Hardship is unavoidable, but it doesn't have to break you. In this breakout, we'll explore how to endure life's hardest moments with hope, steadiness, and even joy through the strength Christ provides. You'll learn 5 simple habits to practice when hardship comes, along with 3 common ways we make hardship even harder. Whether you're walking through suffering now or preparing for challenges ahead, this breakout will equip you to endure whatever comes - and to come out more like Christ on the other side.

Feeling overwhelmed? Stressed? Like anxiety is running your life? What if anxiety isn't actually the problem, but a signal pointing to something deeper? Join us as we unpack Jesus' words in Matthew 6 and learn how to identify the real source of our anxiety - and how to finally put out the fire.

No filters. No clichés. Just a real look at what God designed sexuality to be. His way is better than the mixed messages we get from culture, TikTok, and our own experiences. Come ready to hear an unfiltered perspective on our bodies, desires, and relationships.

Is the Bible reliable, or has it been changed over time? Is Jesus a real historical figure or just a religious idea? In this breakout, we'll explore why Christians can trust the Bible, how it holds up historically, and what both biblical and non-biblical sources say about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Come wrestle honestly with the questions and leave with thoughtful reasons for faith.

We spend our lives chasing a reflection. Social media, campus, and culture have all kinds of opinions on what is beautiful, and those opinions tend to have a major impact on our lives. How can we ever keep up with the standards? What if real beauty can't be seen in a mirror at all? Come hear what God has to say about what true, lasting beauty really is.

In a world full of noise, notifications, and nonstop demands, come learn practical ways to remain deeply connected to Christ in everyday life.

Between endless group chats, packed schedules, parties, practices, and a world that never slows down, how do you actually find time to pray? And when you do, where do you even start? This establisher is for anyone who's ever wanted a real prayer life but felt too busy, too distracted, or just unsure how to begin. Whether you're brand new to prayer or you've been at it for years, come learn practical ways to build a consistent, meaningful prayer life - simple steps and real connection with God in the middle of the college chaos.

Most of us carry around some picture of God shaped by church, parents, TikTok theologians, or our own assumptions. But what if some of those ideas aren't actually true? In this establisher, we'll dive into what Scripture says about God's character and explore how a distorted view of God affects our identity, our choices, and our joy. If you've ever wondered, "What is God really like?", this establisher is for you.

Most of us assume we're just "not good at memorizing", especially when it comes to the Bible. But what if the real issue isn't ability, it's motivation? In this breakout, we'll look at why Scripture memory is for everyone, not just people who grew up in church or are especially smart.

Can Christians drink? Is getting drunk really that big of a deal? What about smoking? Let's get real about drugs, alcohol, and how Christians live differently.
