What is Education For? A Biblical View of Education
Erin Kunkle
Parents spend so much time, effort and money on their kid's education. But how many Christian parents can articulate the primary purpose of education according to God's Word? How does Scripture inform and direct the educational goals we set for our kids? Is our Christian worldview front and center in our thinking about education or is a mere afterthought? This talk will show you how our Christian faith isn't just an add-on to our kids' education but instead, provides a comprehensive framework from which to educate the next generation.

Why Jesus Still Matters in a World that Rejects the Bible
J. Warner Wallace
In his work as a police detective, J. Warner Wallace had successfully identified and convicted murderers, even without evidence from the crime scene. Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way? Could the truth about Jesus be uncovered even without a body or a crime scene? In this talk, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity, and how his investigation confirmed the historicity and deity of Jesus—without relying on the New Testament. You’ll see how Jesus—the most significant person in history—changed the world and why he still matters today.

The Case for Truth
J. Warner Wallace
Our culture is deeply confused about truth. “You do you” or “Live your truth” are the cultural mantras of the day and many Christians buy into it. In this talk, J. Warner Wallace will help you distinguish objective truth from subjective truth and help you lay a solid foundation of truth that will last you for the rest of your life.

A Biblical View of Gender
Erik Thoennes
We now live in a world filled with confusion about the nature of gender. Is gender merely a social construct? Or, is there an intentional created difference between men and women? A biblical view of gender helps us to see that male and female are not problems to be solved but rather, display God-intended realities to be celebrated. In this talk, Erik will outline the biblical teaching and show how God’s design beautifully images the One who made us and brings glory to our Creator.

Who Chose the Books of the Bible and Why?
Jonathan Morrow
Most Christians lack a basic understanding of the Bible’s origins. Where did the New Testament come from? Were the books of the Bible selected by Emperor Constantine for social and political reasons? How was truth transmitted by the earliest Christians in a largely oral and illiterate culture? What did Christians read before there was a Bible? In this talk, Jonathan explains the origins of Scripture and how the canon of Scripture can be traced back to the authoritative teaching of Jesus Himself.

What Does the Bible Say About Finding God’s Will for Our Lives?
Brett Kunkle
How do I discover God’s will for my life? How do I help my kid find God’s will for their life? Is it hidden and do I have to look for clues and listen for God’s voice to find it? This talk will question much of popular Christian teaching on God’s will and the "leading" of the Holy Spirit. But after a careful examination of the Bible, you'll see decision making in a completely new light. By the time we’re done, you will have the tools you need to make wise choices and equip your kids to do the same.
