Mega-Breakouts

Confident Conversations: Sharing Your Faith Naturally

In this breakout, you’ll learn how to share your faith naturally using the Gospel Appointment method. If sharing the gospel feels intimidating, you’re not alone—and that’s okay! Discover simple, practical ways to turn everyday conversations into opportunities to talk about Jesus.

Consistent Time in the Word and Prayer

We know we NEED to spend time daily with the Lord…we may even WANT to spend time daily with the Lord in the Word and Prayer…but why is it so hard?!?  Come learn some practical steps to develop a plan to prioritize daily, time with the Lord, in the Word, and Prayer.

Discovering My Place in the Great Commission

Join the International Mission Board to explore your unique place in sharing God’s glory among the nations. This session will guide you through practical ways to Pray, Give, and Go, highlighting short-term mission opportunities tailored to your current season of life. Together, we’ll discuss actionable steps to prepare for walking in obedience to God’s call, wherever He may lead you!

Exploring a Call to Ministry and Missions

Have you ever wondered if God is calling you to a specific ministry or mission?  This seminar will help you understand God’s call, clarify what that specific call may be, and determine what the next steps are if He is calling you.

Fight for Spiritual/Sexual Purity (Women Only)

God offers us true freedom in Christ, yet so often we find ourselves entangled in sin and shame. The fight for spiritual and sexual purity is not just a man’s problem. In this session, we will discuss the roots of sexual sin, what the Bible has to say about shame, and practical steps for pursuing spiritual purity with the help of other sisters in Christ.

Getting Started in Missions

For many, we have a desire to go on mission but are hesitant to do so because we do not know where to start. We ask ourselves the where, when, and how questions and before we realize it, we are talking ourselves out of going. The purpose of this breakout is to help overcome the “unknown” by sharing practical ways we can begin to live out the call to make disciples through our participation in missions whether in our community, our state, the country, and/or around the world. 

Learning to Make Disciples

Becoming a disciple of Jesus who makes disciples who make disciples.

Putting the Sexual Revolution in Its Place: The Wrong Side of History and the Future of the Church’s Witness

The modern sexual revolution promised liberation but has delivered confusion, brokenness, and a culture increasingly untethered from any coherent moral vision of the body, desire, or the good of the human person. In this talk, Putting the Sexual Revolution in Its Place: The Wrong Side of History and the Future of the Church’s Witness, we will examine how the revolution’s claims—once paraded as progress—have undermined human dignity, fractured the family, and hollowed out the moral imagination. Far from being on the “right side of history,” the sexual revolution stands exposed as a failed social experiment, one that demands a bold, compassionate, and theologically grounded response. Drawing on Scripture, natural law, and Christian tradition, we will explore how the Church can recover her moral voice, disciple the next generation with clarity and hope, and offer a vision of sexuality that is not only true but beautiful, liberating, and enduring.

Reaching Your Circle of Influence

God has placed people in your everyday life—roommates, classmates, teammates, friends—not by accident, but so they might come to know Him. In this session we will discuss how you can grow in using your time on campus to reach people in your circle of influence with the gospel.

Studying the Bible to Know God's Voice and Shape Your Heart

This breakout session is about learning how to study the Bible, how it helps you hear God’s voice, and how it shapes your heart.
