Walk Talks

We were delighted to have Pastor Jeff Redlin and Micah Herbster speaking to the Teen and Junior campers this week. The Lord worked in many hearts and the young people made tremendous decisions for the Lord. Tune in to The Takeaway this week to hear about the lessons learned from God's Word this week.

This week on The Takeaway we talk with a variety of campers on how God spoke to their heart through the preaching. It was a blessing to have Evangelist Ron DeGarde at Southland. His preaching was pointed, powerful and practical. The sermon segment of this episode was taken from his Wednesday evening message on Psalm 22 entitled "The Psalm of the Cross."

It was a joy to have Pastor Dave Delaney & Dr. John Goetsch preaching the Word of God at Southland this week. Their messages were powerful and pointed. We're praising the Lord for the souls that were saved and the decisions that God's people made to continue in their walk with Him. To God be the glory!

This week at Southland, Evangelist David Corn (Jr. Camp) & Evangelist Rich Tozour (Teen Camp) preached the Word of God with clarity and boldness. This episode of The Takeaway highlights their preaching as well as camper, staff and sponsor testimonies of how the Lord has challenged and changed hearts. Rejoice with us in what God has done this week at Southland.

Southland just concluded its week of Staff Training with Pastor Eric Gustafson. The Takeaway is a weekly podcast produced during the summer of 2025. Each episode will feature a highlighted portion of the preaching as well as testimonies from campers, staff and sponsors. We trust that you will be able to take encouragement from what God is doing in the lives of others.

For our final Walk Talks episode of the year, we’re excited to bring you a special Friday Focus edition! As you may have seen in the artwork and title, this episode is a bit unique—we have two guest speakers joining us.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we hosted our first-ever Pastors and Youth Workers Conference here at Southland Christian Camp. It was a great success, and for this final Friday Focus episode, we’re sharing a Q&A session from the last day of that conference.

The conversation features Pastor Ken Keltner, who serves in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Chuck Gourley, the youth pastor at Campus Church in Pensacola, Florida. My dad, Brother Mike Herbster, sat down with both of them in front of our conference attendees to ask some thoughtful questions about youth ministry.

Whether you’re a pastor, youth pastor, youth leader, or even a teenager involved in youth ministry, we believe this episode will be both helpful and encouraging. It offers valuable insight into youth ministry philosophy—whether you’re planning to serve full-time in ministry or simply want to understand the “why” behind what you do.

We hope you’ll take the time to listen, be encouraged, and be challenged by the wisdom shared by Pastor Ken Keltner and Chuck Gourley.

We have attached a link to all the session recordings from our Pastor’s and Youth Worker’s Conference and we would highly encourage you to go and listen to them, and maybe they can be an encouragement to you.

During this final week in the life of Moses, we will examine several portions of Scripture that he wrote as he prepared to hand over the leadership of the nation to Joshua. Throughout this study of Moses’ life, we have explored his “mountain moments” and his “valley moments”—that is, we have studied both his obedience and his disobedience. This week, however, we will focus on the legacy Moses leaves behind and his challenge to the nation of Israel to continue following God and trusting Him to provide. We have thoroughly enjoyed this study, and it is our prayer that you have grown in your dependence on God and have learned from the mistakes of the Israelites.
