Two-thirds of young people in our churches drop out between the ages of 14-29. The departure of young people from churches is happening all across Europe. Why? How can we understand their reasons for leaving the church? And how can we lovingly and strategically respond? In this session, we will identify the best practices churches have discovered in loving and discipling young people. Through asking pointed questions and looking through a biblical lens, we will be able to find solutions for churches across Europe and learn how to love today’s generation the way Christ does.
 

A key criticism of Christianity today concerns the problematic history of the Church, whether the “Christian jihad” of Charlemagne or the recent child sexual abuse scandals and cover-ups. Avoiding both the whitewashing of history and acquiescing to the mantra that “religion does more harm than good,” Professor Dickson will propose a threefold approach to this vital question of public Christianity today.

Media has a highly significant role globally in pre-evangelism and evangelism through a wide variety of channels, platforms, and genres. This talk introduces two different case studies on challenges and opportunities in using media to reach unreached people groups. During this talk, participants are invited to ask clarifying questions.

This talk teaches principles and models for relevantly sharing Jesus and making disciples among young people who would not usually walk into your church. How can we communicate the Gospel to them when they have such a negative view of God? When you have the boldness to step outside the Church and share your faith, people are open and ready to hear the Gospel. This talk equips, inspires, and challenges you to reach a lost generation.
