How to College-Proof Your Faith
with Jay Seegert
of The Starting Point Project
Two thirds (or more) of Christian students walk away from their faith before leaving college. Jay's dynamic presentation helps expose what the real issues are, as opposed to blaming college itself. This encouraging talk will help prepare students for challenges they face so they won't be intimidated by the college environment. It will also help parents mentor their children through many challenging issues.
Below each location are links to slides

bulletins, would you ask your pastor to include one of these to advertise this meeting? (Thanks!)

Reasons for Hope and Carl Kerby Present the Impact Retreat for Ages 11 to 20!
Why not bring your youth group?
Got questions? Get answers!
Every young Christian who thinks will have questions about Christianity, especially after seeing the attacks on television on the "historical Jesus" ... with K-college schools teaching that the universe and life happened by chance... Is the Bible's history really any more than a collection of just-so tales, first told by a fireside thousands of years ago? Or is there any evidence that the "tales" are true? [Spoiler: you BET there's evidence!]
An EQUIP retreat is an annual apologetics-based retreat held across the country at different locations. The speakers are ALL convinced that the Bible IS reporting real history, including in Genesis Chapter 1 (six days of creation). The retreat is designed to teach young people to own, share, and defend their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. While there will be lots of fun and games, the goal of EQUIP is to plant seeds that inspire a generation of teens to have eternal impact on the Kingdom of God by equipping them to better understand, articulate, and spread the Gospel.
NOTE: If this date doesn't work for you, there are SIX other similar retreats scheduled throughout summer 2025, at six different locations!
Location:
Judson University1151 North State Street, Elgin, IL 60123

Video: Israel in Egypt: Archeology that Supports the Biblical Record
MCF's November 2024 meeting with Nate Loper
Is Egyptian archaeology really silent about the Hebrew people and the Israelites? In this talk, Nate will highlight archeological finds from Egypt that showcase and support the Biblical record regarding the Hebrew people and Israel. Having traveled to Egypt multiple times himself in research regarding the accounts in Genesis and Exodus, hear Nate share firsthand how Egyptology really does support Scripture!
