what is project 3:15?
How often have you heard someone ask or challenge with questions like: How can a good God allow evil? Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
Isn’t faith just an excuse not to think? These are questions that unbelievers and believers often find themselves wrestling with at some point in their lives.
That’s why we need an apologetic that is strong, stable, and engaging in a culture of unbelief.
What is Christian apologetics? It’s not a course on how to apologize but is a word that describes the defense of the Christian faith.
“Apologetics” is the word that the Apostle Peter used when he wrote, “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15)
Project 3:15 is the annual apologetics conference of Main Street Church that seeks to equip Christ-followers to defend and share their Christian faith with confidence and compassion.

Tim Barnett
In a world shaped by social media, viral videos, and competing ideas, many Christians feel unsure about how to respond when their faith is challenged. At Project 3:15, Tim Barnett from Red Pen Logic will help you learn how to become a Red Pen Thinker--someone who knows how to think clearly, evaluate ideas wisely, and respond with both truth and grace.
Throughout the day, you’ll learn how to examine your own thinking first, develop practical skills for evaluating claims about Christianity, and engage conversations with people you disagree with in a way that reflects Christ’s love. You’ll also discover the key character traits that mark a thoughtful follower of Jesus and how those qualities shape both your convictions and your witness.
Whether you’re a student, parent, or leader, you’ll leave with practical tools to strengthen your faith, navigate tough questions, and help others think well about what’s true.
