The 19th annual Christian Youth Summit is quickly approaching on April 10-11 in Bend, Oregon! We are very excited to host Brett Kunkle, founder of Maven Truth, a popular apologetics and worldview ministry based in Southern California. Registration is live and required to attend (click here) – do it now in case it fills up! We do have limited space.

Our keynote speakers (click here for bios) will tackle crucial topics this year that will help students, parents and ministry leaders stand firm in their Christian faith and worldview. Check out Brett Kunkle’s keynote talks below. We will be announcing our other keynote speaker, Shawn Hart’s talks, in coming weeks. Research shows that youth who have walked away from their faith say that they had confusion about these subjects. Research also shows that young people wish the church would discuss tough questions more openly.

Brett Kunkle’s Keynote Talks

Why I Am a Christian: An Introduction to Apologetics   

We will look at the most common reasons Christians give for why they embrace Christianity and show how a skeptical world often shoots those reasons down. Then we’ll discuss the primary reason why we ought to embrace Christianity: because it’s true. We’ll clarify this controversial claim and show how the truth of religious claims must be grounded in reality, not wishful thinking. Of course, such a claim is followed by questions of how we can know Christianity is true, so we’ll look at the importance of apologetics for Christians living in the 21st century.

How Your Worldview Matters for Every Single Area of Your Life

What is a worldview and why does it even matter? In this talk you’ll discover that everyone has a worldview but most people have never thought carefully about why they believe what they believe. Ironically, one’s worldview has profound consequences for all of life. We’ll take a brief look at the prominent worldviews in our culture and then discuss the very practical implications of worldview for how we live each and every day.
