Diagnosed with VATER/VACTERL syndrome as well as severe dyslexia and short-term memory loss, learning was nearly impossible.

Do you ever wonder how you might best share your faith with others? 

Have you ever been in the position to actually defend your faith?

Lead Pastor Dr. Stephen Pattison from CapCity Church in Frankfort unpacks what all this means and offers us tangible ways to both verbally and practically SHARE & DEFEND our faith.  

Sometimes we may THINK we’re not qualified to share our faith, much less defend why we believe what we believe.
