CHRIST CENTERED
Grounded in Truth H igh school juniors and seniors in the required course Biblical Worldview are tasked with engaging a non- Christian in a conversation about faith. For students like Jake Hennessy '24, the assignment is exciting because it puts them in a spot where they must use the skills learned in Apologetics when defending their faith. Jake met with a family friend, a professed atheist and activist for atheism, to fulfill the assignment's requirements. Jake’s mother recalls the assignment, reflecting, “Am I throwing Jake to the lion’s den? And then I remembered, ‘He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world.’” Jake prepared evidence and arguments to support the Truth, knowing he would receive a lot of pushback, but his mother shared confidently, “Jake had been trained up by Legacy so that he could face the challenge of this conversation.” He prepared questions like, ‘If there is no God, can goodness exist?’ and ‘How did everything start?’ Jake shared that he prayed for strength and guidance before the conversation, and he experienced both. He felt confident and grounded in God’s Truth. My prayer was that this meeting was not just for his class, but showed Jake that he has what it takes in him to speak God’s Truth in a loving, caring, and respectful way that can turn the hardest heart.
