With culture telling teens that science disproves faith, Allan Pereira steps in with a creative solution. Through the the new series, 'The Science Dilemma,' Allan shows how students can be equipped to understand God's design through the lens of science. Learn how video storytelling, critical thinking, and theology work together to build resilient faith. Discover how to engage teens in vital conversations at the dinner table, in the classroom, or through social media.

About the Guest

Allan Pereira is the co-creator and host of The Science Dilemma, a digital video series that challenges Gen Z and Alpha to think critically about science through a biblical worldview. With a background in youth ministry, content creation, and digital strategy, Allan empowers families, students, and leaders to defend their faith with confidence in today’s skeptical culture.

Reasons to Listen

1. Faith Meets Science – Learn how biblical truth and scientific reasoning can coexist and complement one another in conversations with youth.
2. Equip the Next Generation – Get practical tools and ideas for helping students and children stand strong in their faith in classrooms and conversations.
3. Relatable & Real – Hear compelling stories and real-life encounters that show how faith-based thinking can thrive in a skeptical digital world.

Big Takeaways

1. Truth is Foundational – Prioritizing truth equips students to seek and find answers, not just absorb opinions.
2. Critical Thinking is Key – Teaching young people how to think, not what to think, is essential for spiritual and intellectual maturity.
3. Science Reflects the Creator – DNA, fossil records, and irreducible complexity all point toward intelligent design and the hand of God.
4. Use Media Intentionally – Short-form, digital content can be a powerful tool for discipleship and evangelism when used wisely.
5. Equip, Don’t Avoid – Parents don’t need all the answers—they need a willingness to explore questions and learn alongside their children.

Missional Challenges

1. Start Faith Conversations at Home – Set aside time this week to ask your kids what they’re learning in school about science—and invite biblical conversation.
2. Share a Resource – Send a video from The Science Dilemma to a fellow parent or youth leader who might benefit from it.
3. Engage with the Questions – Don’t shy away from hard questions. Ask your children or students what their biggest doubts are—and explore the answers together.
