Closing Keynote
Now What?: Practical Conversations for Building Lifelong Faith | Porn, Gossip, and Gender
David Eaton

Think of the closing keynote as something you watch when you're done with the summit. But, also think of it as something you could watch now to get more encouragement on how to think about these complex issues that our speakers are talking about. 

In this session David gives practical recommendations for how parents can effectively start important conversations with their teens on some of the most important topics. He uses the topics of Porn, Gossip, and Gender as "conversation labs" for how we can have effective conversations with our teens on vital topics for the sake of building their faith in Jesus for life.
