Biography
Tripp Almon relocated to the great state of Colorado with his wife, Megan, and their kids, Neely and Rogan, from the little town of Newnan, Georgia — just south of Atlanta. Tripp’s passion for educating students in the areas of Christian theology, worldview, and apologetics grew 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. Since then, he and Megan, an apologist and speaker with Life Training Institute, have sought to cultivate environments where students feel the freedom to ask big questions and are encouraged to pursue real answers. Before joining Summit as the Director of the Gap Year Program, Tripp, a former elite gymnast, coached gymnastics for over two decades and served as a pastor for 10 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 — 2017 champions of the NASA Rally Atlantic Cup Series.

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.
If 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.
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.
