what is "ixi academy", and "forge."?
IXI Academy is not just another Christian apologetics organization. IXI stands for "iron sharpens iron", and through our app, "forge.", we equip each christian to defend their faith against a number of worldviews, with gentleness and kindness. It is a complete apologetics training platform designed to serve both accessibility and depth at the highest level. Our content is written in a way that younger learners can understand, while remaining robust enough to provide a serious foundation in apologetics. The result is a rare combination: clear enough for ages 10 and up, yet deep enough to train believers with real confidence in what they believe and why they believe it.
