— ONLINE APOLOGETICS WORKSHOP WITH PATRICK MADRID —

Announcing...

THE NEXT TIME A SINCERE if misguided non-Catholic challenges you with tough questions about your Catholic beliefs, will you be ready with good answers? You will, by preparing yourself in the art of apologetics (i.e. defending the Faith). 

In this introductory apologetics workshop (additional, specialized workshops will follow), veteran Catholic apologist, debater, Envoy Magazine publisher, EWTN television personality, and best-selling author Patrick Madrid will teach you the basics of practical apologetics — the do’s and don’ts, its strengths and weaknesses, and how you can engage in apologetics in a friendly, disarming, and effective way.

For the last 17 years, working in the field of apologetics, Patrick has seen first-hand what works and what doesn’t, and now he’ll show you how to become an effective apologist. 

His time-tested, proven methodology of sharing and defending the Faith has been praised by cardinals, bishops, priests, and DREs. For example, Cardinal Edward Egan, Archbishop of New York, recently wrote: “How do you bring a friend or relative back into the Church? First you pray. Then, you follow Patrick Madrid's advice in [his book] Search and Rescue.” 
Did you ever wish you could sit down with a well-known author/expert and ask the questions that matter most to you?

Did you ever wish you could have your own, personal, expert to bring his or her wisdom to bear on your unique life and circumstances? 

Did you ever want to develop a friendship with someone who could really understand your heart and your goals and help you get to where you want to go? 

Thanks to Heart Mind & Strength University for Living, now you can! 

Patrick will show you the secrets and techniques used by today’s most successful apologists (and the great Catholic apologists of previous generations) so you will be able to explain your Catholic beliefs more intelligently, defend them more charitably, and share them more effectively with your friends, family, and co-workers. 

This introductory workshop will show you the “how” of doing apologetics, leading you through the different types of apologetics, explaining what ingredients make an apologetics response super-effective, and what simple, common mistakes can doom your efforts to failure.

Using specific, real-world examples and scenarios, Patrick will explain how to approach an apologetics challenge in a systematic way that will ensure that you’ll explain your Catholic beliefs as clearly and accurately as possible. 

In this introductory apologetics workshop, Patrick will begin showing you how! But hurry! Class size is limited to just sixteen people, and this new apologetics workshop, just recently announced, is already filling up fast. Click here to enroll!

Part retreat, part seminar, part small faith group, HMSU does not offer a typical course room experience. Rather, we offer an online coaching experience that will empower you not only to become a more knowledgeable person, but primarily to become a better person. 

While HMSU can offer many different learning settings (from brief seminars to extended programs) our primary course model employs a six-week, small group format. Class size is strictly limited to ensure personal attention from your Instructor/Mentor, as well as to afford plenty of opportunity to interact with other learners.

HMSU Instructor/Mentors are all published authors/noted experts in their field. Each Instructor/Mentor works to help you apply your faith to the tough questions, difficult relationships, and trying circumstances that challenge you and make you feel stuck, lost, or just plain confused. Life application of the faith is what HMSU is all about.

As an added bonus, in order to enable you to get the most benefit from your learning experience, some classes will allow your spouse to audit the course free of charge! (This benefit does not apply to all courses. Please note course descriptions for this option.) For more information, please review the FAQ Section of this site.

Many have developed international reputations for their important and insightful work. Workshops are being offered by some of today's leading lay-Catholic writers, authors, and speakers, including Mary Beth Bonacci, Al Kresta, Greg & Lisa Popcak, Patrick Madrid, and Christopher West.
