Questions?
You are not alone.
Are they painful? Are they factual? We are here to help.
Helping churches, organizations, and individuals use apologetics to overcome unresolved questions of
both the factual and painful variety.
CORE Apologetics leverages the Minimal Facts Approach of Dr. Gary Habermas to help people embrace the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the core event of human history and defines what it means to be "in Christ" and how the gospel shapes Christian thought and life.
A Minimal Facts Ministry
for Disciples and Doubters
CORE Apologetics exists to bring the reality of the resurrection to the center of Christian thought and life by leveraging the Minimal Facts Approach of Dr. Gary Habermas for both disciples of Jesus and those who struggle with religious doubt.
The Minimal Facts Approach has attained a "near-exclusive use in Christian apologetics."
Disciples of all disciplines requires acute attention to the intellectual and spiritual challenges of our culture. CORE Apologetics is equipped to help you navigate these challenges in your church, organization, or personal life. The Minimal Facts Approach (MFA) provides the framework by which these issues can be properly analyzed and engaged for healthy spiritual formation and gospel engagement.
CORE Apologetics represents the next generation who are seeking to use apologetics for discipleship and doubters. The vision of CORE Apologetics is both challenging and encouraging as Ron and Ben take the work we have done and use it to minister to others.

What people are saying about CORE Apologetics...
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!
