Great Canadian Giving Challenge

The Great Canadian Giving Challenge is

Running from June 1-30

As our culture continues to shift toward an anti-Christian norm, it is more important than ever to equip Christians with the tools to not only understand but to defend our faith. Over the past decade, FBB has been at the forefront of some of the biggest challenges facing Christianity in Canada. With your help, we can continue to tackle these difficult topics and train more Christians to stand strong in truth!

I enthusiastically support FBB because in Christ we have the Truth, and FBB does vital work helping us bring the Truth to the world.
— FBB DONOR AND BE READY ATTENDEE

THREE New Courses

  • Identity Foundations is in the final stages and almost ready for launch. This course teaches identity to elementary-aged children and has Church, Christian school, and VBS curriculums. (Check it out here)

  • Identity Christ Alone has been written and is our next course to launch after Identity Foundations. This course is a much-needed update to our existing Identity Project and focuses less on secular sources and teaches that our identity is in Christ. This course has been taught as a webinar but will be turned into a small group course with a planned 2024 launch (Stay tuned for more information and launch dates)

  • Worldview 2- Going Deeper has also been written and will launch after Identity Christ Alone. This course was intended to be an update to our flagship Worldview course but quickly turned into a stand-alone course all on its own. WV 2 is a deeper look into the book of Acts and how the early church turned an upside-down world, right side up! (Stay tuned for more information and launch dates)

  • Hosting our apologetics camp for youth, ENGAGE 2024 (more info)

  • Be Ready 2024 - Be Ready to Turn the World Right Side Up. For next year’s conference, we have already confirmed Keynote speaker Abdu Murray for an important conference on making an impact in a culture that seems determined to deny truth and reality (more info)

  • Implementing a comprehensive and strategic social media and TV marketing campaign to increase our reach and train Christians from coast to coast! (email us if you would like to advertise with us)

  • Hiring more speakers/teachers to accommodate the growing demand for training


That is why we are excited to announce that we participating in the Great Canadian Giving Challenge again in 2023!

From June 1 - 30 every dollar donated through Canada Helps will enter FBB to win a $20,000 donation!

Help us make a bold impact today and train an army of believers to vigorously defend the faith in their everyday conversations!!

Ends: March 1st @ 8:30PM (MST)

As a believer, do you understand your purpose from God’s worldview? Christians are often encouraged to think of themselves as “ambassadors for Christ” (II Cor. 5:20), but the question must be asked; What does ambassador mean in a world where even the Saviour’s own people forget he is the King of Kings? For more on this crucial question join the new The Worldview Course - 2.0 - Going Deeper

Come get equipped with Faith Beyond Belief's online Worldview Course 2.0 - Going Deeper webinar. The course runs weekly, every Wednesday starting January 11 , 2023 from 7:00-8:30pm (MST) and ends Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

Worldview Course

Runs: Weekly, every Wednesday
Starting:
September 14th @7:00PM - 8:30PM(MST)
Ends: November 9th @ 8:30PM (MST)
Where: Online

The aim of Faith Beyond Belief’s Worldview Course is to equip Christians to engage in meaningful conversations that challenge others to think about the Christian worldview.

But before we can engage others, we have to get clear ourselves on what we believe and why we believe it–or even just get clear on why it matters!

This is why the Worldview Course starts by discussing the most basic ideas: what is a worldview and why does it matter that we have the right worldview? The course goes on to cover other essential topics that every Christian ambassador needs to understand in order to be equipped to represent Christ well in our confused, and often hostile, culture.

Identity Project 2.0 - Fall 2022

Runs: Weekly, every Tuesday
Starting:
Tuesday, Sept 13th @ 7:00PM (MST)
Ends: Tuesday, Nov. 29th @ 8:30 PM (MST)
Where: Online - Zoom

IP 2.0 is first and foremost an exploration of Identity from a Christian perspective. Students will develop a biblical foundation to understand gender and sexuality through this lens. The conclusion will be that for Christians, Identity is first and foremost found in Jesus.

Each session will explore a topic around identity, gender and sexuality. This will include Scripture and biblical answers to our most profound questions concerning identity. We will begin with the concept of identity and that when humanity lost its core identity in God, an endless fruitless quest for a replacement began. From here, we will explore our culture's natural inclination to find identity in sex, orientation, gender, desire, relationships and more. These identities cannot fulfill our deep longing for something more. Finally, we will discuss identity in Christ and how it is the only way to fulfill our deepest longings for meaning and relationship.

For ages 13+

The Story Of Reality!

"Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It’s more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching. Christianity is a picture of reality."

Each member of the FBB Book Club will be required to pick up a hard copy of the book in question. The members are encouraged to underline and mark up their books for future reference. This is an online meeting so each member will have to provide their own computer and WIFI connection.

There will be a series of questions sent by e-mail on the Monday before the Thursday meeting and it is expected that the chapter in focus will be read and the questions pertaining to it will be answered before the meeting so as to carry the discussion.

Can God still be with us at Christmas?

Canadian culture has embraced more than just material celebrations of Christmas. It’s increasingly embraced a secular moral standard for what Christmas is, embracing a spirit of giving, peace, and of course, love but all without Jesus. In our next Everyday Conversations Live Podcast, we’ll hear from Christian apologist and Ph.D. student, Logan Gates from Ontario. We’ll discuss how we can remind ourselves while showing others, that Christmas is all about Immanuel, God being with us. Join us Wednesday, Dec 8th at 5 PM MT.

Join Faith Beyond Belief's Amy Beange as we explore how to do these very things – we will cover evangelism in the early church, turning ordinary topics toward spiritual matters, asking questions that will prompt deeper thought, managing conversations with people who are aggressive or who simply know more than we do, and evaluating conversations so we can improve.

Classes will run weekly on Wednesdays from April 14 - June 30 at 6:30 PM MT. Classes run for 1 hour with Q & A

Be Ready Pre Conference Event - Conversations that Saved My Life

As Alberta cities ban “conversion therapy,” FBB’s executive director Jojo Ruba says they are also banning counseling that Christians and others want. He says these bans make no distinction between coercive counseling and counseling consented to by patients. Ruba says these life-saving conversations are worth protecting both from a pastoral perspective and from personal experience. For the first time in public, Ruba will walk through three kinds of conversations that helped him deal with the issues of sexuality and gender in his own life, and show how God uses everyday conversations to save lives.

Registration opening soon for May 19 - 22 11 AM class (No class on Victoria Day) 
When you read the book of Acts, you begin to realize just how much we're like the early church. Yet God took those those ordinary people to transform the Roman Empire and human history. Join Faith Beyond Belief as we examine the conversation skills Jesus modeled and then trained His disciples in so that they could engage the culture. We'll discuss the basic assumptions we make in conversations, the questions we should ask and effective responses to challenges brought to us. More importantly, we'll look at how Jesus saw success in conversations - and how that doesn't always mean being liked by others. By the end of these sessions you'll begin to understand how much God can use us and our ordinary conversations to change the world.
