Dying to Meet You: Preventing Euthanasia, Encouraging Hope
More than 50,000 Canadians have died by euthanasia since it was legalized in 2016. The euthanasia rate is three times the suicide rate. Why is euthanasia becoming such a temptation in our time? What is motivating people's involvement or acquiescence? This presentation will better equip you to address those actually tempted by euthanasia, whether practically or theoretically. Together we will explore how we can put forward a more attractive alternative vision as we engage the big questions of suffering, death, meaning, and hope.
Amanda Achtman
Pro-life Heart Apologetics 101
Understanding the logical pro-life arguments and identifying logical fallacies while maintaining a compassionate, grace-centred posture in the abortion debate. How do we speak to those who have had abortions? How do we help people see the need to work through a past abortion that they think they don't regret?

Is Marriage Still Relevant?

This presentation will use the latest data and research to enlighten your understanding of what marriage is, why it matters, and how this information can fit into conversations with the next generation.
