Presenting the seminar titled "Mormonism, Christianity, & Me"
|
The primary vehicle Brad Melton Ministries uses to restore families, renew the church, and impact the culture for Christ is by teaching seminars and conferences to Christian groups.
SEMINARS
All seminars are intended for general audiences and last about two hours, but Brad is able to vary the format and length of his presentations to suit youth and college audiences as well. The following seminars are currently available:
Mormonism, Christianity, & Me
A Journey to Grace
In this multi-media seminar, Brad explains who the Mormons are culturally and historically, shares his own deeply personal journey into and out of Mormonism, compares several Mormon and Christian doctrines (God, Jesus, Salvation, Priesthood, Scripture), exposes what takes place in secret temple ceremonies, provides a first- hand look at Mormon garments and temple clothing, explains why Christians convert to Mormonism and the reality of life on the inside, explores major challenges to Mormonism, and equips Christians to more effectively witness to Mormons. This seminar is intended to educate and equip Christians and is not an effective outreach to Mormons. Please see our flyer for additional information
What is the Bible and Why Does it Matter?
A Case for Biblical Authority
After experiencing life in a cult and fighting for orthodoxy within a liberal denomination, Brad knows first-hand that the Truth of God matters and that it is critically important for Christians to trust in and defend the Bible as the inspired, sufficient, and inerrant Word of God. In this seminar, he lays a solid foundation for a belief in Biblical Authority, which refutes many of the false presuppositions held by cult members, liberal Christians, and the secular culture. The Bible is the final arbiter in all matters of life and faith, and the practical application of this belief is a Biblical Worldview and a powerful incarnational witness to a watching world.

HOME-GROWN DISCIPLES: Developing an Intentional Evangelism and Disciple-Making Plan for your Family
THE PROBLEM: Only 9% of Born Again teenagers believe in absolute truth and 70% to 90% of children from evangelical homes leave the faith within two years of high school graduation.
THE PLAN: Join Brad, a former Youth and College pastor of five years and a father of three, as he explains what’s wrong with the status quo, evaluates the competition for our children’s souls, teaches what the Bible says about families and raising children in the faith, and equips parents by providing them with an intentional and biblical family-based evangelism and disciple-making plan to make HOME-GROWN DISCIPLES!

Does God Exist?
A Christian Response to Atheism
Do you have to check your brain at the door to believe in God? That's certainly the message many in the culture are sending to Christians these days. In this seminar, Brad explains that both Christians and atheists hold to presuppositions about the nature of reality, however, atheists set themselves up as being independent judges of truth when demanding proof, but they are neither neutral nor objective about what evidence they will accept. At the same time, atheists are inconsistent because they cannot provide a clear and coherant explanation for the universe that does not borrow from the Christian worldview. Brad points out some of the scientific, existential, and other philosophical problems with atheism and provides five cogent arguments for God's existence.
Does Truth Exist?
A Christian Response to Moral Relativism and Religious Pluralism
Our culture is full of bankrupt philosophies such as "truth is relative" and "all religions lead to the same God." Unfortunately, many Christians have bought into these lies because they have never stopped to examine their own assumptions to see if they are Biblical or even if they are rational. In this seminar, Brad seeks to eradicate moral relativism and religious pluralism from the church. He begins by explaining the differences between cultural and individual relativism, lays out some of the major challenges confronting moral relativists, examines how moral relativism has adversely impacted our culture, and concludes with ideas for refuting it. Brad also argues that Jesus is the only way to salvation and points out the problems inherent within competing viewpoints. In addition, Jesus and the precepts of Biblical Christianity are compared with the founders and precepts of the other world religions.
One Nation Under God
Rediscovering and Recovering America's Christian Heritage
We live in a nation founded by those who held a Biblical Worldview and our most cherished freedoms come from this Christian heritage. In this seminar, Brad reaffirms God's providential hand in the founding of our Christian nation through those who settled it, as well as through the writings and speeches of our founding fathers and those that influenced them. Sadly, many in our nation are using the very freedoms that came from this Christian heritage to destroy the influence of the one and only faith that can preserve these liberties. America has degenerated into a nation where our children are indoctrinated by the secular state, where the least of these are not protected, where sexual immorality runs rampant, where idolatry is the norm, and where the church has become anemic and ineffective. The seminar concludes with what we can do as believers in Jesus Christ to recover our nation's Godly heritage one family at a time.
