Increasingly younger evangelicals have become more active in their church's mission toward those marginalized yet at the same time, have become more skeptical of Christian orthodoxy. This has arisen from a historical flow of ideas (out of Marxism) that informs their faith and is actually inimical to Christian faith and faithful Christian action. This talk will look at some of those differences, and hopes to call Christians toward a just and faithful witness for structural changes.

Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel, published in 1931, envisions a future world governed by the mantra, “Everybody’s happy now.” Today, many of the once-shocking predictions in his novel have already come to pass as we sacrifice questions of human freedom and dignity for the pursuit of comfort and pleasure.

Hospitality is often reduced to 'hosting' but should be seen as a faithful Christian witness not just in our homes, but intimately in our own person and widely out in society. This talk develops our understanding of Christian hospitality through the concepts of 'true truth' and 'true spirituality,' two concepts important to L'Abri's own hospitality.

How might we think of crying out to God if everything rests in God's hands? David Salverda, a pastor, looks through theological, particularly Reformed, responses at how people were called to understand their suffering in light of God's sovereign power. In light of these formulations, must we "keep calm and carry on" or might these give us the grounds for faithful and honest lament?

This talk is about Francis Schaeffer's little book called Back to Freedom and Dignity where he explains how a reductionistic view of humans open us up to manipulation by an academic and scientific elite funded by the state. I will look at how his argument engaged his 1970s audience and then we will discuss together how we can see the implications in today's society.

Are we to think of sex as one of our basic human needs? Is it a human right?

Seventy-five years after the publication of C. S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man (1943), proponents of materialism and naturalism still dominate the public square. Their reductionist and nihilistic approach to morality and other things that give meaning to human life also continues to shape what our children are taught in school. There’s every reason, in face of this ongoing dominance, to defend the case that Lewis’s potent little book sketched three quarters of a century ago—a case I seek to reassert in my primer on moral realism, The Tao of Right and Wrong.

This talk looks at the nature of the Holy Spirit and our vocation. Often we think of the Spirit as a force that stands alien to our daily lives. Yet the Bible speaks of the Spirit as enlivening all areas of life. What does it mean that the Spirit is at work in the world and through our jobs?

Conservatives vs. liberals. Corporations vs. small farmers. Parents vs. the school board. The government vs. First Nations. The 1% vs. the poor. Often Jesus is invoked as supporting either side, but where would He really stand in these divisive issues? As we look at how Jesus engaged with injustice in His time on earth, we can draw some principles about how to approach our own desires for social change.
