Presented by: Phil Hills
Focus: General (All Teachers)
When I began my career there was a lot of talk about our students being a product of the post modern age. That is not longer true. Today’s students live in a virtual multiverse. Because of this they believe many ideas are true, but what distinguishes them from their relativistic elders is that they also believe some things are true for everyone at all time. Come to this session to understand how they can hold to these contradictions. Discover their deepest desires in this world. More than this, learn how to use this emerging worldview as a powerful springboard to gospel centered thinking and living.
More coming soon.
