Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? Can we prove that God exists? Everyone asks these questions, and maybe you think you have the answers. But can you defend your beliefs when peers and professors are challenging your worldview? (What is a worldview, anyway?)
In TrueU-1: Does God Exist? Can we prove the existence of God, or are we left to grapple in the dark and take blind leaps of faith about what we believe? Dr. Stephen Meyer plays a sort of "philosophical survival" game pitting four worldviews against one another in the quest to decide which one gives the best answers. Dr. Meyer helps you examine the evidence and provides the tools needed to defend your faith and make it your own.
In TrueU-2: Is the Bible Reliable? Dr. Stephen Meyer challenges students to examine the historical and archaeological evidence to determine for themselves the veracity and accuracy of Scripture.

About the TrueU Series:
Why are so many Christian teens walking away from their faith during the college years? Focus on the Family's TrueU video curriculum offers an introduction to apologetics (a defense of belief in God) that aims to help reverse this trend. Featuring Christian worldview experts like Dr. Del Tackett, Dr. Stephen Meyer, Lee Strobel, Dr. Gary Habermas, and more - the series equips students to stand up for their beliefs in the face of a culture that tells them their faith is absurd, obsolete, and impractical.
