Mark Kiessling Speaker Director of LCMS Youth Ministry Description Session Details Session Details Faithful in a Faithless World One of the most challenging and compelling commands of Christ is to be in the world but not of the world. We will explore what it means to be faithful to the Word while examining the world through four unique, secular lenses. Living Light As leaders in churches and communities, we have the privilege of serving people at various times, places, and spaces in their lives. During this Bible Study, Pastor Ryan will lead an exploration into Matthew 5:14-16 and other sections of Scripture to help participants see the power of living in the light of Jesus Christ. The 5 Top Concerns of High School Youth Christian young people will continue to face challenges to their Christian faith, their stance on moral issues and the truth of Christ s Word. LCMS congregations are on the front-line of forming current and future leaders of the Church as young people learn to live as light and salt in the world. 4

Maier Speaker President, Michigan District Session Details Session Details Session Details What is Faith? The Church and the world have differing views. Or do they? Mission Promise and Purpose The story of mission and ministry is God s story played out in real time with real people like us. Living in that story is a joy, challenge and privilege for each of us! The call to mission is God s. The direction to mission is God s. The energy for mission is God s. The opportunity for mission is God s. Moving From Habit to Intention Living faithfully in a faithless world challenging? perhaps; frustrating? possibly; heartbreaking? probably; impossible? never! It begins with God s promises, relies on God s direction, is fueled by God s power, and is lived out intentionally in our context of ministry. 5
