God designed everything to be balanced. A predator is given everything it needs to be a successful hunter, but He has also given prey animals very effective ways of avoiding becoming a meal. We will explore some of these adaptations. Geared for ages 7-10.
God created everything to work together perfectly and sustainably. By observing nature and mimicking God’s design in organisms and systems, we can create better ways of doing things. Geared for ages 9 and up.
People love to put things into groups. It helps us to compare, contrast and learn about God’s design. This is geared for younger children.

What should I do with my life? Who should I marry? Is college God’s will for me? In this session John will offer some clear and hopeful thinking about how students can discover God’s purposes for their life.
Having all the right answers is not the same as having a biblical worldview. The question is, how can we help our children live what they claim to believe? How do we integrate head knowledge and heart knowledge? Looking to the past, John offers a vision of cultivating virtue in the face of a culture of distraction and temptation.
Having the “talk” about sexuality with our children is difficult enough, but in this culture of brokenness it’s even more daunting. We live in the wake of the sexual revolution, and parents need to understand the ways that have shaped the context in which our kids mature, develop relationships, marry and have children. John will shine light on the cultural darkness in a way that will help you help your children embrace one of God’s greatest gifts.
Our view OF the world informs our view FOR the world. We live out what we believe through the lens of our worldview, and by reading and meditating on Scripture, we discover God’s revealed will and purpose. In this session, John addresses a biblical worldview’s relevance to life and culture.
Beneath the more obvious issues in our culture, there are four undercurrents that are often unnoticed, yet are dramatically shaping the world our students are growing up in. John explains these cultural shifts and offers clear, practical strategies for helping students navigate them.
We are placed in the world and we are called to engage in it. How do we live as Christ’s disciples amidst profound cultural change? In this session John helps students understand how to engage the culture while also rising above it.
Hollywood, television, pop music, gaming, social media ... we live in a world of glowing rectangles clamoring for our attention. When should I turn it off? Why should I turn it off? What are the lies the media tells in this culture? John offers clarity in this area, right where our culture is loudest.

The earth is wearing out just like the Bible said it would. The earth is undergoing changes that can be seen everywhere: Why do volcanoes erupt? Why are there earthquakes and tsunamis? Why do rocks fall from the sky? What are comets? Why are there unique weather patterns? And, is the earth warming? If so, why? Why are all continents shifting toward the Pacific? What produces El Niños? The answers are all related, and might surprise you!
A look at why the Genesis record is so vital to a sound understanding, not only of the origins of the world, but also of the major New Testament doctrines. We show why the creation days were literal, 24-hour periods, not millions of years. This session also includes a contrast of the results of a society that teaches evolution as opposed to the creation model.
