The word “apologetics” come from the Greek word apologia, which means to give a defense. Apologetics is a branch of Christian theology that focuses on both defending the faith and giving logical reasons for following Christ.

The Apostle Peter wrote,

“but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense [apologia] to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (1 Pet. 3:15)

​

The goal of Confidence in Christ is to build up followers of Christ "so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes" (Eph. 4:14).
