We are continuing on through The Thread series. This week we will be covering the Birth of Jesus and the Shepherds and you can find a parent letter linked here. Please use the handout to walk through some questions with your student after the lesson.

Jay Seegert Will Discuss Scientific Evidence for the Inspiration of the Bible
Wednesday, May 1 | 6:30 - 8 p.m.

Jay Seegert is an international speaker and author who has been speaking on the Authority of Scripture for over 36 years. He has spoken at Districts, No Regrets, and many other events where you may have heard him.

Everything we believe as Christians rests on the assumption that the Bible is actually the inspired, error-free Word of God… but how do we know that? It's not politically correct to believe the Bible alone is the inspired Word of God and most Christians cannot defend this belief. Are we to exercise blind faith, or is there a great body of evidence supporting this crucial point? This topic presents incredible scientific evidence showing beyond doubt that the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God!

More About Chris

Besides his full-time job in the medical world, Chris’ specialty is dad jokes. He’s fueled by Jesus and caffeine – cold brews, specifically. His wife (Interim Kids Ministry Director, Ashley Schmidt) and two kids keep Chris energized. Together, they enjoy playing games that they make up (and hopefully don’t end in injury. Sounds fun, right?!). Chris’ testimony, administrative skills, and desire to see youth follow Christ make him a great addition to the Oakwood team.
