The Bodmer Papyri p66/75

Travel back to the earliest centuries of Christianity through two of the most important New Testament discoveries ever made: Papyrus 66 (P66) and Papyrus 75 (P75). In this class, we will examine these remarkable Bodmer papyri—ancient manuscripts that preserve large portions of Luke and John and date to within a few generations of the originals. Students will explore the manuscripts as physical artifacts while also discovering what their texts reveal about the early transmission of the New Testament. Join us as we handle the evidence that brings us strikingly close to the earliest form of the Gospel text and the world of the first Christian readers.

Bible Villains: Balaam -- The Prophet for Profit
Wednesday July 15, 2026 1:30pm - 2:00pm CDT
“There are none so Blind, as those who refuse to see,” might well have been said of Balaam, the Prophet for Profit. From his refusal to follow what he already knew, to his inability to see the Angel, to his self-destructive sin, Balam persisted in doing what he knew was wrong. New Testament Christians often seem perplexed as to why he persisted in his ways. The question before us is, can we learn from him? Are we ever affected by the same willful blindness? If we are, what is the remedy? Join Mark Weaver as we go on a sad but fascinating journey into the all too human heart of the mad prophet.

“Convince Me”: Church Discipline Is Loving and Needs to Be Practiced
Wednesday July 15, 2026 1:30pm - 2:00pm CDT
Every commandment God has given us is for "our good always" (Deuteronomy 6:24). Sometimes, following God's instructions might not feel "good," but God wants what is best for all His people, and He knows the best way to achieve that. Church discipline is one of the hardest, but most loving and powerful, actions that Christians can take to show their love for each other and God.

Many assume the Old Testament presents a harsh God and the New Testament introduces grace. Scripture itself tells a different story.

Wednesday July 15, 2026 3:45pm - 4:30pm CDT
Artificial intelligence is becoming a common tool for research, writing, and Bible study, but it must be used with care. This session will explore how AI can assist with organization, comparison, research, and lesson preparation, while also addressing inaccurate answers, hidden theological assumptions, overreliance, and doctrinal concerns. The goal is to help ministers, teachers, and church leaders use AI wisely without allowing it to replace careful personal study of Scripture.

When the Home Is Broken—and the Heart Is Too: Ministering to Youth Who Come from Broken and/or Parentless Homes
Wednesday July 15, 2026 3:45pm - 4:30pm CDT
Many teens are carrying wounds formed long before they ever walked into a church building—absent parents, unstable homes, shifting caregivers, or a deep sense of not being chosen. This session explores how those experiences shape trust, authority, faith, and behavior. We will talk about what not to assume, what Scripture does and does not promise, and how youth workers can offer stability, presence, and hope without trying to replace what has been lost.
