Downtown Discourse
Conversations that Matter
Up Next:
Truth is not relative. It is not a noun that needs, or should have, adjectives in front of it like “mine” and “yours”. Truth is. And this moment in history offers a critical opportunity for Christians globally to ensure the culture knows it -- and the incredible difference it can make in the lives we lead.
The Christian worldview says Truth isn’t constructed by our experiences and feelings, but exists not in merely a set of logical propositions or mathematical formulas. It is a person. It is Jesus.
“What kind of world would unfold if smart, determined people lived as if Jesus really was the Truth?”
Dr. Myers will share stories of the difference Christians have made during challenging times when they rested firmly on the idea that Truth can be known.
Bio: Dr. Jeff Myers is president of Summit Ministries. As an educator and entrepreneur, Dr. Myers has become one of America’s most respected authorities on youth leadership development. Focus on the Family founder James Dobson referred to him as “a very gifted and inspirational leader.” Evangelist Josh McDowell called him “a man who is 100% sold out to preparing the next generation to reflect the character of Christ in the culture.” Through his speaking engagements and media appearances, Dr. Myers has become a fresh voice offering humor and insight from a Christian worldview. He is the author of 14 books, including the Understanding the Faith, Understanding the Times, and Understanding the Culture textbooks which are studied by tens of thousands of students. Dr. Myers holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Denver. He continues to engage college students through an exclusive Signature Leadership Course series offered with Unbound, a project-based education company that prepares high school and college students to become leaders for Christ in the real world. Jeff and his wife Stephanie and their family live in Colorado.

Downtown Discourse evenings are free and open to the public.
- How do we navigate gender ideology in the schools?
- What do we tell our kids to do when they are required to use pronouns that don’t match with reality?
- Are these questions familiar to you?
- Are you wondering what to do about these questions and the gender ideology that has become the assumed norm?
Members of the community met on September 1st from 6:30-8 for Sex and Gender in Education. John Stonestreet walked us through why Christianity makes the most sense of identity and is the best story for us and for our neighbors because it matches reality. During this evening we walked through the big picture of reality and how to address the issues of the moment.
Also participating in the lecture was lawyer Ian Speir, who provided a brief overview of parents' rights in education, with a focus on facility, bathroom, and pronoun policies at school, curriculum transparency, and opting out of sex ed.
