1. Testimony: From Militant Atheist to Christian Apologist

Growing up in a non-Christian home, Steve knew nothing about Jesus until late in life. In fact, he was nothing but antagonistic to Christians and their claim that theirs was the only way to God. While embarking on a spiritual journey through the Quran, the Upanishads, the Dhammapadda and more, he discovered that two of his university friends were Christians. Soon after, he made it his life mission to rescue them from Jesus. After studying scripture and the biblical languages analytically over a period of 5 years, it ended up being Jesus who rescued him.

2. What Science Left Behind

Much of our modern culture would have us believe that science and faith are at odds with one another. This is simply not true. For centuries, the great scientists responsible for profound discoveries that have shaped our daily lives and furthered our understanding of nature were, in fact, motivated by their belief in God. So, how can we reconcile the discouraging gap that has emerged between modern science and Biblical faith? Join Steve on a journey through scripture that will equip you with tools for the deep conversations about “life, the universe, and everything”. Together, we will pick up what science has left behind.

4. The Scale of Space and the Glory of God

(Psalm 19, with interactive activity)

There is a fundamental problem with pictures of our solar system: they are never drawn to-scale. The images we were shown in school create a false impression of the scale of the cosmos while, in reality, the planets are so far away from one another, we can scarcely imagine. Psalm 19 says that "The heavens declare the glory of God; the Skies proclaim the work of His hands". Join Steve in uncovering God's glory and work by taking a tour through the skies starting in our solar system and expanding outward to the farthest reaches of space and time to show how God's incredible love is evident when we look at His creation. Suitable for all ages, the optional activity requires a significant amount of space such as a church sanctuary or an open field.

5. Are We Made of dirt?

(Genesis 2:7, with interactive activity)

Genesis 2:7 makes the surprising claim that Adam was physically formed from the dust of the ground before God breathed life into his nostrils. What does it mean to be made of the dust from the ground? Are we made of dirt? The short, answer is: yes. Exploring the techniques astronomers use to figure out what space is made of, take part in a safe and engaging scientific experiment involving helium, high voltage, and heavenly glory to discover the truth in the earliest chapters of the Old Testament.
