Many people, both Christians and non-Christians, struggle with doubt. There are a lot of misconceptions about what doubt is, what causes it, what the implications of it are, and how to respond to it. This breakout session will encourage people to keep asking honest questions while showing how you can faithfully follow Jesus in the midst of your questions.
In the super single phase? Just dating phase? Or planning on marrying phase? Our aim is to talk through as many questions in these categories as possible. No matter which category a person falls into, our hope is that this panel would be helpful in giving wisdom on how to practically go about singleness and dating with a gospel lens.

Both in our campuses and our world, anxiety is one of the leading mental health issues of our day. At the same time it is one of the fastest pathways that can lead us deeper into the arms of Christ. Come for an honest conversation about mental health and the one who has promised to walk with us until we are set free.
If you want to make a Christian feel guilty, just ask them about their prayer life. But the good news is that we are all beginners when it comes to following Jesus, especially in the area of prayer. So, we're going to attempt a guilt-free, practical approach to talking about prayer. The goal is that we all leave encouraged and helped in our pursuit of Jesus through prayer.

The highest aim in our culture today is arguably the pursuit of personal fulfillment.

Have you ever asked the question, “What do I do now?” when someone confesses sin, surfaces a struggle with depression, or admits that they're in a season of suffering, pain, loss, hurt, or crisis?
