Do you ever feel like no matter what you achieve, earn, or experience, it's still not enough? In college, it's easy to believe the next achievement, relationship, or opportunity will finally make us satisfied. But discontentment will keep us always wanting more.

Relationships today feel confusing for a reason: most of us are trying to figure them out as we go without a game plan. Situationships, mixed signals, hookups, and heartbreak have become normal, but that's not the only way. In this breakout, we'll be your coaches and unpack The Relationships Playbook - a simple, practical framework for building relationships God's way. Whether you're single, dating, or somewhere in between, you'll walk away with clarity, direction, and a better game plan for relationships that won't end in pain (or maybe won't end at all)!

Sports gambling is everywhere - fantasy leagues, parlays, prop bets. It feels fun, competitive, and harmless... until it isn't.

In this breakout, we'll take an honest look at how sports betting shapes your heart and your walk with God. We'll explore eye-opening stats, the underlying patterns that make gambling so powerful, the key questions every Christian should ask before placing a bet, and how to enjoy sports with freedom - without letting the odds own you.
