There are lots of great topics so far (I’m at 52:23); including atheism, Molinism, free will, determinism, counterfactuals and possible worlds, postmodernism vs. modernism, and etc.
Dr. Craig was interviewed by some of the folks at Reasons to Believe who have differing viewpoints from him. The differences of view make for a lively discussion. Plus, the interviewers threw in some atheist responses to Craig’s arguments to see how he would answer.

What a great three days we had this past week at our very first Student Apologetics Training Camp! This was a camp we put together with the Reasonable Faith chapter in Houston. The students asked some really hard questions on some tough subjects: Pagan Myth Theory, Introduction to Islam, Arguments for the Existence of God (Moral Law, Teleological, Kalam), Sin and the Human Response, the Reliability of the New Testament, and more. Then I turned the questioning around on them as I played ‘devil’s advocate’ on the arguments they had learned. It was simply a great time!
One aspect of this camp really impressed me. We did not have a cool t-shirt, or a big name band, or any games, or any specific push to be ‘relevant’ to teenagers. Even so, the camp kept growing in numbers from day one onward. Wow! We definitely are going to do this camp again!
If you’d like to do something like this at your church, please let us know how we can help you.
