Description</h6>		\n		<p>Taught and refined at the church, college and seminary level since 2001, the Unbreakable Faith course explains the infinite excellence of God’s perfections, exposes unbelief as irrational and unscientific blind faith, and demonstrates the impossibility of life and the universe without God. Building a comprehensive, intellectually defensible, and God-honoring worldview, Unbreakable Faith boosts joy, comfort, and faith in Christ and Scripture in the face of the most sophisticated attacks of unbelief.</p>		\n			<h2>Part One: Introduction\n</h2>		\n			<style>/*! elementor - v3.11.3 - 07-03-2023 */\n.elementor-widget-image-box .elementor-image-box-content{width:100%}@media

Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 09:51:01','2023-03-09 09:51:01','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13847',0,'revision','',0),(13848,1,'2023-03-09 09:58:32','2023-03-09 09:58:32','<style>/*!

Unbreakable Faith online apologetics course, and I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim. It has also been enriching and refreshing to us to listen in on the course, as it articulates the beauties and consistencies of what we believe. This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes. Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence. I highly recommend this course!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Kristin Stiles</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling mother and youth group leader, Souderton, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-17.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Our youth group has benefited immensely through Dr. Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith series through a weekend seminar format on two occasions. We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 09:58:32','2023-03-09 09:58:32','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13848',0,'revision','',0),(13849,1,'2023-03-09 09:58:32','2023-03-09 09:58:32','<style>/*!

Unbreakable Faith online apologetics course, and I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim. It has also been enriching and refreshing to us to listen in on the course, as it articulates the beauties and consistencies of what we believe. This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes. Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 09:58:32','2023-03-09 09:58:32','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13849',0,'revision','',0),(13850,1,'2023-03-09 09:58:33','2023-03-09 09:58:33','<style>/*!

Unbreakable Faith online apologetics course, and I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim.

This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes. Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 09:58:33','2023-03-09 09:58:33','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13850',0,'revision','',0),(13851,1,'2023-03-09 10:00:06','2023-03-09 10:00:06','<style>/*!

Unbreakable Faith online apologetics course, and I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:00:06','2023-03-09 10:00:06','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13851',0,'revision','',0),(13852,1,'2023-03-09 10:00:07','2023-03-09 10:00:07','<style>/*!

Unbreakable Faith online apologetics course, and I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:00:07','2023-03-09 10:00:07','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13852',0,'revision','',0),(13853,1,'2023-03-09 10:00:08','2023-03-09 10:00:08','<style>/*!

I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->\n					            <!-- Add Arrows -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:00:08','2023-03-09 10:00:08','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13853',0,'revision','',0),(13854,1,'2023-03-09 10:01:35','2023-03-09 10:01:35','<style>/*!

I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim. It has also been enriching and refreshing to us to listen in on the course, as it articulates the beauties and consistencies of what we believe. This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes. Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence. I highly recommend this course!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Kristin Stiles</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling mother and youth group leader, Souderton, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-17.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Our youth group has benefited immensely through Dr. Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith series through a weekend seminar format on two occasions. We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->\n					            <!-- Add Arrows -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:01:35','2023-03-09 10:01:35','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13854',0,'revision','',0),(13855,1,'2023-03-09 10:01:35','2023-03-09 10:01:35','<style>/*!

I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim. It has also been enriching and refreshing to us to listen in on the course, as it articulates the beauties and consistencies of what we believe. This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes. Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence. I highly recommend this course!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Kristin Stiles</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling mother and youth group leader, Souderton, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-17.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Our youth group has benefited immensely through Dr. Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith series through a weekend seminar format on two occasions. We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->\n					            <!-- Add Arrows -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:01:35','2023-03-09 10:01:35','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13855',0,'revision','',0),(13856,1,'2023-03-09 10:01:36','2023-03-09 10:01:36','<style>/*!

I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim. It has also been enriching and refreshing to us to listen in on the course, as it articulates the beauties and consistencies of what we believe. This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes. Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence. I highly recommend this course!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Kristin Stiles</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling mother and youth group leader, Souderton, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-17.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Our youth group has benefited immensely through Dr. Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith series through a weekend seminar format on two occasions. We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->\n					            <!-- Add Arrows -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:01:36','2023-03-09 10:01:36','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13856',0,'revision','',0),(13858,1,'2023-03-09 10:05:08','2023-03-09 10:05:08','<style>/*!

