Our next speaker for our student Last Words series is Cooper Cutshall. He talks about the importance of not living halfway in your relationship with God. Fully living for God is far better than trying to balance both sides, and that true life is found in going all in with Him. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

Our next speaker for our student Last Words night is Emory Trent. She shares about the importance of finding a mentor, someone you can trust, be real with, and allow to speak into your life. Emory talks about how trust leads to vulnerability, and vulnerability leads to deeper, more meaningful community. Her encouragement is simple: find your person, find your mentor, and choose to walk with people who will walk with you. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

Our first speaker in our student Last Words series is Kennedy Watterson, a senior at Dobyns-Bennett High School. He shares about not feeling the need to perform to be accepted by people, and the importance of community.

This week, Katey is teaching, and we are talking about God moving toward us. Sometimes we think we have to have it all together before coming to God, but the truth is He’s already moving toward us. He’s already near, already pursuing, already at work. So today, we’re leaning in and making room for Him to meet us right where we are. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

Today Richie is talking about how Jesus meets the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The disciples had an expectation, a picture in their minds of what Jesus would be like, and when things didn’t match that, they struggled to see what was actually right in front of them. But what if the reason they didn’t recognize Him right away is because they were so set on how they thought the story was supposed to go? And maybe that’s true for us too. Sometimes we miss what God is doing because it doesn’t look how we expected, but that doesn’t mean He isn’t there. So today, we’re leaning in, asking God to open our eyes to see Him, even when it looks different than we thought. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

This week, we’re looking at two different postures, Mary and Judas. Both were close to Jesus, but only one chose to surrender. Judas showed up, but held back. Mary came to the feet of Jesus and poured out everything she had. So today, we’re inviting you into that same posture, to come to His feet, to lay it all down, and to not just be close… but fully surrendered. Follow us on instagram @cfstudents_

We’re in week three of our series Becoming, a journey through identity, truth, and freedom. Every single human being is restless with the question: Who am I? And while many of us have heard truth about who God says we are, there’s often a gap between the truth we hear and the freedom we actually live. This week, Katey steps into that tension and asks a powerful question: What does it take for truth to move from something we hear to something we choose? Through Genesis 3, we see that the first thing corrupted by sin wasn’t reality—it was how Adam and Eve saw themselves. And that same struggle still shapes our stories today. This message is an invitation to let the light in, to allow truth to replace the meaning the lie has attached to your story, and to choose to walk in freedom—even when the lie is still loud. So lean in as we continue becoming who God has always said we are. Follow us on instagram @cfstudents_

We’re in week two of our series Becoming, a journey through identity, truth, and freedom. Every single human being is restless with the question: Who am I? And often, the lies we believe about ourselves don’t just shape our identity—they push us into hiding. This week, Logan talks about what it means to bring the lie into the light, because healing doesn’t begin when we try harder—it begins when we stop hiding. This message is an invitation to step out of hiding, to let God meet you exactly where you are, and to allow His truth to bring real healing. Follow us on instagram @cfstudents_

We’re kicking off a brand-new series called Becoming, all about who we are, who we’re becoming, and the way God sees us. Every single human being is restless with the question: Who am I? So much of life is spent chasing answers, shaping ourselves around expectations, pressure, and labels, and often believing lies about who we really are. This week, Richie breaks down the difference between the false self, the version built on fear, performance, and approval, and the true self, the identity rooted in God’s love and truth. This message is your invitation to confront the lies, discover your true identity, and step into the freedom of becoming who God made you to be.

This week, Kim talks about Jesus as the Savior for all people and what it really means to be transformed from the inside out. Not just changing actions, but changing the way we think and see ourselves. We’re asking questions like: Are you living like Jesus is holding out on you? Have you had thoughts lately that don’t line up with who God says you are—and what it could look like to rework them? Because real transformation isn’t about pressure—it’s about becoming who God designed you to be and stepping into something way better than you imagined. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

This week, we talked about love — how, as we start to truly know Jesus and receive His love, it begins to change everything about us. Following Jesus means becoming people of love — a love that transforms the way we live. When His love takes root in us, it changes everything. It brings peace where there used to be chaos, unity where there was division, and light where there was darkness. His love doesn’t just stay in us — it overflows into every part of our lives and every person around us. So the question we’re asking is: If we’re following Jesus, are we becoming people of love?

Tonight, we looked at sin—how it runs deeper than what we see on the outside. Jesus didn’t just come to cover over our mistakes; He came to break the bondage of sin. He came to uproot the deep roots that weigh us down and set us free to walk in His life. Revival means letting Him go beneath the surface, pulling up what doesn’t belong, and replacing it with His freedom and His love. So ask yourself this: What sin has taken root in your life, and will you let Jesus set you free from it? Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

We’re wrapping up our Telos series. Tonight was such a special night—one of those nights where God really meets us where we are. We talked about taking off masks —laying things down, stepping out of shame, overcoming fear, and embracing everything the Lord has for us. We aren’t meant to carry shame, and we aren’t meant to carry the weight of expectations. In Jesus, we receive freedom and we receive love. Tonight was about acknowledging the things we’ve been carrying and choosing to lay them down so we can walk in His fullness. You can follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_
