The Y4Life Apologetics course takes youth through eight sessions that discuss theological truths and helps them apply those truths 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 participate in aggressive arguments. The next Y4Life Apologetics Retreat will be held at Camp Lutherhoma in Tahlequah, Oklahoma April 26-28, 2024. Space is limited! See current flyer for more information. Questions?
