True North

Forgiveness is at the very heart of the Christian faith, and therefore, it must also be at the heart of the Christian life. In this episode of Course Correction, Chief Dan Osborn explores Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:12, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Together, we'll consider two important questions: What does it mean to receive forgiveness from God, and how do we learn to extend that same forgiveness to others?

2026 Island Section Chief Lucas Piazza shares his story which points to a very fundamental question for all Christians: how do I know the will of God in my life? This episode of True North explores how Christians can think about their lives—and God’s will for their lives—in categories that are simpler, clearer, and perhaps more freeing than we often imagine.

Why did Jesus instruct His disciples to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread”?

What happens when the campers go home? How can a Deerfooter continue to live out what he learned during his two weeks at Deerfoot throughout the other 50 weeks of the year? The Directors of Deerfoot Lodge join together to talk about the 50-week opportunity—how campers and their families can build on the Deerfoot experience and continue growing in godliness at home. From faith and family rhythms to friendships, church, and everyday life, the mission of Deerfoot doesn’t end when a camper leaves camp. In many ways, that’s when the opportunity begins!
