August 11 & 12, 2023

In the last few centuries, the intellectual world has slowly but steadily abandoned Christianity, offering alternate secular perspectives to life’s most important questions. As a result, Christian educators have become suspicious of “academia” and often seek to protect children from secular learning. In this conference, we will explore the dual goals of pursuing learning and promoting faith. How do we foster faith, encourage an interest in truth, model confidence and humility, and avoid rebellion—all while embedded in a hostile world? Because truth is faith’s greatest ally, we can embrace open and honest inquiry, trusting God to turn hearts to Him.
