What's This All About?

Thursday night at the Grace & Truth Conference is different. While the rest of the conference dives deep into theological truths that have shaped Christianity for centuries, this evening is specifically crafted for teens and young adults who are asking the hard questions about faith, life, and what it all means.

We're calling it "Faith Anchored in Truth: The Five Solas Rediscovered" – but don't let the fancy theological term scare you off. The Five Solas are five Latin phrases that capture the heart of what it means to follow Jesus, and they're more relevant to your daily life than you might think.

Picture this: Six TED-style talks, each 15 minutes long, tackling the real issues you're facing – just honest conversations about faith that actually connects with your world.

Who Should Come?

This evening is designed for teens and young adults who are:

  • Wrestling with doubt and want solid answers
  • Tired of shallow spirituality that doesn't address real life
  • Facing anxiety, pressure, and uncertainty about the future
  • Wondering if Christianity can handle their toughest questions
  • Ready to discover a faith that's both intellectually satisfying and practically powerful
  • Curious about what makes Christianity different from everything else out there

Whether you're a seasoned believer looking to go deeper, someone exploring faith for the first time, or anywhere in between, this night is for you.

Why You Should Be There

Because Your Questions Matter: Our speakers aren't going to dodge the hard stuff. They're tackling questions like: "Is the Bible actually enough for real life?" "How do I trust God when everything feels uncertain?" "What about when I'm struggling and feel like I'm failing at faith?" These are the conversations you've been wanting to have.

Because You Need Truth That Works: In a world full of trending opinions and shifting values, you need something solid to stand on. The Five Solas aren't just historical theology – they're timeless truths that can anchor your faith when culture tries to sweep you away. You'll discover why these 500-year-old insights are exactly what your generation needs today.

Because Your Youth is a Gift, Not a Burden: One of our speakers will challenge you to see your teen years not as something to survive, but as a unique season of opportunity. While culture tells you to be anxious about everything, faith tells you to "go for it" – to embrace the freedom and possibilities that come with trusting Jesus.

Because Grace Changes Everything: Whether you're the high achiever burning out from pressure, the person who feels like they don't fit in, someone struggling with addiction, or the one everyone looks up to – you all have one thing in common: you need God's grace. And when you really understand what grace means, it transforms how you see yourself, your struggles, and your future.

Because You Want Your Life to Matter: The final talk will address the question every young person asks: "What am I living for?" You'll discover that when you understand God's sovereignty and purpose, even your struggles and setbacks can become part of something bigger than yourself.

The Format You'll Love

Forget sitting through hour-long sermons or lectures. These are dynamic, engaging TED-style presentations that respect your intelligence and speak your language. Each speaker has 15 minutes to deliver one powerful idea that could change how you think about faith and life.

The Bottom Line

This isn't just another youth event with games and pizza (though we're not against those). This is a chance to encounter truths that have sustained millions of believers through centuries of challenges – truths that are perfectly suited for your generation facing unprecedented pressures and possibilities.

If you're ready for a faith that's both intellectually honest and practically powerful, Thursday night is your night. Come with your questions, your doubts, and your hopes. Leave with a foundation that can hold up under pressure and a vision for what it really means to follow Jesus in today's world.
