Are you near Grand Rapids, Michigan, or Shipshewana, Indiana? If so, I’m inviting you to join me and astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore (author of Stuck in Space) for a Launching Truth event.

The truth of God’s Word is powerful—and it “launches” from Genesis 1–11.

The truth of God’s Word is powerful—and it “launches” from Genesis 1–11. Those chapters, of course, are the foundational chapters for our biblical worldview, the rest of the Bible, the gospel message, and, well, everything! I’ll be sharing about the foundational nature of Genesis, why it matters, how we know we can trust it, and more. Along with me will be my friend Captain Barry Wilmore, who will encourage you not to compromise on the truth of God’s Word. After we speak, there will be a Q&A with both of us.

These two Launching Truth events are free, but we do ask that you register on our events page. Join us in Shipshewana on June 26, 2026, at 6 p.m. or in Grand Rapids on June 27, 2026, at 6 p.m.

Or you could join us July 11, 2026, at the Ark Encounter for our Astronaut Encounter 2 event, featuring myself, Captain Barry Wilmore, Colonel Jeff Williams, General Charlie Duke (who walked on the moon!), and Ray Comfort from Living Waters. This event was incredibly well received last year, and we’re excited to be able to offer it again. Be sure to get your tickets before it sells out.

I hope to see you at one of these events!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
