Session Descriptions
Session 1 | Should you follow your heart?
Frank Turek
Are you led by your feelings, or are you led by THE TRUTH? The Bible warns that “the heart is deceitful above all things,” yet our culture (and even some in the Church)--seem to have forgotten this essential truth. How can Christians resist the pull to follow their own desires instead of God’s truth? And why do we have an identity crisis in our world today? Join Dr. Frank Turek as he presents 'Should You Follow Your Heart?', a compelling discussion on the cultural and personal pitfalls of following FEELINGS over FACTS.
Session 2 | Progressive Christianity: A Biblical Response to a Growing Movement
Alisa Childers
Walk through the history, key beliefs, and key figures of the movement of progressive Christianity, as Alisa ultimately shows how progressive Christianity is at odds with historic Christianity and even disagrees with Jesus on what the Bible is, what Jesus accomplished on the cross, and the definition of the gospel.
Session 3 | Assault on the Imago Dei
Joseph Robinson
Addressing the confusion regarding our identity and bring clarity to leading cultural issues of Suicide, Abortion, Transgenderism and Sexuality.
Session 4 | Does Jesus trump your politics?
Frank Turek
Why should Christians be involved in politics? How can we love our neighbor through politics? Can we legislate morality? What should Christians do if we don’t like either candidate? Where do the candidates stand on the most important issues?
Session 5 | Is the Bible sexist?
Alisa Childers
Does Christianity oppress women? Does the Bible teach that women are less valuable than men? In this talk, Alisa will explain how Christianity has historically been liberating to women, and how the Bible actually elevates the status of women and teaches that women are made equal in value and worth to men, both being made in God’s image.
