Social media, peer pressure, music, movies, and news outlets have created a culture that has so saturated the minds of our children that they are almost completely unaware that their default is the affirmation of the transsexual movement. The Pew Research Center found that teens are far more likely than adults to say society hasn’t gone far enough in accepting people who are transgender. How did all this begin? Can we learn from our recent history of affirming gender ideology? How do we proceed from here? This talk addresses these questions from a biblical worldview.
All over the nation teens from Christian families are “deconstructing.” YouTube is filled with testimonials of teens who have abandoned the faith by this systematic process of meticulously picking away the truth value of Scripture and finding confidence in their “authentic selves.” Find out how this process works and what you can do about it.
There have been many news articles about unrest and political activism in the public university. There have also been many stories of students leaving the faith after attending public universities. What are Christian homeschoolers in for when they embark on attending such a place? After numerous years of teaching in public colleges and universities, Renton will lay out the challenges that Christian homeschoolers will face, as well as biblical strategies for preparing them for those challenges.
Today, more than ever, we need strong, reliable men, husbands, and fathers. At the heart of biblical leadership in the home is a hierarchy of love for God that then dictates how we will love others. The higher the level of responsibility and the weight that accompanies decision-making in the home, the greater the temptation is for men to either become like a child to their wife or become a bully in the home. In this talk, we will discuss practical, biblical acts of headship in the home and how to make a real difference in the next generation.
