Half Truths About Heaven

Most people spend more time thinking about a week-long vacation than they do thinking about eternity. That’s a problem, because when we fail to think deeply about our final destination, it leads us to accept half truths about heaven peddled by culture rather than the whole truths we find in Scripture. After replacing a few half-truths about heaven with whole-truths, your attendees will walk away from this talk with a lot more purpose in the present and a lot more hope for the future.

Redeeming Your Time

Christian or not, it’s pretty hard to dispute that Jesus was the most productive person to ever walk the earth. And because Jesus was 100% God and 100% man, we know that he faced the same 24 hour time constraint you and I face today. How did Jesus manage his time 2,000 years ago? And how can we manage our time like he might today? Those are the questions I answer in this supremely practical talk where attendees walk away with 7 practices they can implement immediately to redeem their time in the model of our Redeemer.

The Unabridged Gospel

The dominant version of “the gospel” preached in churches today is that “Jesus came to save you and me from our sins.” And while that statement is gloriously true, it is also tragically incomplete. The stakes of this “abridged gospel” could not be higher for your attendees. If “the gospel” is merely good news for human souls, then the Great Commission to “save souls” is the singular mission of their lives, and most of them are wasting most of their time. Thankfully, this is not the gospel Jesus preached. Your group will leave this talk with a crisp understanding of “the unabridged gospel” and a deep belief that 100% of their time matters for eternity—not just the 1% of the time they spend "sharing the gospel."

Who Are You Meant To Be?

This is the question teenagers are asking themselves today, isn’t it? This GIF-heavy keynote is designed to help your high-school or college-aged audience answer this massive question by showing them the dual commissions God has given humankind: The First and Great Commissions. Students will walk away from this talk with a deep sense of freedom to lean into their dreams of becoming lawyers, soldiers, teachers, programmers, and filmmakers and embrace those vocations as means of glorifying God, serving others, and making disciples of Jesus Christ.
