Speaker: Andy Cimbala - As human beings, we’re deeply limited. We can only be in one place at a time, we have to sleep, it takes years to get through college, and we often experience illness, tiredness, or weakness. And yet our culture demands strength and ties our self-worth into our performance, which leads to anxiety, overwork, and sometimes burnout. Join us as we explore how the gospel speaks into our weakness and limits, and experience the good news of God’s grace.Want a copy of the packet? Find it here.

Speaker: Zack Gugenheim - “I will never do that again. I never want to do that again. I just did it again. How could God love me?” Have you ever felt stuck in this pattern? You resolve to never do something again, only to find yourself back to longing for the same sins and patterns you just resolved to stop, wondering how God could ever love someone who does this. What if God still loves? What if His grace is far more powerful than you could imagine? What if there is hope even when you’ve failed for the 1000th time? Let’s find hope together, and find the God of grace who not only promises to change us, but gives us a deeper satisfaction of our desires.Want a copy of the packet? Find it here.

Speaker: Clint Watkins - We are often pressured to suppress feelings like grief, depression, sadness, and anxiety. But God does not ask us to conceal our sorrow. He invites us to share our struggles through lament. Biblical lament reshapes our idea of strong faith—some of the most steadfast believers look at the world through tears and walk with a limp. Come learn how you can find rugged hope through honest faith.Want a copy of the packet? Find it here.

Speakers: David and Megan Royes - Dating. Sigh. The idea evokes such excitement, but also dread, confusion, and an abundance of questions. People for generations have wrestled with the exhilarating, mysterious, and sometimes painful topic of romance. But what happens when you add in a culture of smartphones and social media, with virtual relationships literally at your fingertips? This breakout session explores how to navigate the currents of our culture and the desires of our own hearts, while holding fast to the wisdom of the Scriptures and the security of knowing God.Want a copy of the packet?

Speaker: Tori Zbinden - Have you ever had an anxious thought that you found difficult to push from your mind? A thought that keeps you up at night? That takes up free rent inside your mind?

Speaker: Kaylah Olshefsky - Praying can make you feel vulnerable. Maybe that’s because you don’t know what to say, or perhaps you have a hard time believing that God is a good Father who cares for his children. No matter where you are in your walk with God, Jesus has made a way and offers us a free invitation to pray to him. Join me as we explore what it means to believe that promise and respond to His invitation.Want a copy of the packet? Find it here.

Speaker: Lincoln Fitch - Our default setting is to see the world as if what we see with our eyes is all there is. We go to class, work, and even church with little awareness of the spiritual forces that are at work in the world. The Bible shows us that our world is bigger, deeper, and darker. Yet God is doing something epic, something cosmic, to save it. And you and I have a role to play. Together we will see, from Revelation 12, how the perspective of heaven reshapes how we see the world.Want a copy of the packet? Find it here.
