Want to defend your faith but not sure where to start — or how to do it without burning bridges? Stand to Reason's free app puts one of the most respected apologetics ministries in your pocket, giving you on-demand access to decades of training in how to think clearly about Christianity and engage others with both conviction and kindness.^1
Founded in 1993 by Greg Koukl — author of the bestselling book Tactics and adjunct professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University — Stand to Reason has spent over 30 years teaching Christians not just what to think, but how to think.^2 The app delivers Greg's weekly radio and video podcasts, STR's daily blog, featured articles, Solid Ground publications, and mentoring letters — all organized for easy browsing on iOS and Android.^1
What makes STR distinctive is its emphasis on the ambassador model: knowledge, wisdom, and character working together. Rather than winning arguments, STR trains believers to ask good questions, listen well, and present the Christian worldview graciously in conversations at home, work, or the university.^3 Their tagline captures it: "Confidence for every Christian. Clear thinking for every challenge. Courage and grace for every encounter."
Beyond the app, STR offers STR University — a completely free online training program with interactive courses on apologetics, the reliability of the Gospels, science and faith, and more.^4 They also host Reality Apologetics Conferences nationwide to train students and church leaders in person.^5
