Longhorns for Christ

Genevieve Earl tells her story of tragic loss, trauma, and anger, but also of the presence and faithfulness of God and community. Recorded at Longhorns for Christ worship night at the Jester Center dormitory complex at the University of Texas at Austin, October 1, 2017.

Shame is the voice telling you how unworthy you are. Unworthy of others, unworthy of yourself, unworthy of God. The world seeks to keep shame hidden, whereas Jesus exposes us for who we are but then says "I'm proud of you, no matter what." Speaker: Jonathan Morgan

Being happy is your ultimate goal, according to the world. Whatever it takes to be happy and to avoid sadness is what you need to buy, what you need to do, and what you need to be. Christ draws us into a Kingdom world where lamenting, mourning, and suffering can be healthy experiences that lead to ultimate joy. Speaker: Cary McCall

In a post-truth world, the question "what is truth?" is harder to ask than ever. How do we know truth? How do we seek truth? What does it mean to be a seeker of truth? Jesus draws us toward truth, but in ways we might not expect. Speaker: Jenna Worrell

The world says you are defined by your race and your gender, which dictates your cultural values, your community, and in some cases, your worth. How Christ valued all people equally and defined a Kingdom where all people draw their identity from who God is. Speakers: Cary McCall and Joe Cobon

Marriage is a way to happiness, unless it isn’t, says the world. Why marriage is sacred in God’s world and is a practice of developing holiness, not happiness. Speaker: Cary McCall

Liliana Jayme tells a beautiful story of God's work on her identity as a freshman at UT. Recorded at Longhorns for Christ Jester Center outreach night - March 1, 2017.

Money is not only a way of exchanging value, but measuring status and importance, according to the world. Why Jesus recognized money as an idol and how our confidence rests in God’s provision. Speaker: Cary McCall

The world wants to know that everything is going to be okay, and anxiety rules when it is not. How Christ taught that control is not for us, but for him. Comfort is never a promise, but his faithfulness is. Speaker: Chris White
