Featured Speakers for Wheatstone Academy 2008 Conference
What is Wheatstone Academy?
A community of Christians dedicated to equipping students in mind and heart to change culture for the sake of Jesus Christ.
Wheatstone Academy transforms the lives of Christian students, by engaging their minds and hearts in an unparalleled week-long experience. This summer, young men and women will be challenged by world-class Christian teachers with the vision of a life that sees the truth of Christianity and discerns the ideas that shape our culture.
More than half of Christian students will leave the church by the time they graduate college.
Students are starving for meaning and fulfillment, especially in their spiritual lives.
Our nation is facing a crisis of faith, and many Christian students are not surviving it. The secular ideas that are most dangerous to young Christians are not obviously “anti-Christian,” but are subtly conveyed by popular cultural trends. Most students, lacking confidence in the objective truth of Christianity, submit to Relativism’s call for self-centered spirituality.
When faith becomes mere personal preference, it becomes irrelevant and is ultimately forgotten.
Christian students need more than ready-made responses to ideas that undermine their faith. The teaching, experiences and community at Wheatstone Academy collaborate to drive the truth and power of Christianity to the center of students’ lives, and to guide them to discover that all things hold together in Christ.
