Youth Apologetics Conference: Exploring Truth
The Youth Apologetics Conference held on April 7-8 attracted 70-80 attendees, focusing on topics such as evolution, world religions, and sexual relationships. Engaging sessions included discussions on truth facilitated by local pastors. The positive feedback led to requests for a future conference.
Evolution, Religion, and Relationships
During the last two days of spring break, we had the second totally free Youth Apologetics Conference. We had 70 – 80 youth attend on April 7 – 8. As a result of a survey after the first youth conference, we learned Clarkston youth wanted to discuss the truth about other religions, evolution, and sexual relationships.
The first day after a time of worship, the youth pastor of Clarkston International Bible Church talked about What is Truth. That and each session was followed by a panel discussion responding to their questions. After lunch I led a session on What is the Truth About Evolution. One of the pastors in Clarkston led a sensitive session on What is the Truth About Sexual Relationships to end day one.
The next day after worship began with a session on What is the Truth About World Religions. After lunch , that was followed by a session on What is the Truth About Islam. The conference wrapped up with a session on What is the Truth About Hinduism and Buddhism followed by wrap-up and conclusion.
The conference was very well received, and the youth have requested another conference during Thanksgiving break. At this time, we are thinking of separating the boys and the girls and discussing What It Means To Be A Man or A Woman.
