John Stonestreet – Full Banquet Keynote Speech

At the 2026 Pittsburgh Friends of the Family Banquet, John Stonestreet delivered a timely and deeply grounded message on how to live with clarity, courage, and hope in today’s culture. Drawing from the legacy of Chuck Colson and the mission of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, Stonestreet challenged us to see our cultural moment through the bigger story of Scripture. He showed us how truth is rising, and how we have a responsibility to step into that truth. Stonestreet points to four unshakable truths: Christ is risen — the defining reality of history. Christ is Lord — no matter what voices compete for authority. Christ is making all things new— even when outcomes seem uncertain. You are here on purpose — called to this time and this place. Stonestreet called us to engage with challenges in culture, live with conviction and not fear, and embrace our role as ambassadors of reconciliation. This moment is your calling. ▶️ Watch the full keynote and be encouraged to live with clarity, courage, and conviction right where you are.
