Samer Massad kicks off a brand new series where we'll be working through the book of James.

In part 4 of our dating series, Samer Massad and Tindell Baldwin team up and give us 10 practical tips on how to date better and handle relationships in a healthier way.

In Part 3 of this series, Samer Massad takes on everyone's favorite topic: sex. What's the big deal about sex? Isn't sex just physical? If sex is just physical, then there's no big deal. But if it's more, then there might be more at stake than you ever realized.

Jesus, Paul, and Peter all had something to say about how men should view and treat women and the new standard they set flies in the face of what our culture teaches us today. Is their teaching still relevant? Samer Massad unpacks what they taught and why we should pay attention.

With our world being as connected as it is through technology, social media, and dating apps, it has never been easier to meet people. At the same time, it's never been more difficult to date well. Why is that the case and what do we do about it? In this brand new series, Samer Massad helps us figure it out.

Why do people set New Year's resolutions? Because life get blurry. Most of us experience more blurriness when it comes to things like our purpose, identity, priorities, and faith than we do clarity. In this message, Samer Massad explores the idea that maybe the reason things are blurry is because you're looking at the world, your life, or college through the wrong lens.

What's the ONE thing Jesus followers should be known for? If the way you lived your life led to people to describe God in ONE word, what would it be? It's easy to complicate the Christian faith but Jesus and one of his closest followers simplified it for us. In this message, Samer Massad shares with us the ONE thing that changes everything and everyone.

We are all unique creations but even in all our uniqueness, Jesus prayed that His followers would be one in perfect unity so that the world would come to know Jesus through us. In this message, Brad Horton challenges us to be a light and a part of the unique work God is doing on your campus.

For the conclusion of our series Alcatraz, Tindell Baldwin, author of “Popular: Boys, Booze, and Jesus”, joins us interview style to share about her personal journey of running from God, trying to fill a void in her heart with boys and alcohol, and ultimately how God rescued her from it all. This honest and unfiltered conversation shows the redeeming power of God’s love and grace and will encourage you no matter what prison you find yourself in.

As we continue our series Alcatraz, our friend Stuart Hall shows us another prison that we find ourselves trapped in and looking for freedom from; secrets. Secrets have the power to derail our lives and the effects of concealing a secret will prove to be devastating.

As we continue our series Fighter, Reed Moore gives a challenging and hilarious message on the importance of community. He shows us that your best possible life is impossible alone which means community is definitely worth fighting for.

How can you make college 4 (or 5!) of the best years of your life? We believe it is by being a fighter who fights for what matters most and in college there are 3 things worth fighting for. In the first part of this series, Samer Massad challenges and inspires students to fight for their faith. With Jesus as our model, he shows why the fight for faith in college, no matter how difficult it may be, is ultimately worth it.

Much of your precious time this summer might be spent doing some kind of summer job or internship. With as precious as our time is, it'd be a shame if the sole purpose for work was a paycheck, class credit, or to build up your resume. The Apostle Paul actually teaches us that there is a far greater purpose for whatever job you do this summer and Samer Massad helps unpack how you can make this upcoming summer job experience the best one you've ever had.
