Ps 27:4 / Ps 132 / Is 62

Presented by Thai Lam, Luke 18 Project

Synopsis: The heart cry of King David was to give himself no rest until he found a “dwelling place for the Lord.”  What was it that impassioned King David to give himself to establish a sustained reality of prayer and worship in his generation?  We will look at what ruined David for building a tabernacle of day & night; worship and prayer.

Women with Potential

Presented by Beth Fitch and Jo Saxton

Synopsis: When God made women, what on earth was he thinking? Seriously, what exactly was on his mind? This session will explore the lives and times of some key Biblical women, enabling us to get a fresh vision and perspective on our purpose and calling today.

Bio: In 2000, Beth Fitch was an angry, agnostic attorney who had all the trappings of secular success. She was the managing partner of a law firm, the president of an 800 member non-profit corporation, and a pro-tem judge; yet she felt this overwhelming sense of emptiness. After she attended the Alpha Course, her life was transformed as she developed a relationship with Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit touched her deeply, melting away years of anger, fear and anxiety. Life would never be the same, as she took the message that transformed her life and shared it with anyone who’d listen. She currently practices law part time, serves as a consultant  to Alpha Arizona and is the President of GloWorks, Inc, a non-profit that connects music to mission.

Jo Saxton is originally from London, England, but has lived in Phoenix, AZ since 2004.  She works as a church consultant for 3DMinistries and is a speaker, writer and leadership coach. Jo is passionate that women of every age, stage and culture discover their identity in Christ and all that He has for them. She is married to a wonderful guy named Chris, a Lutheran pastor leading an urban church in downtown Phoenix. They have two gorgeous daughters, Tia (3) and Zoe (2). Her passions include decaf caramel macchiatos, shoes, Ugly Betty and SuperTarget.

Step One: You Change; Step Two: World Change by Caleb Anderson

“Step One: You Change; Step Two: World Change” -
Real Talk About How Great Things Happen

Presented By Caleb Anderson, Young Life

 

Synopsis: This seminar can serve as a manual of sorts - a manual of world-change, if you will. Not that the world is in need of another book. Not that anyone is necessarily waiting on the edge of their seat to hear another human’s thoughts on life, but more than just musings, observations, and self-help material, this is a guide I created on my own journey of life-change.

I can’t take credit for this. Maybe just some time and energy I’ve put into the process. But the journey itself was unwelcomed. It forced itself on me before I was ready… before I knew I needed it. I was trying to change others while Someone else was changing me.

I, like many young and eager adults, believed that I could change the world. After all, I had been around people of significant influence. My family was liked and respected. Teammates voted me captain of sports teams. People seemed to listen when I spoke and I was told I was articulate and insightful. Besides, isn’t the world our oyster? Can’t I do anything I put my mind to? Isn’t this the global-digital era, where anyone can be anywhere and anything? I was a good religious kid, after all; motivated to do good and perhaps make a name for myself as a result. You can’t learn from someone you’ve never heard of, right?

Imagine my shock when I found out – the hard way – that the road to the top is not upward and that big might actually mean small. Perhaps you can relate or empathize with the journey of glorious disaster. If not, let me spare you. I can’t spare you the disaster. But I can spare you the delusion that it’s avoidable.

The world doesn’t need what you think it needs. People don’t need another arrogant idealist telling them how they’re missing the mark. What humanity needs is humility. Genuine humility, plus divine creativity, will be revolutionary. And it starts with you.

 

Bio: A social and spiritual entrepreneur, Caleb has a background in business, studying at USC, followed by four years as a pastor at Saddleback Church in Southern California, where he left to start a unique non-profit. That didn’t work initially, so Caleb began consulting – for the YMCA – and continued writing and speaking. Today Caleb’s home base is Tempe, AZ where he is the director of Young Life’s college ministry at Arizona State University. He continues to teach, write, and help a younger generation reach their potential. Caleb was recently married to his beautiful wife, Hilary.

Living in the truth of our Communion with God

Living in the truth of our Communion with God

Presented by Wendy Andrews, 24-7 Prayer

Synopsis: This discussion group will be an interactive time, following up from Friday night’s main session on “Communion with God”.  Let’s make it practical: You’ll be equipped with a discipleship tool, designed to help you identify and turn from every lie and hindrance blocking your experience of the love of God.  The enemy and our own pain, sin, and brokenness militate against us having true, experiential understanding of God’s free, unconditional love.  However, God is firmly committed to walking us into ever-increasing freedom and into daily life lived in His love and presence, more committed than you could ever be for yourself!  Let’s talk about how we can see the John 14:20 kind of Communion with God become more real in our lives:  “In that day, you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you.”  Bring your hard questions, open and honest dialogue, and yourself exactly where you’re at!

 

Bio: Wendy Andrews hails from Madison, Wisconsin, where she earned a degree in Social Welfare and served for 3 years coordinating a discipleship training community at a thriving young church. Early in 2005, God led Wendy into the wildfire movement of 24-7 Prayer in the USA, helping to catalyze prayer across the country. Based in Kansas City and part of the Boiler Room church community there, Wendy gives the majority of her time to Campus America, an initiative to see 24-7 prayer hit every campus in America. Her focus is building the Campus America team, networking & connecting, and communicating God’s dream for Campus America. She loves East Asia and the ghetto and hopes to live in both places someday.
