SMC Podcast

We spend our lives chasing a reflection. Social media, campus, and culture have all kinds of opinions on what is beautiful, and those opinions tend to have a major impact on our lives. How can we ever keep up with the standards? What if real beauty can't be seen in a mirror at all? Come hear what God has to say about what true, lasting beauty really is.

In a world full of noise, notifications, and nonstop demands, come learn practical ways to remain deeply connected to Christ in everyday life.

Between endless group chats, packed schedules, parties, practices, and a world that never slows down, how do you actually find time to pray? And when you do, where do you even start?

This establisher is for anyone who's ever wanted a real prayer life but felt too busy, too distracted, or just unsure how to begin. Whether you're brand new to prayer or you've been at it for years, come learn practical ways to build a consistent, meaningful prayer life - simple steps and real connection with God in the middle of the college chaos.

Most of us carry around some picture of God shaped by church, parents, TikTok theologians, or our own assumptions. But what if some of those ideas aren't actually true? In this establisher, we'll dive into what Scripture says about God's character and explore how a distorted view of God affects our identity, our choices, and our joy. If you've ever wondered, "What is God really like?", this establisher is for you.

Most of us assume we're just "not good at memorizing", especially when it comes to the Bible. But what if the real issue isn't ability, it's motivation? In this breakout, we'll look at why Scripture memory is for everyone, not just people who grew up in church or are especially smart.

Can Christians drink? Is getting drunk really that big of a deal? What about smoking? Let's get real about drugs, alcohol, and how Christians live differently.

Science vs Scripture. Genesis vs. your biology textbook. Dinosaurs??? Ever feel caught in the trial of the century with no idea which side to take? If you've ever wondered whether you have to choose between your brain and your Bible, this breakout is for you. We'll put the evidence on the stand, show what the Bible actually says, what science really shows, and where the jury's still out.

We make thousands of decisions every day - some small, some life-changing. In a world of endless options and constant pressure, how do you decide in a way that actually honors God? This breakout will give you a simple, biblical framework to help you make wise, God-honoring decisions even when the path forward feels unclear.

Does God choose us or do we choose him? How much of my life does he control? Does God know which breakout I'm going to choose? This topic has been debated for centuries, and while we may not settle it in one hour, we will search the scriptures to begin answering these questions and more!

Feeling overwhelmed? Stressed? Like anxiety is running your life?

What if anxiety isn't actually the problem, but a signal pointing to something deeper?

Join us as we unpack Jesus' words in Matthew 6 and learn how to identify the real source of our anxiety, and how to finally put out the fire.
