Main Session: Allen Parr - 7 Reasons Why Christianity is True

Breakout Sessions #1

  • TBD - Elizabeth Urbanowicz

  • How To Debunk Islam - Michael Jones (Inspiring Philosophy)

  • Core Facts - Dr. Braxton Hunter
    What Does It Mean To Be A Christian? Dr. Braxton Hunter walks through the core facts that make Christianity true. This breakout is based on his book Core Facts.    

  • LUNCH

  • Breakout Sessions #2

  • Living With Christ's Freedom in a Porn-Saturated World - Nathan Sutherland
    Pornography is a conversation we need for ourselves, and for our kids. In Christ we are new creations, and we live in bodies that have old habits. This conversation addresses the Biblical truths, scientific realities, and spiritual practices we need to live out the freedom we have in Christ.

  • TBD - Dr. Braxton Hunter

  • Creating for Christ - Jon McCray (WhaddoYouMeme)
    How Christians can create content on social media to compete in "the algorithm age".

  • Breakout Sessions #3

  • How to Help Those Dealing with Doubt - Allen Parr

  • Love God. Use Tech. (not the other way around) - Nathan Sutherland
    Learn to identify the two types of tech, assess tech health, and use all the tech that makes us look more like Jesus.

  • Why Trust the New Testament? - Dr. Mike Licona
    Dr. Licona explains why we can trust the New Testament: we have so many ancient copies that we can be confident today’s text is basically what the authors originally wrote. He also shows how a few non-Christian writers from the ancient world mention things that line up with parts of the New Testament story about Jesus. Finally, he describes how early Christians carefully chose which books truly belonged in the New Testament, rather than just picking favorites.

  • Breakout Sessions #4

  • TBD - Dr. Chip Bennett

  • The ABCs of Defending the Gospels - Dr. Mike Licona
    Having positive evidence for trusting the Gospels is not enough. Seekers and skeptics alike have questions and objections. And that’s okay. What are the most common objections to the Gospels’ reliability and do they have solid answers? Dr. Licona takes on the top three objections head-on and shows how each can be thoughtfully addressed.
