Chesterton Talks with Sean McDowell

Temple Baptist Church invites you to join us on May 29th and 30th for a special Chesterton Talks series with Sean McDowell, author and speaker, as we tackle some of the most important questions facing Christians today. Through thought-provoking teaching and interactive discussion, you’ll leave better equipped to engage with the world around you, understand your faith more deeply, and respond to challenging questions with confidence. Whether you’re a teen, parent, educator, or adult seeking insight, this event offers something for everyone.

Info: What would you say if an atheist challenged your deepest convictions about God and the Bible? In this session Sean role plays an atheist, raises tough questions against the faith by taking live questions from the audience, and then steps out of character and helps the audience reflect on the experience. Sean has done this presentation in small youth groups and in large stadiums. This is a hands-on experience where you will walk away motivated and equipped to more lovingly and intelligently make a case for Christianity.

Info: Don't we live in a "post-truth" culture that cares more about feelings than facts? People often say, “That may be your truth, but it’s not mine,” as if truth changes based upon what we believe about it or how we feel. In this session, we will consider why truth is vital, learn how to properly define it, examine objections against its knowability and existence, and grasp the powerful implications of truth for our daily lives.

Info: In this session, Sean presents the historical evidence for how accurately the New Testament has been preserved through history. Even though publicized opinions often claim there is reason for skepticism, recent findings actually strengthen the case for the reliability and trustworthiness of the Scriptures. Sean presents the three main lines of evidence from within the Bible, the transmission of ancient documents, and from archaeology outside the Bible.

Info: UNDERSTANDING WORLDVIEW THROUGH FILM: Movies, television, and other forms of modern media deeply shape the way we view the world. In this session, Sean walks through how to understand the nature and power of worldviews through analyzing various films. Using short clips, Sean will help the audience learn how to more critically watch movies and also to see how they present a "view of the world" that compares and contrasts with the Christian faith.
