Tripp Almon
Biography

Tripp Almon serves as the Outpost Coordinator and a speaker with Stand to Reason.

He is from Newnan, Georgia (just south of Atlanta) and now lives in Colorado with his wife, Megan, and their kids, Neely and Rogan. Tripp’s passion for educating students of all ages in the areas of Christian theology, worldview, and apologetics is driven in large part from growing up in a Christian home and then struggling profoundly with the tidal wave of cultural ideas that engulfed him as he entered a secular university. Thankfully, his experience taught him that Christianity not only stands in the marketplace of ideas — it soars.

Before joining Stand to Reason, Tripp, a former elite gymnast, coached gymnastics for more than two decades. He served as a pastor for 10 years, and was the Gap Year Director at Summit Ministries for 7 years. He and his family love the outdoors and adventure sports, particularly off-road motorcycling. Tripp is also a rally car co-driver with Almon Brothers Racing Team. He and his brother were 2017 champions of the NASA Rally Atlantic Cup Series. Tripp loves when he and his wife, Megan, get to speak and serve at events together.

Atheist (or Deconstructed Christian) Role play

The purpose of this talk is to give Christian students experience conversing with people who don’t believe like they do, demonstrate they aren’t as prepared as they think they are, and encourage them to pay attention as their primary teachers seek to prepare them to engage the world that is in opposition to Christianity. This talk works very well towards the beginning of the year in a worldview/apologetics/bible type class or in a youth group setting. This talk does create a need for follow up. There needs to be a teacher in place or additional time for me to unpack some of the ideas I throw at them.

Bible, Is it God’s Word?

Is the Bible a book by men about God or is it a book to men by God. (special revelation) I make a cumulative case giving interactive examples of evidence that demonstrates that is most reasonable to conclude that God is the author. We talk about proof, general vs special revelation, 6 evidences to make the case. If there is enough time we talk about transmission of the Biblical text to demonstrate what we have now is what was originally written down.

Does God Exist?

Making a reasonable case for the existence of God from philosophical and scientific reflection. A basic cosmological argument discovered through class discussion.

Snake on a Pole

The purpose of this talk is to encourage students in the Gospel and to increase their desire to read the Bible more deeply. We will go on an adventure in learning by looking at the most popular verse in the Bible (John 3:16) to see that there is much more there to be understood if we look at the context. There is much more depth to what we’ve seen at a surface level for so long. This talk is also easily formulated for a sermon.

Decision making & God’s Will

The purpose would be to encourage students who have many life decisions ahead of them by taking look at how to make Godly decisions. Short version: God cares much more about who you are than what you do. What you do flows from who you are (who God has made you to be). The common, yet fairly new paradigm, of having to discover or decipher God’s decisions he’s already made for you before you can move forward is often misleading, misguided, and constrictive. The Biblical method is liberating, and a much more personal experience (correctly defined) with God.

Jesus, the Only Way?

The culture has some responses and questions regarding the Christian claim that the person and work of Jesus is the only means of salvation.

"That is narrow-minded." "Christians are so arrogant." "All religions are basically the same." "What about those who've never heard of Jesus?" "Are you telling me people go to hell just because they don't believe in Jesus?"

In this session we will explore this exclusive claim of Christianity, discuss these objections, and more.

The War Out There

This talk is an attempt to enlighten and motivate students and parents to be aware and prepared for the battle going on in the unseen realm of ideas and to make sure they are prepared to survive and thrive when they leave their familiar Christian bubble (family, church, school) and step foot into the secular realm.

Introduction to Worldview

In a culture that is full of ideas coming at us from every direction in can be hard to know which way is up let alone make a stand for one's Christian convictions. This talk explores what a worldview is, the importance of having one that lines up with reality, and how to spot false ones. The audience will be encouraged to move forward in this seemingly daunting task by learning to look for patterns of ideas that will allow them to begin advancing the Christian worldview in their own lives as well as the culture around them. This talk works great as a stand alone or can be used as a set up to a series of talks that delve further into specific and opposing worldviews.

5 Worldview talks

These could be given as stand alone talks or in succession following the Intro to Worldview talk. The aim would be to help equip students to recognize worldview promoted in the culture and to know how to respond and engage with them in a winsome manner.

• Christian

• Secular

• Marxist

• Post Modern

• New Spiritual

Generosity & Giving

What does the Bible have to say about generosity and giving? There is a lot of baggage Christians have from bad teaching or guilt driven calls to be generous. What does Jesus think of this? What does Biblical history have to say about Tithe? How does the Bible encourage us to be generous in light of the Gospel?

The Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity can be quite confusing - some would even say illogical. How do we make sense of this important doctrine and what implications does it have on who we are, the God we serve, and our relationships?

What hills should we die on? (discussion)

Sometimes we get caught up trying to defend the beliefs that aren’t worth fighting over. How do we distinguish between essential, closed-handed, and open-handed issues? This is an interactive/discussion oriented talk that will help develop critical thinking skills when it comes to the importance of “Christian” beliefs so we can be more effective in conversations.

The Resurrection

A B.E.A.R. of an Argument

According to Paul, Christianity hinges on the Resurrection of Jesus. If he didn’t rise from the dead, our faith is in vain. If he did…it changes everything. Learn to argue for the validity of the Resurrection of Christ using the minimal facts that even the toughest critics of Christianity accept as historically accurate.

Good God, Why Evil?

This talk addresses the argument that since evil exists then a God who is all powerful and all good does not exist. We interactively deal with this argument on an intellectual level by addressing a typically proposed syllogism. We finish by talking about how to deal with individuals who are making this claim. Often what sounds like an intellectual objection is often an emotional one. The attempt will be to deal with this issue at a head (intellectual), heart (relational), hands (practical) level.

The Gospel and the Ditches

The Good News is "of first importance" therefore we must make sure we understand it - for ourselves and to communicate it properly. The Gospel has two equal and opposite enemies (legalism & relativism) and we must make sure we keep it “between the ditches” and not confuse the Gospel with the results of the Gospel. This talk aims to help audiences understand the grace of God and help them to communicate the Gospel in a clear way that allows deeper understanding of our part in God’s story.

What About Evolution?

An introduction to thinking well about evolution and Intelligent Design. As it turns out the General Theory of Evolution is more Philosophical than Scientific. In this talk we wills see that macro-evolution depends on two pillars that don’t hold up - 1. Life from non-life 2. Change from simple to complex organisms. Finally, we will quickly examine there lines of positive evidence that macro-evolution is not true and that intelligent design is a more reasonable conclusion.

Bare Image, or Image Bearer?

Pornography has had a tremendous influence on our culture. What harm has it caused? Why is it a big deal? What should we do about it? How do we break addictions and support others who are seeking help?
