Reversing the Bitterness Cycle
After our decision to follow Christ, how we handle offense is the most important decision we may ever make – right up there with who we marry and what our career choices will be. This decision of how to handle offense pilots all others and will determine our effectiveness in God’s Kingdom until we meet Him in Heaven. Together, we will examine the bitterness cycle and the trap of offense that is so easy to fall into. We will explore scripture and look at practical ways to live counter culturally and reverse the bitterness cycle to live in freedom, and help others do the same.
Facilitator: Amy Hauck (UTSA)
Location: Houston B
The School of Prayer
Men and women used much by God are people who pray, but prayer is hard on self. We do not want to pray, but those who DO change the world. If your life is powerless, it is perhaps because you are prayer-less. If you want to learn to pray, only two things are required: willingness and obedience. Come learn in the school of prayer.
Facilitator: Taylor Cruz (NMSU)

Vagabond Evangelism
There is an approach to evangelism that is based not on our impressive scholarship, but on our displayed dependency; a way of witness that requires neither charisma nor salesmanship…in fact those things may be enemies to its effectiveness. No preacher, not pastor, no missionary anywhere, is better positioned to share Jesus with your friends than you are. Learn to unlock the forces of ‘tribe’ and ‘testimony’ in your life – to reach the student next door.
Facilitator: Destry Dobbs (Tulsa)
Location: State Room 2
*Seen and Unseen
The reality of the unseen world. The unseen within. The ultimate unseen. The unseen around us. Angels, cherubim, and seraphim. Evil spirits and Satan. Maintaining spiritual health.
Facilitator: Christopher Gornold-Smith
Location: Austin 3
*Big Sis Talk (For Ladies Only)
My favorite part of my Chi Alpha experience as a student was having big sisters in the faith that I could trust. I knew I could ask them anything and they wouldn’t condemn me, but they would point me to truth and Jesus. I know we all have questions about sexuality, gender identity, pornography, faith, doubt, relationships, etc…well the floor is open. Come talk to a panel of your big sisters in the faith about all your burning questions!
Facilitators: Morgan Fulton (Xavier), Miranda Taylor (UL), and Christine Johns (UNO)
Location: Austin 2
*No Doubt About It - Teaching
Have you ever asked, “Does God REALLY want to fill me with His Spirit?” When we doubt or are confused, He speaks exactly to what we understand. He says, “suppose a friend” and “if your children ask.” Join us for this session as we meditate on the Scriptures and press into God‘s promises knowing that God absolutely wants to fill us with His Spirit, Today!
Facilitators: Fabian and Angelica Garcia (UTSA)
Location: San Antonio B
*Verse Mapping: Engaging Creatively with the Word
Engage your right and left brain to experience God’s Word in a creative fashion! “I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.” – Psalm 119:130
Facilitator: Anabelle Treuil (Louisiana)
Location: Live Oak
*Discerning the Will of God
Ever wondered or asked the question, What should I do for my life? Where should I go? What job should I have? Who should I marry? These are common questions we all have. As believers we want to please God and be inside His will, but what does that mean? A.W. Tozer says, “Outside the will of God there is nothing I want. And in the will of God there is nothing I fear.” How do we discern what that is and have confidence in our decisions? Join us as we start a conversation that will bring clarity to the question everyone is asking.
