11:45 AM
Ballroom A (400 level)
How to Repent
Sol Rexius and Laura Wiffler
Repentance isn’t about shame—it’s about finding freedom and life in God’s grace. Together we’ll talk honestly about turning from sin, receiving forgiveness, and walking in the joy of restoration.
Ballroom B (400 level)
How to Pray
Paul Sabino
So many of us struggle to pray. We know that joy and life-changing power flow from prayer, but how? Jesus wants to meet us where we are and help us to take real steps forward. Join with others as we learn to commune with God through life giving prayer.
Junior Ballroom (100 level)
How to Read and Memorize the bible
Brent and Kari Minter
What if remembering Scripture felt as natural as checking your phone? In this breakout, you’ll learn simple, lasting habits to hear, read, and memorize God’s Word—so it sticks through exams, friendships, and life’s biggest decisions
Main Hall (200 level)
How to Resist temptation
Sam Allberry
The Bible shows us that temptation is an expected part of life. Thankfully, the Bible also gives us huge help in resisting temptation. In this breakout we’ll look at some of the wisdom and encouragement God has for us.
Room 312–316 (300 level)
How to share the gospel
Josiah Sabino and Andrew Hager
God has given his people a command – Go and make disciples. In order to begin doing this, we must share the gospel. But how and where do we even start? This breakout will give you the courage you need to share the gospel and the practical skills to do it well.
Room 317–320 (300 level)
How to build friendships
Brandon Johnson and Jack Bertilson
It’s often said that you’re the sum total of your five closest friends. So who are your closest friends and how can you build friendships that don’t fade after college but actually last a lifetime? In this breakout, we’ll look at the importance of Jesus-centered friendships and how they can shape every part of your life.
Breakout Two
1:30 PM
1:30 PM
Ballroom A (400 level)
Faithfulness + Dating
Jeff Dodge
Over and over, the Scriptures tell us to look for, cherish, and hold on to wisdom – so what does it look like to date wisely? In this breakout, we’ll distill decades of discipleship into a few key ways that you can practice faithfulness and wisdom in dating.
Ballroom B (400 level)
Faithfulness + Social Media
Skyler Kilzer
How can we look more like Jesus when your phone constantly wants you to look more at X? In this breakout, we’ll learn how to follow God in a world that never stops scrolling. We’ll see how social media is shaping us and how the Bible gives us a better way to live.
Junior Ballroom (100 level)
Faithfulness + work and school
Rudy Hartmann and Julianna Haugen
“What’s the point?’ is a question that can come up for everyone regarding work and school — and with over 100,000 hours ahead of you between the two, it’s worth taking time to answer. In this breakout, we’ll explore the purpose and problem of work, highlight common ditches to watch out for, and help you build a bigger vision for both.
Main Hall (200 level)
Faithfulness + Gender and Sexuality
Sam Allberry
We live in a time of enormous confusion about gender and sexuality. In this breakout we’ll look at what Jesus has to say about these questions, what it means to follow his teaching, and how we can be people of grace and truth in our culture today.
Room 312–316 (300 level)
Faithfulness + Following Jesus After college
Chris Cook and Derek Jones
Transitions are tough, and with graduation, you are heading right towards one of the biggest ones of your life! Come hear how to take what you’ve learned about following Jesus in college and apply it to the “real world” so that you walk with Jesus for a lifetime!
Room 317–320 (300 level)
Faithfulness + Global missions
Austin Wadlow
We don’t worship an American God. We worship a Global God. From Genesis to Revelation there is this constant thread of us seeing God’s heart and plan to see people from every nation, tribe and tongue worshiping Him. What does this mean for you? God wants to use you to change the world (and that’s not an overstatement). Choose this breakout with caution. I believe God is going to use it to plant a vision in your heart that’s bigger than what you currently have.
Breakout Three
2:30 PM
2:30 PM
Ballroom A (400 level)
Help me know God's Will
Christian Gracia
One of the biggest questions we wrestle with is, “What’s God’s will for my life?” We want His best and don’t want to miss it, but what if we’ve been thinking about it the wrong way? In this breakout, we’ll cut through the confusion and see how to actually know and walk in God’s will.
Ballroom B (400 level)
Help me with my doubt
Austin Edwards
I used to feel guilty about my doubts. Does God really love me? Did He actually resurrect? Could He use someone like me? Most of us don’t know how to feel about our doubts or how God feels about our doubts. In this session, we’re going to learn from the great doubters of the Bible and see God meets us in our deepest, realest questions.
Junior Ballroom (100 level)
Help me with my shame
David Livingston
In the garden of Eden, the very first thing that finds us after our sin is shame. In this session we want to speak to the deep sense of loneliness and isolation that so many feel in our relationship with God, with others, and even with ourselves.
Main Hall (200 level)
Help me speak with truth and grace
Jake Hering
Love without truth results in endless affirmation, but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love results in harshness that communicates information, but makes the truth almost impossible to hear. In this session we will explore how we can become more like Jesus who is perfectly full of both grace and truth.
Room 312–316 (300 level)
Help me with my success (pride)
Brad Lotz
Did you know success is a Bible word? Success in life is a blessing —- BUT there are ways that it can become a curse. In this session we will look at three categories of life to consider in the pursuit of success. There are a few critical questions that must be answered: How do I pursue it? What do I do when I “achieve” it? What do I do when I don’t?
Room 317–320 (300 level)
Help me with my bitterness
Luke Peterson
We know that people have taken real things from you which has left scars on your confidence, your reputation, your sense of safety, your dignity, your joy. We want to inspire you toward freedom from your past—even when forgiveness feels unfair, unjust, or unreachable.
