Stand to Reason's vision is to provide the training to build a new generation of confident, courageous, yet winsome and attractive ambassadors for Christ capable of restoring credibility to the Christian world view. Stand to Reason has a strategy (see Schedule O) to change the world God gives us access to. Our plan has five parts (broadcast, publications, internet, self-directed training curricula,and public speaking and seminars), and we are working our plan very intentionally.
Stand to Reason trains Christians to think more clearly about their faith (see Schedule O) and to make an even-handed, incisive, yet gracious defense for classical Christianity and classical Christian values in the public square.
