    Kids Ed: Sports to the Glory of God — Steven R. Martins

    Sports to the Glory of God examines athletics from a distinctly biblical worldview, beginning with sports as a cultural development of God’s good creation and bringing them under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Drawing especially on Paul’s athletic imagery, the talk considers discipline, competition, community, rules, human ability, and the pursuit of victory, while warning against pride, idolatry, and the false ideas communicated through sport. Ultimately, whether winning or losing, the Christian athlete is called to compete faithfully and use every God-given ability for the glory of God. Worldview Sports Camp is an action-packed week for ages 6–12 that develops athletic skill, teamwork, and discipline while helping campers understand how sports, competition, and physical training can be lived out to the glory of God within a faithful biblical worldview.

    Kids Ed: How Can We Trust the Bible? — Joseph Owen

    In How Can We Trust the Bible?, Joseph Owen, Director of the Worldview Science Center, examines why Christians can have confidence that the Scriptures we possess today faithfully preserve the Word of God. Drawing from the history of the biblical text, ancient manuscripts, archaeology, and the discipline of textual criticism, this lecture explores how scholars compare manuscript evidence and account for textual variants while establishing the wording of the biblical text. Owen addresses common challenges to Scripture’s reliability and equips Christians to give a thoughtful, informed defense of the Bible as a trustworthy record of God’s revelation. Garden Path Camp is a fun, hands-on outdoor adventure for ages 6–12 that builds physical resilience and teaches faithful stewardship of God’s creation while guiding campers through the biblical story of the three Gardens.

    Kids Ed: Dinosaurs and the Bible — Calvin Smith

    In Dinosaurs and the Bible, Calvin Smith of AiG Canada explores the fascinating world of dinosaurs through the lens of biblical history. Beginning with the authority of Scripture and the Genesis account of creation, this lecture examines when dinosaurs lived, how they fit within God’s created order, what happened to them, and how the fossil record relates to Noah’s Flood. Along the way, Smith challenges conventional evolutionary assumptions and demonstrates how dinosaurs can be understood consistently within a biblical worldview.
