Ambassador Training 1: Relativism, Pluralism & Scientism

We're called to be Ambassador's for Christ (2 Cor 5:20) but how can we do that well if we don't know how to respond to the most common objections that the world has? In Round #1 of Ambassador Training, we'll look at each of the following objections to Christianity: Relativism - "There is no such thing as absolute truth. You have yours and I have mine." Pluralism - "All paths lead to God, there is more than one correct way." Scientism - "Only science yields truth; religion is merely a matter of opinion."

Video
Men’s Alliance

Entrepreneur and stay-at-home mom Megan Schlensker shares her inspiration for starting her business, Three Pillars Wear. The turning point came during the 2020 lockdown when she became concerned about the deconstruction of fundamental concepts like faith, family, and freedom. Megan believes these pillars are essential for individuals and society to thrive and have become the cornerstone of her business. She also discusses the importance of preserving Christian values in America and the erosion of these values in modern society. Megan offers advice to Christian wives, encouraging them to live their faith conspicuously, be there for their children, and trust in God's guidance. She also emphasizes the importance of prayer, reading scriptures, and women being united with their husbands. Megan also shares her experiences dealing with opposing views in the public school system and the importance of teaching children to be a light in the world. She emphasizes the significance of the balance between a husband and a wife, a mother and a father, and the importance of allowing children to make mistakes and learn independence. Megan also discusses the challenges men face in understanding and navigating relationships and the importance of preserving Christian values in America.
