“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.” 1 Cor 6:19b-20a (ESV) These words hit hard in the hearts of students that attended the Epic Legacy Summit. Being challenged to live a life for Christ in a world that screams at them to live for themselves, these students felt the […]
It was a great honor and privilege to speak as this was my first retreat engagement as the main speaker. Most of the time, I split the sessions with my wife, Steph or others. Since I had to design the theme of the retreat, I prayed and thought about what was most important to […]
During October, students attended Fall Retreats in their respective areas. Fall Retreat was a time of fellowship and connection for the students. In addition, they were able to take a break from their busy lives and spend time with the Lord through messages, prayer, and personal devotional times. Here are some of the students’ […]
