<<First Name>>

Just a few months back the ReThink315 team and I felt moved to plan and execute a summer retreat for Christian students. On rather short notice, we started assembling a team of experts and apologists to address the most pressing questions young people are asking and being asked. Providentially, of the 21 busy experts and apologists we asked to join us, all 21 were willing! As of last week, 19 of the 21 are confirmed and many of them are waiving honorariums (even though they all deserve triple what we can afford to pay). 

Why is this relevant? What's the big deal? 

I've been organizing speakers for content heavy events since 2010. Usually, we have to raise a ton of money and cast our nets far and wide to cover all of our speaker & topic bases. Why? Because expert speakers are expensive, schedules conflict, opinions clash (usually lovingly), priorities shift, and all manner of obstacles get in the way. This usually makes it necessary to rely on 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes even 4th choices for certain talks or discussions. That just wasn't the case with this event.

In my experience, this is nothing short of miraculous. We are convinced that God has something important planned for us at our first annual ReThink315 Retreat.

If you were waiting until the last minute to sign up, THIS IS THE LAST MINUTE. Registration closes Today (Monday) at 5PM! Scroll below to read more about our teaching team, the topics we'll cover, and other retreat details. 

NOTE: If you're interested in "peeking in" for a talk or two, check the schedule and email me directly. We cannot accommodate surprise visits. Please reach out to me if you intend to stop in. Thanks!

Join us for our very first ReThink315 student retreat! We will spend three days and two nights resting, reflecting, and “rethinking” apologetics and evangelism in light of 1 Peter 3:15. In addition to relevant discussions with nationally recognized authors and speakers, students and staff alike will benefit from extended prayer walks, intentional quiet time, and acoustic worship with an emphasis on “resting in Christ” and “reflecting on Christ”.
