We Will Tell

Episode 2: Why Youth Conference?

Show Notes:

Youth Conference is one of the best weekends of the year!  It is full of fun, excitement, high-energy, and a passionate focus on those who don’t know Jesus to experience Him in a very real way. 

High-Energy

Following Jesus is FUN!  There is nothing like celebrating Jesus as our Lord and Savior in a room full of hundreds of students and leaders from all across Mississippi!  We have designed this weekend to really emphasize that living a life of faith is something to celebrate and enjoy - even in the midst of struggle! 

Salvation Focused

Our major priority for this event is simple - the lost become found.  We intentionally invest in the most excellent communicators, worship leaders, and all of the details behind the scenes to ensure that the priority of the weekend is emphasized and done well.  In a time of hopelessness and chaos we understand that Jesus is the answer!  Everything we do will point to students making the best decision of their life this weekend by trusting and following Jesus.

Momentum Building

After Conference, we want your groups to go home energized, passionate, and ready to reach their community, school, and family, for Jesus!  We want to make sure leaders have what they need to keep the momentum going in the local church!  This is not about the churches coming to a conference - it’s about a conference resourcing the local church.

Final Thoughts

We have seen tremendous growth in the last few years of our Conference - with last year selling out!  We encourage you to register as soon as registration opens to ensure your spot for one of the highlights of the year!  You can keep up to date with the resources provided below.

Episode 1: Why the Podcast?

Show Notes:

We are starting with a “Why?” Series to lay the foundation of why we exist and our purpose in serving you.  We will break down every event, talk about missions and how to support our missionaries through generosity, and give you practical tips to start your ministry from nothing or take it to the place you’ve only dreamed.

The “We Will Tell” Podcast is a resource designed to help the local churches of Mississippi in the area of Next Generation Ministries.  

Through this podcast we will focus on:

1. Resourcing. 

Our heart is to provide you with everything you need from teaching, training, and curriculum to help you better serve your church, ministries, and families.

1. Events.

Events are a big part of what we do throughout the year to help reinforce what you are instilling in the lives of your students.  Everything we do has a purpose with a goal of helping bring momentum to your church.   

1. Serving. 

Jesus came to serve - not to be served.  Our heart is that we would follow this model and serve you to help you see the visions and dreams Jesus has placed in your heart for your community. 

Final Thoughts

As we work through this “Why?” Series and beyond - we are excited to offer you something that will add value right now and will help you on your way to achieving your goals!

Life has created a sense of comfort all around us.  How we live, travel, and experience the world around us, is designed for peak comfort and efficiency.  We don't look at hard things and get excited... who wants to be uncomfortable?  However, there is beauty in the challenging and the growing.  We Do Hard Things! They make us better. 

Join us as we tackle the topic of doing hard things.

For those that love to people please - it's so easy to say "Yes!" to everything around us.  However, saying "Yes!" to one thing means saying "No!" to a multitude of others.  Join us as we break down the way to say our best "Yes!" 

There is a challenge in discovering what you are gifted to do... it's another thing to actually develop it.  In today's episode we talk about the significance of developing your gift and some practical ways to do that.

Character is the invisible quality that everyone sees.  It goes before you and enters rooms that you haven't yet been in!  The question we must ask is... What is going before you?  This week we conclude our series on leaving your Legacy with the most important part of who we are... our Character.

Everything begins and ends with a thought.  How are you thinking? Do you have a solid thought life or do you find yourself lost in negative views of others and yourself?  As you think, so you go!
