Ron, You have gained many valuable insights into various tough circumstances and it appears to me that the Lord is really using you! Thank you for being such a credible source to your doubters, as well as a huge help to me!

Dr. Ben Shaw’s passion for discipleship through apologetics is apparent simply by the way he invests in his students. He has not only helped me understand the “why” behind my faith, but has also helped me become
a better disciple to those around me.

The ministry of CORE Apologetics saved my faith.
I could not even read the Bible without melting down before going through the
7 Day Journey to Dealing with Doubt course. Ron even continued to help me for two years! I am forever grateful!
