Take Camp Home: The Power of Practice - Luke Emery

Eating once a week, once a month, or once a year would kill a person. Why do we think our spiritual lives are any better? Camp is simply a taste of a life with Jesus. Do the work of reordering your life in such a way as to catch the wind of God every day.

Student Leadership: Love Over Likes

Take Camp Home: Community - Nick Mastrude

From the series, "Take Camp Home - Daily Encounters"
 
One aspect of camp that makes it so significant is the group of people involved! In this teaching, we explore how we were created for, and thrive, in community. But the reality is, community is difficult. It's messy. It takes commitment and intentionality. Make no mistake, those who stay grow, those who leave simply do not grow! Let's be creative on how to engage in community throughout the week!

Take Camp Home: The One Thing - Nick Mastrude

From the series, "Take Camp Home - Daily Encounters". In this teaching, we discuss what makes the environment of camp so significant and how they all point to the one thing, the one person Jesus. In the Gospel of Luke, we read about two sisters, Mary and Martha. Martha was worried and upset about many things, trying to host Jesus, while Mary was simply at Jesus' feet, keeping company with him. Jesus said that Mary had chosen the one thing necessary. What is one thing you need to implement into your daily life in order to truly experience the Lord? No one relies on one meal a day, a week, or a year to sustain their lives... Our spiritual lives are no different. Let's order and arrange our lives in such a way that we are encountering the one thing, the one person Jesus, all week long.

Love Over Likes: With All Your Strength - Luke Emery

Your time is limited, and tech is stealing it. What do you want the sum total of your life to amount to? What good works does Christ have for you to do?

Love Over Likes: With All Your Soul - Luke Emery

From the series, "Love Over Likes: Choosing God's Affection Above Digital Temptation"
Do you sense that your soul is longing for something more? Tech leaves our souls parched while God's law causes us to thrive. How are you feeding your soul? Imagine a world in which you were healthy on a soul level. 

Love Over Likes: With All Your Heart - Luke Emery

From the series, "Love Over Likes: Choosing God's Affection Above Digital Temptation"Tech has occupied our hearts and minds, causing us to be more addicted and depressed than ever before. The prophet Jeremiah says that our heart is deceitful and tech exploits our corruption. However, Jesus came so that our hearts and minds might be renewed. 

Love Over Likes: Love the Lord Your God - Luke Emery

From the series, "Love Over Likes: Choosing God's Affection Above Digital Temptation"
 
What we do impacts what we love, and what we love impacts what we do. What we love and do becomes who we are. Jesus' first question to his disciples-to-be was, "What do you want?" Notice that he doesn't ask, "What do you believe?" or, "What do you know?" The greatest command is to "Love the Lord." Our God is after our heart. How are your tech habits forming your love, affection, and longings?
