Andy Steiger
Founder and President of Apologetics Canada
Author, “Reclaimed”
Andy has published widely from children’s books to the Supreme Court Law Review. His most recent book, Reclaimed: How Jesus Restores Our Humanity in a Dehumanized World was awarded runner up to evangelistic resource of the year. Andy is known for making complex theological and philosophical ideas understandable through the art of storytelling as seen in AC’s video resources.
In his book, Reclaimed, Andy Steiger points to Jesus as the basis for rediscovering our common ground and our shared humanity. In Jesus we find not only that humans are unique, valuable, and bearers of rights and responsibilities, but also that our dehumanizing tendencies--our worst inclinations toward inhumanity--can be redeemed and restored. Jesus enables us to be fully human, and it's in him that we rediscover the kind of relationships and society for which so many people today are longing.

Silas Allen
Youth Ministries and Outreach Coordinator
Northridge Community Church
As Silas pastors the next generation of believers at Northridge Community Church, he can see that they are more than the church of tomorrow- they are the church of today. He sees these youth, being shaped by digital skepticism in a world claiming to have all the answers, becoming critical thinkers who want to dive deep into truth and discover something real. It is in these questions he finds deep joy in journeying with young people as they come to know the God who knows them best, and what this “life to the full” (John 10:10) is that He has invited us into.
