Track 1 · Start here
Foundations: own your faith
Start here. Eight taught lessons ground you in love for Muslim neighbors, the gospel itself, the Bible's big story, who Jesus is, why the cross was necessary, the Trinity, prayer, and a simple testimony you can actually share.

Islam 101: understand what Muslims actually believe
Strong Christian engagement starts with knowing what Muslims read on Friday — and how they live the rest of the week. Nine short lessons walk you through the Qurʼān, Muhammad, ḥadīth, ʿĪsā, taḥrīf, the cross, salvation, and what Islam looks like as a lived religion. Each is anchored in primary sources, each one preparing you to listen well before you speak.

Witness: engage with love and grace
The goal is not to win an argument. It is to love your Muslim neighbor and bear witness to Jesus faithfully. Seven lessons walk you from your first coffee through the hardest Christian-Muslim disagreements and into the hinge that bears fruit — actually opening the Gospel with your friend. Each is paired with a roleplay you can rep in the practice trainer.
7 lessons- Witness is essential. The next two tracks (Core Apologetics and Examine Islamic Claims) can be taken in either order, based on the conversations you face.
Track 4 · After Islam 101
Core Apologetics: defend the truth of Christianity
Defend Christianity's central claims with primary sources and a steady tone. Eight core lessons covering the deity of Jesus, the Trinity, the cross, the resurrection, prophetic fulfillment, biblical reliability, the problem of evil, and exclusivity. Deeper material — minimal-facts resurrection, manuscript transmission, the moral argument, comparative monotheism — lives in Advanced Apologetics.

Examine Islamic Claims: weigh what Islam teaches
Weigh Islamic claims with primary sources and a steady tone. Eight core lessons walking the strongest Christian challenges — the Islamic dilemma, did Muhammad confirm the Bible, the Paraclete, Q 4:157, the Qurʼānic Trinity, iʿjāz, the illiterate prophet, and Muhammad's biography. Deeper material — hadith reliability, naskh, Sharia in detail, failed prophecies, comparative ethics, 'Muhammad in the Bible' rebuttals — lives in Examine Islamic Claims in Depth.

Advanced Apologetics: depth on the Christian case
Six deeper apologetics lessons for users who want to engage at the level of working scholarship. Habermas's minimal-facts resurrection case; NT manuscript transmission with the actual textual-critical literature; the hardest Old Testament texts; philosophical defenses of the Trinity; the moral argument; and comparative monotheism on the question 'Was God always loving?' Best done after Core Apologetics.

Examine Islamic Claims in Depth: hadith, sources, and history
Six deeper lessons that go past the core. Hadith reliability with the actual classical and revisionist scholarship; abrogation (naskh) and what it implies; Sharia in detail across the four Sunni schools and modern reformers; failed Qurʼānic prophecies and historical errors; comparative ethics of Jesus and Muhammad from primary sources; and contextual rebuttals of the 'Muhammad in the Bible' claims. Best done after the core Examine Islamic Claims track.
