Room 302–306
World Changers
Sol Rexius & Graham Spruill
How do I change the world? All of us want our lives to make a difference and have asked that question in some form. One author answers that question with this simple 2-word answer: faithful presence. But what does that mean? And how do we do it well? This breakout will discuss what it means to change the world and be a faithful presence wherever God has you.
Room 312–316
Confidence in The Bible
Paul Sabino
All our faith rests on the trustworthiness of the Bible, but can it be trusted? At times, we all have our doubts. So for those who are in that place, have friends who doubt, or just want to grow in their confidence in God’s word, join us as we take a deeper dive into the uniqueness of our Bibles and examine the evidence that makes it worthy of our trust.
Room 317–320
Dating

Room 101–103
Fighting Sin
Zach Cunningham and Andrew Hager
What hope do we have to overcome the sin and failure in our lives? How can we be free from the things that hold us back? Come hear how the Bible encourages us to victory and freedom in our fight against sin.
Room 104–106
Loneliness
Nick Harsh and Hannah Beth Gilbert
Most college students carry sadness from a lack of friendships in their lives – and don’t know what to do next. What is the path forward for someone feeling lonely? What does it look like to build godly friendships instead of living in isolation? During this breakout, we’ll talk about why loneliness is so pervasive on the college campus – and how the love of God gives us courage to share our lives with others
Room 107–108
Worry & Stress
Tony Lee and Kourtney Vier
The predominate pathways of processing worry & stress have historically been lined with two ways of thinking, the first being that worry and stress is all due to the individual, the other being that worry and stress is all due to culture. This breakout seeks to give clarity on how to understand culture and the self, while pursing peace in a world of worry & stress.
Breakout Two
1:30 P.M.
Hall B
Confronting Christianity
Jake Each
What are the issues that make Christianity seem so offensive to our world today? More importantly, why do we feel that way? And what should be our response to this? Join this breakout for a unique perspective on confronting Christianity.
Room 302–306
Confidence in the Bible
Paul Sabino
All our faith rests on the trustworthiness of the Bible, but can it be trusted? At times, we all have our doubts. So for those who are in that place, have friends who doubt, or just want to grow in their confidence in God’s word, join us as we take a deeper dive into the uniqueness of our Bibles and examine the evidence that makes it worthy of our trust.
Room 307–310
Alcohol
Luke Peterson
You will have to make decisions about alcohol for the rest of your life. Is God for it? Does He want to protect you from it? Is it different for different people? We want to help you navigate all of your decisions around alcohol with wisdom and confidence.
Room 312–316
Navigating an Over-Sexualized World
Brent Minter and Kari Minter
Everywhere we look sex and sexuality are promoted and celebrated. It has become the core of our desires and even crept into our identity. The Christ follower is increasingly in a hostile place as we try to remain faithful to the teachings of God in a culture that hypes and embraces sexual beliefs and practices that go against the scripture’s clear teachings. Join us as we discuss how to remain faithful to the Lord in a culture that is constantly tempting you.
Room 317–320
Rest and Boundaries
Jordan Adams and Molly Hartmann
Our world is geared to lead us into hurry and burnout, but Jesus said: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” In this breakout, come learn how to live into the rest of Christ and how that is better than self-help.
Room 101–103
Worry and Stress
Tony Lee and Kourtney Vier
The predominate pathways of processing worry & stress have historically been lined with two ways of thinking, the first being that worry and stress is all due to the individual, the other being that worry and stress is all due to culture. This breakout seeks to give clarity on how to understand culture and the self, while pursing peace in a world of worry & stress.
Room 104–106
Politics
Alex Tuckness
What does the Bible teach us about how Christians should think about politics? This session explores how we can get beyond partisan talking points to explore what the Bible says about political identity, true freedom, and principles for how to engage with contemporary politics fueled by God’s love rather than human fear.
Room 107–108
Social Media
Aaron Nelson, Drake Daniels, and Larissa Wach
An ever present opportunity for connection has left us disconnected from the world around us. But social media isn’t going anywhere; so how can we, as Christ followers, leverage it for kingdom purposes and participate in it in healthy ways.
Breakout Three
2:30 P.M.
Hall B
Sexual Identity
Jake Hering
Does God care about sexual identity? If so, why does He care and how does the gospel bring clarity and meaning to our sexuality?
Room 302–306
Prayer
Vance Pitman
E.M. Bounds said, ‘The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.’ Come learn why we say that we don’t pray before we work – prayer is the work, and then God works.
Room 307–310
Family Brokenness
Austin Edwards
Jesus loves planting new family trees and writing beautiful stories from broken homes. Through the Gospel, where we came from doesn’t have to dictate where we’re going. So, what would it look like to embrace our messy upbringings and anticipate God’s grace to transform our family, our past, and our future?
Room 312–316
Suffering
Skyler Kilzer
From death to getting dumped, life is full of all kinds of suffering. How do we understand our pain? And how do we get through it without giving up?
Room 317–320
Politics
Alex Tuckness
What does the Bible teach us about how Christians should think about politics? This session explores how we can get beyond partisan talking points to explore what the Bible says about political identity, true freedom, and principles for how to engage with contemporary politics fueled by God’s love rather than human fear.

Global Missions
Rudy Hartmann
Should I go overseas?” is a common question. Have you ever wondered what God could do with your yes? Eternity is a long time – and everyone spends it somewhere. In this breakout, we’ll talk about the Global need for the Gospel, the opportunity of Global Missions, potential barriers to going (and how to overcome them), and how you can align your life in college and after graduation with the heart of God.
