Apologetics Conference: Faithful Witness
2025-10-24 - 2025-10-25 | DeSantis Family Chapel, 300 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL, United States
Ideas create culture. Ideas shape what is deemed by those in culture as plausible or implausible, desirable or undesirable. Jesus understood this well, which is why he takes ideas, especially those at the core of human experience, so seriously. Those living in the way of Jesus are called to do what he did, to be a faithful witness—a trustworthy guide—who makes knowledge of God and life in his kingdom available to others.
In the spirit of testing the most important ideas, Palm Beach Atlantic University invites you to join our community as we seek the knowledge, wisdom, and transformation that makes life meaningful and the gospel seen as reasonable and desirable.
