Who Do You Think You Are!?
Who do you think you are!? If you don’t know, you’ll let anything define you. And whatever defines you, you’ll eventually worship.
This talk exposes how identity confusion leads us to build idols out of seemingly good things. Popularity. Relationships. Success. Even church.
When we forget who we are in Christ, we start replacing Him without even realizing it. But, there’s a way back, in this talk we’ll set fire to idols and idle hearts.

So, What’s Next?
Time and time again we are asked what our “next” is. Where are we going to school, what is our career choice, what are your plans? What if we don’t know? Are we supposed to know? What does God have for me? Well, He doesn’t give us a blueprint, but the Bible has some answers. Let’s talk about God’s plan, calling, and the unknown together!

(For Leaders) Present, Not Perfect: Walking with Youth Through Mental Health Challenges
Today’s youth are facing unprecedented mental health challenges and often, they bring those struggles to you first. This session will help you feel more confident in how to respond with care, wisdom, and humility. Learn how to be a calm, grounded presence, recognize patterns that require deeper support, and navigate when to lean in and when to bring others alongside. You don’t have to be a therapist to make a meaningful impact.

Who told you that?
Every day, we encounter thoughts and messages that shape how we see ourselves, others, and God. But not every thought deserves our trust. This breakout session explores the connection between mental health, our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and identity. Students will learn how to recognize the voices influencing them, challenge harmful or distorted thinking, and distinguish between what they feel and what is actually true.

Being FOR Them: How to Share Jesus with Your Unchurched Friends
You’ve got that one friend – the teammate, the one in your group chat, the one who’s never set foot in a church and doesn’t plan to. You want them to know Jesus, but every time you think about bringing it up, it feels awkward, forced, or like you’re about to start a fight you’re not equipped to win. Here’s the truth: you don’t have to win an argument to change someone’s life. You just have to be FOR them.
In this session, we’ll talk about how your everyday actions, the ones you don’t even realize matter, are already shaping how your friends see God. You’ll learn how to bridge the gap with people who believe differently than you, without pressure and without a script. And you’ll leave with one simple, doable step: a real move you can make with a real friend, starting this week. This isn’t a battle. It’s an invitation. And it starts with you.

Come and See: Helping Your Friends Behold Jesus
What if sharing your faith started less with knowing exactly what to say and more with learning to see where Jesus is already at work? Together, we’ll explore how beholding Jesus changes the way we see our friends, our schools, and the opportunities around us, and how the Holy Spirit can help us invite others to come and see Jesus for themselves.

Built for Monday
What happens when the conference is over? God doesn’t just want to give you moments with Him. He wants to build a life with you. This breakout session moves faith from a weekend high into a weekday reality.
Jess DiSabatino
Nobody’s Driving
Ever feel like your week just happens to you? School, sports, group chats, homework, repeat, and somehow you never chose any of it. This session hands you the wheel. We’ll break down what a “Rule of Life” actually is (way simpler than it sounds) and walk through real, bite-sized ways to build a life you’re actually steering instead of just surviving.

(For Leaders) Growing Resilience in your Students
We live in a time where our students struggle with their mental health and anxiety at alarming rates. One theologian has said that the popular cultural worldview provides the least amount of resources for people to suffer well. And the data seems to indicate that’s true. But as mentors and youth leaders, we have an opportunity to invest in our students, in a way that can make them strong, firm and steadfast. This breakout will give us a biblical foundation for building resilience, and 6 (maybe 7) practical steps to apply those truths.

How to awaken the western church
Is the western church asleep? Why does it seem God moves differently in the west? Where are the signs and wonders? The miracles? Where is the great revival? In this breakout we will stoke the flames of revival and answer the question “is the church in the west asleep?”
