Conference Topics: Session 1 | ATHEIST ENCOUNTER What would you say if an atheist challenged your deepest convictions about God and the Bible? In this session, Sean role-plays an atheist, raises tough questions against the faith by taking live questions from the audience, and then steps out of character and helps the audience reflect on the experience. This is a hands-on experience where you will walk away motivated and equipped to lovingly and intelligently make a case for Christianity. Session 2 | TRUE FOR YOU, BUT NOT TRUE FOR ME Don't we live in a "post-truth" culture that cares more about feelings than facts? People often say, "That may be your truth, but it's not mine," as if truth changes based on what we believe about it or how we feel. In this session, we will consider why truth is vital, learn how to properly define it, examine objections against its knowability and existence, and grasp the powerful implications of truth for our daily lives. Session 3 | EVIDENCE FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT In this session, Sean presents the historical evidence for how accurately the New Testament has been preserved throughout history. Even though publicized opinions often claim there is a reason for skepticism, recent findings actually strengthen the case for the reliability and trustworthiness of the Scriptures. Sean presents the three main lines of evidence from within the Bible, the transmission of ancient documents, and from archaeology outside the Bible. Get to know the speaker and worship leader: Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular young people, to make the case for the Christian faith. He connects with audiences in a tangible way through humor and stories while imparting hard evidence and logical support for viewing all areas of life through a Biblical worldview. Sean is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. John Mark McMillan is something of an anomaly: an artist and Platinum-selling songwriter bending genres and defying categorization by carving out his own unique and independent path. With an ear for melody and a poet's eye for metaphor, no topic has been off-limits. While each of his albums over the past decade has continued to explore new territory, it's McMillan's ability to give lyrics and language to the human experience that many consider his greatest gift. Some of his most famous songs include "How He loves us", and "King of my heart".
