In the next following days/weeks I plan on going more in depth about specific aspects I learned at the conference in a series entitled, "Break Free" based on the conference theme. However, here are some brief highlights from this year's conference.
God truly answered a prayer. Since my freshman year of college, it has been my goal and prayer to bring students from my university to the conference. By God's grace, 8 students including myself were able to attend! God provided us with the funds to fully financially support one student and pay for one student's transportation fee!! God is GOOD!
This year's conference was also different in past years' because of my involvement with the conference. I was tremendously blessed in many areas to serve at this conference including writing a monologue for the national campaign promo video, a college representative of the Google Hangout sessions, shared my testimony in the main session called the Freedom Seat, and was one of the Outreach trainers/facilitators. I was truly honored and humbled to serve in those areas; however, it truly pulled me out of my comfort zones in several ways.
Here is one of the many convicting phrases I heard from the conference this year:
"We seek answers, but don't seek Jesus. Jesus will not come second to our answers"
--Timotheus Pope, Men's Time.
We can get so accustomed to asking God for a sign or a specific answer; however, if we just seek Jesus and Jesus alone, our answer will ultimately be revealed. Often times we are waiting for a sign that fits what WE want, opposed to the standard Christ has set.
This is a very brief overview, but stay tuned with me as I start this series.
