The Carpenter's Desk

Our Vision

The Carpenter’s Desk is driven by a two-fold vision: firstly, to equip the Church to ably defend, live out, and articulate the Christian worldview, and secondly, to influence the public square by the transforming message of the Gospel.

Equipping the Church

In Hosea 4:6, we read, ”My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge”. This truth can be mapped to our churches today, where many Christians are on an emotional roller-coaster ride, and not caring enough to cater to the intellect. Our endeavour is to nurture a rational faith, especially among the young, and to train them in evidence-based Christianity.

Evangelism

The apostle Peter urges us in his first letter (3:15) to “be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have”. In the context of 21st century evangelism, the need for biblical apologetics is greater than ever. We look forward to host events in the city and beyond, with the sole agenda of gaining souls for the Kingdom of God, through the art of apologetics. In this, we draw inspiration from Paul's words in II Corinthians 10:5, “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.”

Det. J. Warner Wallace on Christ's Transcultural Impact

Here's an excerpt from our recent interview with prominent cold-case detective and author, J. Warner Wallace.

He notes an interesting, distinctive element about Christ in terms of his popularity and influence across the religious spectrum. Unlike any other figure in history, Jesus has penetrated geographies and cultures to an extent that both the religions predate him, as well as those that emerge in the Common Era, have tried to co-opt him into their systems.
