Equipping Young People to
Understand and Articulate Their Faith.
Empowering events for youth and their leaders.
Trying to raise kids with
strong faith in a confusing world?
We show students how to use Scripture to find answers to their questions about God and the world around them.
Youth and teens are wrestling with big questions, like:
Even if God is real,
how do I know He
is good?
Can I trust what the Bible says?
What about the people who die without ever hearing about Jesus?
This is where leaders and adults help them make sense of what they experience in the world so they can think clearly about what they believe and connect it back to a faith they understand and can own.
The Ambassadors Forum breaks down complex topics—from culture and worldviews, to reliability of the Bible, to relationships and self-purpose—into clear, understandable conversations in real time, helping students process what they hear and see in society alongside what they read in Scripture.
More importantly, The Ambassadors Forum promises a safe and open learning environment where youth are encouraged to ask questions (publicly or privately), think deeply, and leave with a stronger foundation for their faith.

How to navigate hypocrisy and pushback on Christian mindset and beliefs
Intro
There is something in the church that keeps people from considering Christ, causes people to walk away, and followers Jesus find difficult to talk about. Hypocrisy. With pastors, parents, and leaders failing to live the life they teach about it is no wonder this objection to Christianity is being expressed all around the world. However, followers of Jesus don’t have to be stuck on their heels when they hear this objection. This session explores how to take this objection and turn it to a heartfelt and gospel centered conversation.
-
Does Faith stand up to its critics?
Intro
Critics can be tough. Whether it’s in classrooms, online spaces, or conversations with friends, Christianity is frequently challenged by atheistic arguments that will often claim that faith is irrational. Is this actually true, or are there great arguments for believing in God? This talk prepares you for how to present a clear and logical defense for your faith that can stand up to even the toughest challenges.

Understanding the Bible’s reliability through context, history, and critical thinking
The Bible is the foundation of Christian faith, yet many Christians don’t know or understand much of it for themselves. This leads to the inability to explain to others why they believe what they believe and how they know the Bible is TRUE. This workshop will turbo-boost your confidence in your faith and your ability to defend it through a guided presentation and live Q&A.
Meet Your Speakers
Get to know the faces guiding kids, teens, and youth leaders through their big questions to help them grow in understanding, build confidence in their faith, and develop the skills to engage others thoughtfully and compassionately.
Shawn is the guy who notices the little things, but makes them feel important in the biggest of ways: by connecting everything back to God.
It doesn’t matter if he’s with family on a camping trip or in a room of 100 people, Shawn is fully invested in the people surrounding him.
He lives for one’s questions because it means they are thinking deeply about what they believe and he’s here to help turn any doubt or curiosity into confidence and faith. Having spoken at venues across the U.S. and around the globe (13 countries) as an expert on apologetics, he brings experience and wisdom in helping others find answers to their own questions, feel more deeply rooted in their identity, and embolden them to share their faith and help others do the same.
His approach to speaking is sensitive and thoughtful, a leader marked by gentle authority. Shawn has a gift for responding honestly, yet empathetically – making him truly a trusted, sincere guide for those navigating big questions.
An engineer by profession and apologetics leader by passion, Roy believes strong faith is built on the truth that stands up to any critic: The Bible.
Yes, while a degree from MIT and successful career in hi-tech semiconductors impressive achievements, Roy’s greatest strength is his heart for people.
Roy has spent decades helping others grow their faith with both knowledge and confidence, serving as a board chairman, ministry president, Christian school board member, church elder chair, apologetics radio host, and creator of nationally recognized apologetics curriculum, Bible Boot Camp.
What makes Roy’s approach memorable is not just what he teaches, however. It’s how he teaches it.
He asks questions to help students think deeply through things, guiding each conversation in a way that teaches critical thinking so that they can find answers — through history, science, and Scripture — to increase their own understanding of their faith.
He knows how aware and intelligent the youth of today are. He treats each student with respect, while also challenging them to think for themselves and share their beliefs boldly.
Adrian’s apologetics approach comes from one belief: Everyone’s question comes with a story.
He believes simply jumping in to give them the answer is not always helpful. He prefers to dig a little to really understand what’s underneath the surface.
After earning his Master’s in Teaching from Washington State University and working in the public school system, he saw firsthand just how much today’s students are up against.
Since then, Adrian has spent decades listening to youth, understanding the pressures they face, and helping them find answers to hard questions about God, Christianity, culture, and more.
But, his goal is not to sound like the expert in the room. Instead, working and talking directly with students helps him better understand the issues they are dealing with, see trends that are ravaging the church, and be more prepared to support them.
Through his teaching and nearly 30 years of experience in youth ministry, Adrian helps to show youth and leaders how to find answers and make sense of the world around them to build a faith they truly understand, can sharply defend, and share proudly with others.

What Separation From Faith
Does to Youth & Their Leaders
Students are navigating a “cultural mismatch” of conflicting ideas about God, truth, identity, and beliefs.
Meanwhile, the adults leading them are carrying the expectation of being able to guide students in an approachable and relatable way, while still holding firm to biblical truth as a timeless shepherd.
Without the right guidance, they risk carrying confusion, shame, regret, or worse… losing their faith altogether.
And research shows: Nearly 35% of Americans leave their childhood religion by age 30.
With The Ambassadors Forum, youth and leaders can grow in understanding to answer their own questions, gain the confidence to help others explore theirs, and deepen their walk with God.
