We'd love for our Tribe youth and leaders to join us at Crossroads Bible Church for Stand to Reason's annual student apologetics conference - The Challenge to Reality! Your ticket includes lunch at Chick-fil-A on Saturday. We will be carpooling from CCS (more details to follow regarding departure time, etc.)
Illusionists are masters of misdirection.
With a flick of the hand and a well-timed distraction, they can make you believe something that isn’t real. Coins vanish. Cards teleport. Rabbits appear. The trick works because your attention is in the wrong place. And just like that, you’re fooled.
But what if the same thing is happening, not on a stage, but in the ideas shaping our world?
You scroll through Instagram and see a popular Muslim arguing, “Jesus never said, ‘I am God.’” Your friend asks why people go to Hell for not believing in Jesus. You hear a trending voice claim, “Science proves God doesn’t exist.” Each of these misdirects and misleads, making the truth easy to miss.
At this season’s Reality Student Apologetics Conference, we’re tackling challenges to reality—from rival worldviews, to technology, to the exclusivity of Jesus, and more.
The writer of Hebrews gives a sobering warning: “We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it” (Heb. 2:1).
Drifting doesn’t happen all at once. It happens when we stop paying attention.
That’s why Reality Apologetics exists and is essential for every young Christian. We train students to slow down, think clearly, and fix their eyes on what’s true. Join us this year as we expose the challenges to reality and point back to truth.
