DEFEND 26
The first Defend Conference gathered believers for a full day of practical apologetics, biblical confidence, and Christ-centered training. It established the tone of the conference and laid the foundation for what comes next.
Clarity. Conviction. Courage.
DEFEND 26 focused on helping believers stand for truth with wisdom, love, and confidence. The day brought together strong speakers, practical teaching, and real-world Christian engagement in a way that served both the mind and the church.
Conference summary
DEFEND 26 was designed as a believer-training conference for Christians who wanted stronger confidence in the truth of the faith and greater readiness for the real questions they face. The day addressed biblical clarity, suffering, witness, worldview engagement, and the spirit in which believers should defend the faith.
