How do you respond when a friend questions your faith? What do you say when culture challenges what you believe? How can you remain confident in Christ in an increasingly post-Christian world?
Whether you're wrestling with your own doubts, looking for thoughtful answers, or simply wanting to grow in your confidence to share the gospel, you're invited to Apologetics Nights. Each gathering features a nationally respected guest speaker joining live via Zoom, followed by a panel of local pastors, theologians, and apologists who will unpack the topic and answer your questions. Come ready to learn, ask honest questions, and leave better equipped to stand firm in your faith with both conviction and compassion!

2026 Apologetics Conference:
Faithful Witness
October 16–17, 2026
In the spirit of testing the most important ideas, Palm Beach Atlantic University invites you to join our community as we seek the knowledge, wisdom, and transformation that makes life meaningful and the gospel seen as reasonable and desirable.
Apologetics
Clarifying Truth in a World of Questions
We know that God can handle our questions.
Apologetics, rooted in the Greek word “apologia” for defense, is a branch of theology that helps us understand and articulate the truth, goodness, and beauty of Christianity. At Spanish River Church, questions of faith are not ignored or shunned out of fear. Rather, they are accepted and explored as a family to find reasonable answers.
Why Study Apologetics?
We value apologetics because of the Great Commission. Apologetics serves to clear the obstacles that hinder people from coming to Jesus Christ. Essentially, apologetics involves understanding people's reasons and concerns about the gospel and helping them, or ourselves, overcome these objections so that Christ can be known by each one of us.
“But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”
— 1 Peter 3:15-16a
