Guest Speaker
Rev. Father Adam Roberts
Rev. Father Adam Roberts currently serves as President of St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology and pastor of St. Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church in Katy, TX. He co-founded Camp St. Thekla, authored several books, and has hosted the Go Forth podcast on Ancient Faith Radio, as well as the Stories That Work live broadcast for the Department of Missions and Evangelism. Father Adam’s approach to evangelism is deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition while being practical and relevant for today. He emphasizes that Orthodoxy itself is evangelism, as taught by St. John Chrysostom, and frames evangelism not as a daunting task but as an opportunity to build relationships, share personal stories, and plant seeds of faith.