I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture. We and our (then teenage) daughter profited greatly from Dr. Biehl’s courses and recommend them to anyone who is seeking solid ground for an intelligent, biblical faith.</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Sam and Mary Lou Hardman</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Huntingdon Valley, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-15.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>As homeschooling parents, Unbreakable Faith is a great resource to assist us as we help our teenaged children become grounded in the faith that they claim.

This is a wonderful course for Christians of all ages, and we highly recommend it!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >John and Joan Douglass</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling parents and church elder, Puyallup, WA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-16.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>I highly recommend Craig Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith course for pastors desiring to strengthen the faith of their congregation with life-changing principles drawn from the infinite excellence of God’s attributes.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence.

We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->\n					            <!-- Add Arrows -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:05:08','2023-03-09 10:05:08','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13858',0,'revision','',0),(13859,1,'2023-03-09 10:05:09','2023-03-09 10:05:09','<style>/*!

I’m learning so much. I’d never taken one of these classes before, but I’m glad I am now. Raising children in a time where “unbelief is popular” (to quote the course) is daunting. Being able to explain the reasons behind what I believe will help me give my children a solid foundation.   Read more at www.mylittlerobins.com</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Leah Martin</p>\n        <p>www.mylittlerobins.com – Christian blogging stay-at-home-mom and former teacher, Littleton, CO</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-12.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>We had the joyful privilege of sitting under instruction from our brother Craig Biehl on several occasions. His series on Christian Apologetics in which he builds a sound defense of the faith on the attributes of God is masterfully done. It is a delightful experience for the interested student. Your life will be enriched from this course and you will be much more prepared to defend the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I would recommend this course to any believer and would encourage home schooling parents to seriously consider this course for their teens!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >—Boyd Personett</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Reformed Baptist Church of Franconia, Franconia, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-13.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Although my children are still in the elementary grades, I am so thankful for Dr. Biehl’s indispensable resources that will someday help prepare them as they encounter Biblical worldview skeptics and disbelievers. Sitting under Craig’s teaching has also helped me as a parent to more accurately teach and mold a foundation in the Lord. Dr. Biehl’s insights and presentation of sound, methodical reasoning disarms the typical attacks on the Bible from our popular culture. <em>Unbreakable Faith </em>is a must for any Christian in today’s world!</p><p> </p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Tami Perrin, Homeschooling mother and the CHAP</p>\n        <p>Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania) 2014 Convention Coordinator, Hatfield, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-14.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Dr. Biehl exposes the faulty presuppositions of unbelief, shows how they lead to absurdity, and offers a far more compelling foundation built on God’s perfections as revealed in Scripture.

Teaching the course in our Adult Bible Fellowship, Dr. Biehl thoroughly challenged our people to live anchored to the Scriptures as the clear revelation of the authority, truth, and knowledge of our infinite Creator.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Dr. Glenn Jago</p>\n        <p>Pastor, Church of the Open Door, Ft.

More than that, however, I want them to have the solid footing of a reasoned faith which Unbreakable Faith teaches so that they know why they hold a Biblical worldview, and so they can walk with Christ in boldness and confidence. I highly recommend this course!</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Kristin Stiles</p>\n        <p>Homeschooling mother and youth group leader, Souderton, PA</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-17.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n										<p>Our youth group has benefited immensely through Dr. Biehl’s Unbreakable Faith series through a weekend seminar format on two occasions. We first hosted Dr. Biehl in 2012 and were eager to have him return again in 2015. Dr. Biehl effectively builds the foundation of knowing/defending truth on the infinite excellencies, perfections, and character of God. The content was presented in a very personal way that magnified Christ and drew in the attention of our youth. What an incredibly refreshing approach to apologetics which assists in the vital equipping of our young men and women as they prepare for the attacks they will face in the Universities and the workforce. A weekend seminar format of this study is perfect for High School and College age groups and wets the appetite to dive deeper in the knowing and savoring the infinite excellencies of Christ.</p>        <p  style=\"display: block; float: none;\" >Chris Splawn</p>\n        <p>Youth Minister, Believer’s Chapel, Dallas, TX</p>\n			            <figure>\n                <img src=\"https://stage.pilgrimsrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Capture-18.png\" alt=\"\">\n            </figure>\n				            <!-- Add Pagination -->\n					            <!-- Add Arrows -->','Unbreakable Faith','','inherit','closed','closed','','13-revision-v1','','','2023-03-09 10:05:09','2023-03-09 10:05:09','',13,'https://pilgrimsrock.com.workshopanswer.com/?p=13859',0,'revision','',0),
