CONTEND, ONE-DAY APOLOGETICS CONFERENCE FOR TEENS, ADDRESSES TOUGH QUESTIONS

Contend, a first-ever apologetics event for high school students at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and Leavell College, Jan. 7, 2023, brought together 250 students for a one-day conference on apologetic issues impacting youth today.

Frank Turek, president of CrossExamined.org, a popular speaker and the author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist, headlined the event.

“Cliché Sunday School answers are insufficient to address the realities of our contentious culture,” said Greg Wilton, Leavell College Dean. “Apologetics helps students wed biblical fidelity with intellectual resolve to present hope and truth that can only be found in Christ.”
