Youth Worker Conference (Saskatoon)
Andy Steiger will be speaking at the upcoming Youth Worker Conference in Saskatoon. He will be speaking at both the Point Leader Gathering on the 24th as well as a morning breakout session on the 25th. For the Point Leader Gathering, there will be a conversation around the topic of deconstruction movement and how we can help students develop a resilient faith. The Saturday breakout session will be the following:
Can I Trust the God of the Bible is Good?
We encourage our youth to read the Bible, in which they are confronted by war, slavery, murder, prostitution, rape, and more. Everything that shames humanity is on full display. For a holy book, it’s not what you would expect. The characters found in the pages of Scripture are not the heroes we are often tempted to revere. They are complicated, broken, and in need of saving. The Bible provides such clarity on the human condition that our students may distort the main character—God. The Bible has left many to question: is the God of the Bible good? Can He be trusted? In this session, we will look beyond the biblical characters to see God clearly and that He can be trusted. Besides grounding ourselves, we will discuss how to help youth navigate the character of God in the OT.
To attend Andy’s sessions, you need to register for the whole event.
