Are You Thirsty?

Yes you are! And a world that is increasingly forgetting about God has no shortage of ways for you to quench that thirst. But one look at the Saints reveals that we are thirsty for something more than the whole world can give. This powerful talk from a youth ministry veteran provides an incisive look at the ever-widening gap between faith and culture and offers a solution that’s simple but not easy – becoming the kind of person that makes others thirsty for God (Saint YOU!). This talk hits on the importance of family life in handing on the faith and has simultaneously impacted 9 year olds and 90 year olds with amazing stories that bring the Saints to life. It is perfect for teens and theirparents together.

Facing the Greatest Problem of Our Time—Relativism:
“The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid” (G.K. Chesterton). Yet most people today don’t think we can know anything “solid” when it comes to faith and morals – only varying opinions which are all be equally true (even if they contradict each other). This is called “relativism”. Pope Benedict XVI has called relativism “the greatest problem of our time” & it’s a problem you can’t afford to ignore. In his talk Chris spells out what relativism is in simple language, unveils its devastating effects on the world, and equips you to (charitably) rip it apart in three easy steps…and most importantly how not to fall into it yourself. He also spells out why being “close minded” doesn’t make you “closed hearted”.

Raising Pure Teens in a Sex-Saturated Culture:

Raising Holy Kids in a Post-modern World:
Parents, do you know what you’re up against? The post-modern world that young people find themselves in provides no moral and religious framework to help them make sense out of life. It’s no wonder that according to a recent CDC survey 17% of young people had considered suicide. Learn about the cultural factors have robbed teens of faith and hope, and how you as a parent can give it back to them.
