Defending, Defending Life – October 23-25, 2026
Join us for our fall event, Defending, Defending Life, held with Higher Things at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne!
Being right about life issues isn’t enough.
Anyone can hold a sign, but what happens when someone you love doesn’t agree with you?
What happens when the conversation gets complicated by trauma, relationship, and real life?
What happens when the right answer isn’t the same thing as a helpful one?
Defending, Defending Life is a young adult retreat presented by HT Beyond and YA for Life. It is for those who want to do more than win arguments and those who want to be equipped to have conversations rooted in the God who bled and died for every sinner on every side of the issue.
Join us at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, October 23-25, 2026, for a weekend of worshiping, learning, and spending time together as we join under the cross of Christ to defend life. Open to young adults ages 18-30, registration is NOW OPEN!
Registration closes September 21st!
This event will help you learn more about defending life from a Gospel-motivated perspective, meet other for-life young adults, and worship our God of LIFE.
Keep an eye on our website and social media pages for more information!
