Designed for in-person weekend retreats or online gatherings of high school and college youth, the Y4Life Apologetics course takes youth through eight sessions that discuss theological truths and how to apply them to life issues and arguments. Through modeling and practice, youth gain experience in how to uphold life using Gospel-motivated biblical, logical, and philosophical approaches as well as how to have charitable conversations rather than aggressive arguments.
