Two Ways

Conrad Hilario

Psalms 1:1-6

The book of Psalms teach us how to relate honestly to God, how to praise and thank Him, and how to affirm what is true in the midst of difficult circumstances or emotions. In Psalm 1 we see that the primary characteristic of the righteous is that their lives are rooted in and nourished by God's Word. This requires making time for reading scripture, minimizing distractions, and prioritizing quality over quantity.

Trinity Basics for Spiritual Conversations

Dave Schutter

John 3:16

The reality of the Trinity is an important truth both to support our discipleship and our evangelism. As we see Scripture's witness to God as the Trinity, we mature in our faith and grow in our confidence, which in turn helps our evangelistic conversations improve. Through studying the Trinity in Scripture, this doctrinal truth can become a truth that is both relational and relevant for us. This workshop helps us extract key truths about the Trinity from Scripture and consider how to thoughtful converse about this topic with non-Christians.

Teaching Apologetics to Teens

Brad DuFault

John 15:5

While there are barriers to teaching apologetics to teenagers, there are also several important benefits. Apologetics can help lead non-believing teens to Christ, and students who are believers can begin to develop a confident faith. In order to teach them effectively, however, we should pray for God's help and involvement and seek ways to connect with the students. Through accommodating for students' understanding and encouraging participation, we can communicate the content in a way that is clear and impactful.
