Doctrine is Worth Dying For
Jamie Dew | Iron on Iron Student Ministry Conference | Friday NightThe world is hostile towards us and what we preach. In this session, Jamie walked through 1 Peter 3, where Peter is speaking to people just like us—Christians living in a world that is against them. Peter encouraged the church to remember it is an honor to suffer for righteousness’ sake. We need to pursue doctrines worth dying for.The devil will pull you away from Christ until you look like the world. Make and keep the Lord the highest loyalty in life. Share the hope you have with those around you. Tell others how Christ has changed you. Remember to be gentle and respectful as you preach. Do it with meekness and fear. Make your only aim in life to please Christ. Resources:1 Peter 3Deuteronomy 6:4-5View full show notes & resources here.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com. P.S.

SWO21: Social Media Breakout
Zach Mabry | SWO21 | BreakoutWith every advancement in technology, there is the opportunity to use it for the Gospel and the temptation to use it for selfish purposes. Social media is no different. With a third of the world on social media, there is definitely an increased opportunity to be a light of the Gospel but there is an obvious inherent danger as well. One of the biggest dangers of social media is that it has become a fundamental part of the world and is being used to promote a narrative that is contrary to the Gospel. We need to be aware of this and we need to be equipped to not get sucked into being taught what and how to think.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com. P.S.

SWO21: Biblical Masculinity
Rob Conti | SWO21 | Guys BreakoutOur culture is trying to redefine what masculinity is. In this breakout, Rob looks at Scripture to see what it means to be a biblical man. This is a God-given responsibility-—not socially designed. This goes against cultural norms in every way. We are called to lead, work, and teach those God has entrusted to us. How you handle today is training you for who you will be for the rest of your life. Our ultimate example is Christ. Prioritize God’s word and treasure it above everything else.

SWO21: Culture & Race Breakout

Are the tools of CRT and Intersectionality useful for putting an end to racism in the U.S.? What even are those things?

Why People Think Youth Ministry is a Joke
Zach Mabry | SWO21 | Youth Pastor BreakoutAll too often youth ministry is seen as JV, shallow, or immature. But the truth of the matter is that those of us in student ministry have an amazing opportunity to impact eternal, image-bearers of God during some of the most formative years of their lives. It is up to us to help steer the discipleship of the students that God has placed in our ministries by pointing them to God and His revealed Word. The “kids” in our ministries are the church of God today and will be the leaders of the church tomorrow. It is imperative for us to take this seriously and apply ourselves fully to this ministry to which we have been called.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com. P.S.

Talking to Students About the Existence of God
Zach Mabry | SWO21 | Youth Pastor BreakoutThe culture we live in is overwhelmed by the tenets of postmodern theory that say that the truth of God’s existence is irrelevant and that whatever you believe is fine for you. But in reality, either God exists or He doesn’t. We need to be equipped to teach our students that not only does God’s existence matter, but it is the most important thing that we need to have settled. There is a fundamental conflict between the Christian worldview and the materialistic worldview and all of our other beliefs find their foundation in this. What we are talking about is a battle of worldviews.In this session, we are going to compare the Christian worldview and the atheistic worldview to show that the more consistently you hold the Christian worldview the more it makes sense of the world we live in, and the more consistently you hold the atheistic worldview the less it actually makes sense of the world in which we live.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com.

Critical Race Theory & Intersectionality
Zach Mabry | SWO21 | Youth Pastor BreakoutHow in the world are we supposed to make sense of all the stuff that we are hearing in the cultural conversation? And more importantly, how should we respond to this with the Gospel? In this session, we will go over the roots of CRT and Intersectionality so that we can understand the terms the world is using. Then we’ll compare them to what Scripture says, with a desire to be biblically informed and equipped to live out the Gospel in our specific contexts.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com.

SWO21: The Steadfast Love of God
Rob Conti | SWO21 | Friday MorningGod’s love is on a completely different level than we could ever imagine. In Exodus 34, Moses had achieved a place of relationship with the Lord that he asked a VERY personal question. He asked to see God with his physical eyes. But this was impossible—the power of Yahweh’s glory would kill him!“The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.’” (Exodus 34:5–9)The steadfast love of Yahweh endures forever. It is eternal! All the fullness of God dwelled in Christ Jesus, and went through Hell and back to take action on that love.When we were rebels against Him, in the perfect time of human history, God died for us! He knows the end from the beginning. Why did he let that pain happen to me? We don’t know why, but we can never question the love of God! There are scars on his hands and feet to prove it.“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly...God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:5-8)So now, let’s repent. Take the posture of David in Psalm 51. “Have mercy on me oh God…” (King David). Jesus already drank the cup of God’s wrath—because he has chosen to love you. Our Lord does not change his mind. There is no sin bigger than God’s love. No person is beyond the reach of his love.Let’s also show our love by our obedience to him. True worship and true faith will also result in obedience to God and his Word. Be encouraged, Christian. We will one day behold all the fullness of God. We will get to see God as truly is—in his place of eternal glory.Resources:Exodus 34Psalm 51Romans 5:5-8Romans 8:31Learn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com. P.S.
