We talk about what we think about, and we think about what we love. How can we look deep inside to see what we really are? All we need to do is listen! Why? Because our tongue is a tattle-tale of our hearts.

We can never underestimate the importance and necessity of reading. READ. Read. Examine. Apply. Do. The key to retention is unlocked in this session that encourages all students to read, examine, apply, and do what they read from the Word of God.

Faith is blind, hope is wishful thinking, love is love, the Gospel is to love people. You may have heard these phrases or similar ones used outside (or even inside the church). However, an important overlooked question is, "What is the biblical understanding and definition of these terms?" In this session we will use interactive role plays to wrestle through a biblical understanding of each term and ideas of how to communicate the truth of these terms in an increasingly anti- Christian and biblically illiterate world.

The ultimate need of every student is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You know Christ—but do you have the courage, compassion, and confidence to clearly present His plan of redemption with your students? Knowing that God has not given us the spirit of fear, what does He give us instead?

Two years from now, we will do what we love! When we are consumed with the "Shema" by loving God and others, we do well. When we get tired and distracted and start loving self, more than others, we struggle. What is the key to "increasing in our love for God"?

Whether towering mountains, a giant canyon, a tropical reef, or your local park, there is a profound beauty in nature. There is also a brokenness in the created world. Whether disease, disaster, or man-made destruction, we know that the world should not be this way. Critics of Christianity miss the implications of the beauty in the world and use elements of the brokenness to reject God. However, our intuitions about both beauty and brokenness point to the reality of God. In this session we will discuss the evidence for God and the Gospel from the beauty and brokenness of the world.
