regards to God, Jesus, Christianity, The Holy Spirit and The Bible.
My vision is to see more and more people come to Christ but also to grow in God. We want Christians to gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the Word of God. So that they are more readily equipped with the knowledge and understanding of Christianity, God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and as well as other religions.
My Vision
Paul’s Sufferings as an Apostle
16 I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17 What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would but as a fool. 18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast. 19 For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves! 20 For you bear it if someone makes slaves of you, or devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face. 21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that!
But whatever anyone else dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they offspring of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 32 At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to seize me, 33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.
My Boast (as a fool) in what the Lord as done.

I tell you all of these things, not to brag about who I was or what I did, but to bring light to the fact that Jesus does not choose the qualified. He qualifies those whom he chooses.
- I have challenged God / Jesus 3 times in my life.
1) I was at one of the largest FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) camp and there was a guest speaker who was an former NFL Wide Receiver. He probably talked about his testimony but I honestly don’t remember anything he said. What I do remember is that at the end of service they did your normal, “If there is anyone who needs me to pray for them, over them or just simply wants to get to know God better, come forward.” – You know the call to the altar. If you’ve ever been to church you know this is literally done at the end of EVERY service. Anyways, I was tired and this guy just keeps going on and on and on. Saying things like, “There’s still someone here who needs prayer and we aren’t going to close service until you come forward.” – In my head I’m laughing like this is crazy bro. Yet the Ex NFL Wide Receiver persists and keeps saying things like, “Someone is doubting God and he knows who you are.” – Again I’m like, “Yeah right, but fine I’ll bite, God if you want me to go up to the altar, then you’ll have to make me.” – I kid you not! Not 5 seconds after I say this words in my head, the NFL Player says, “YOU!” and points directly at me. Mind you I’m in the very back row behind very large football players. The example I give is that the crowd parted like the red sea and he was pointing directly at me and called me to the front. He then prayed over me but I was literally called out by God.
2) When I was in high school my friend told me a story about sleep paralyses, I thought it would be cool to experience something like that so I asked / challenged God to show or let it happen to me and he did just that. One night I woke up and I tried to sit up but I couldn’t move, I tried to move my arms but they were pinned to the bed as if someone were sitting on top of them. I tried to call out for my parents but I couldn’t speak. I then tried to say the name Jesus hoping this would make the demon flee but I could not say his name. I then remembered what my friend said and I just started thinking of his name in my head. I kept saying, “Jesus” “Jesus” “Jesus” in my head over and over again until I shout up out of my bed screaming his name.
3) Unfortunately the 2 previous challenges weren’t enough for me as I was still young. So as I got older and had neared the end of my research I was to a point where I still did not understand God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit or really any of it. I felt as though I had done all the necessary research but I still FELT NOTHING. How on Earth could I put my entire faith into a religion that makes me feel nothing? So I of course challenged God again. I do not recommended doing challenging God but God knows your heart, he knows your intentions and I told God that I was willing to put my entire life into him and devote everything to him but I couldn’t do it unless he could do something to let me know he was real, show me something, show me demons and angels, ANYTHING! The very next day he sent me something that I will never forget and since that day my life has not been the same. I can now tangibly feel the Holy Spirit in me. It is the greatest gift I have ever received.
Additional History on My Testimony and How God Delivered Me From Evil
- My brother and I fought all the time. Countless times he was bigger than me and always won because I didn’t fight back, but the day I did fight back and swing on him, the dynamic change and our fighting stopped almost overnight.
- When I was in school I stuck up for kids who got picked on and bullied. I would insert myself between them and I would tell the bully to pick on and fight me. This of course lead to more fights.
- I committed credit card fraud when I was in elementary/middle school.
- I became addicted to porn around the same time.
- I also started stealing when I was in middle school and that did not stop until after high-school. (statue of limitations is 4 years)
- I committed Grand Theft Auto at 15 years old (and no I don’t mean the video game, statue of limitations is 4-7 years)
- I lost my virginity at 15 years old.
- I joined a gang at the age of 16 years old.
- I started selling weed (with a statue of limitations of up-to 7 years)

If God can deliver me from such evils and turn me into who I am today, then he can work wonders and miracles in your life too. God does not care about your past, he cares about your future.
