Living a Lifestyle of Worship: From Grave Clothes to Battle Gear

It's Not Just You:
Women & Sexuality
(Women Only)
Ashley Chesnut
(First Weekend Only)
How does the gospel offer hope and help to those struggling with sexual temptation? How do we deal with guilt and shame because of sin? Are we always going to struggle with porn, sex addiction, same sex attraction, etc.? Join us as we address these questions, discover God's design for sexuality, and unpack how we can experience His forgiveness, restoration, and peace, no matter our sin struggle.
How to Win the War Within
(Both Genders)
Ashley Chesnut
(First Weekend Only)
How do we discern the difference between symptoms of sin and the root issue? We all battle sin, but how can we take steps to fight well? Learn how to identify the thoughts and beliefs that drive your behavior and be equipped to dispute false beliefs and to "win the war within."
Sexual Freedom
& God’s Grace
(Women Only)
Maddy Crawford
(Second Weekend Only)
As women, we face constant messages about sex—on campus, online, and even in our own thoughts. But what does the gospel really have to say when we’re struggling with temptation? How do we process the guilt and shame after we’ve messed up? Is it possible to be free from things like porn, sexual addiction, or same-sex attraction? Together, we’ll unpack God’s beautiful design for our sexuality, learn how His grace covers our failures, and discover the freedom and peace He offers—no matter our past or present struggles.
Sexual Wholeness
(Men Only)
Brooke Beyer
What does it look like to walk in sexual wholeness? You may feel hopeless in your struggle with sexual brokenness and that sexual wholeness is unattainable. However, Jesus tells us that "with God all things are possible.” Come join us as we discuss God’s intent for sex and his path to sexual wholeness.
Deep Friendships in the Journey of Faith
David Irons, Jim Woods,
Hope Reasoner, Josie McFall
Our world is more connected than ever with the constant presence of phones, social media, and more. Yet, it seems we are more lonely than ever. Even in a college environment, many people seem to find themselves feeling alone in a crowded room. Others may say they have a lot of friends they do fun things with, but don't feel like they are "going deep" with anyone. How do we cultivate friendships that are deep, meaningful, and point us towards finding satisfaction in Jesus? In this workshop, you will hear from a panel of people about how to pursue and develop these kinds of friendships. We will discuss practical ideas and principles from God's word about getting deeply connected to people and how to build deep friendships. We will also have a lot of time for questions.
Carrying the Message of the Messiah into Every Sphere of Life
Rusty Cryer
This breakout session is designed to help you navigate questions, tactics, and strategies for being active with the Good News of the Messiah (the Best News) where you live, study, and work.
Feasting at God's Table
Marci Painter
Just as we need nutritious food each day in order to have a healthy and strong physical body, we need God's Word to feed our minds and souls with spiritual food, the "Bread of Life" (John 6:35). Come learn how to begin a simple, sustainable habit of reading the Bible and praying to God daily
Understanding the Storyline of the Bible
Robbie Nutter
Does the Bible ever feel overwhelming to you when you try and read it? Sometimes it helps to remember that every verse in the Bible fits into one great story, and every scene points to Jesus. In this breakout, we will talk about the meta narrative of the Bible, how Jesus is the main character from beginning to end, and tips on how to engage with God as you read His Word.
