Glen Rowden's "All Included" session at Summer Camp 2025 emphasized the communal aspect of Christian faith, drawing heavily from Hebrews 10:23-25.

Rowden began by acknowledging that while accepting Jesus Christ is an individual decision, it immediately ushers believers into a collective group—the "sons and daughters of God." This stands in contrast to the prevalent individualistic nature of society, as Christian faith is not self-reliant; believers need both the Holy Spirit and each other to navigate their spiritual journey.

Central to Rowden's message was the concept of hope. He posed the question: "What do you hope for?" He cautioned against hoping for temporary, worldly possessions or hoping for nothing at all, comparing the latter to his dog, Dolly, who has no hopes or dreams beyond basic needs. Instead, he urged attendees to hope for the call of Jesus and the "riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:18), emphasizing God's unfailing love, purpose for each individual, and the promise of eternal life without pain, fear, or tears.

Rowden stressed the importance of holding fast to this hope in Jesus "without wavering." He illustrated this with a vivid personal anecdote from his time in the Army, describing how he had to cling desperately to a helicopter strap to avoid falling. He linked this to the spiritual need to have a "death grip" on one's faith. He further explained that wavering from faith makes life harder, not only for the individual but also for those around them, drawing a parallel to soldiers falling behind in a march, forcing others to exert more effort to keep pace. The ultimate reason to hold fast is because "he who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23).

The speaker then shifted to the necessity of mutual encouragement and accountability among believers. Referencing 1 Peter 5:8, he warned that "your adversary, the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour." Satan, he explained, doesn't announce his presence but subtly seeks to isolate and attack individuals with spiritual "blind spots." Therefore, believers need each other to "stir up one another to love and good works" and to provide accountability, not in a judgmental way, but with love, prayer, and scripture, for the purpose of building each other up.

Rowden directly addressed the common sentiment, "I don't need the church to be a follower of Jesus," calling it both wrong and selfish. He asserted that Hebrews 10:25, "not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another," explicitly commands believers to gather. He argued that attending church isn't solely for individual benefit but also to encourage and support other believers. He concluded by emphasizing that these crucial relationships require commitment and investment to foster trust and mutual protection against spiritual dangers.

Rowden ended by encouraging the attendees to be a group of people who cling to their faith, don't waver, and actively lift one another up, recognizing the increasing difficulties of following Jesus in the last days.
