Join Called attendees, ages fifteen to eighteen, July 13–18, 2020, as they spend a week learning how to live out their faith, sitting under winsome speakers, and interacting in applied workshops. You won’t want to miss out on the fun—explore the downtown locale of Moscow, compete in various activities and games, and cultivate Christian friendships with students who are also committed to being salt and light. Be challenged and encouraged to live faithfully in Christ! Spend a week in Christian discipleship.
The concept of law has long been a central idea in Christian theology, ethics, jurisprudence, and political philosophy. Yet, it’s a topic to which few Christians today have given much serious thought. In this workshop, students will be challenged to develop a Christian understanding of law!
Three kings three different types of leaders—yet all three were leaders. In this workshop, we will discuss lessons we can learn and what pitfalls we can avoid by paying close attention to these three leaders in the Bible.
When we speak or write, whether it’s a humorous movie review or a serious call to action, we must learn to obligate the belief of our audience or we have failed.
Crash course on the art of the line and its application in visual storytelling.
Have you ever wondered why food and meals are found everywhere in the Bible? In this workshop, we will take a look at what food teaches us about the creation, fall, and restoration of the world. We will consider the importance of taste, fellowship, hospitality, and how God intends us to use the delights of the table to teach us about His Fatherly love and draw others into the beauty of the Gospel.
A Different Shade of Green: This workshop is focused on our dominion (stewardship) responsibilities given in Genesis 1:28. How are we to view and value creation? How then should we exercise wise dominion while not being influenced by the secular environmental agenda and reactionaries against them? Young Earth Creation: This workshop is a concise survey of why the bible clearly indicates that the earth is young. We will also look at why scientific (biological, geological, paleontological) evidence, rightly interpreted, strongly supports this conclusion. What’s at Stake: This workshop is about why the secular narrative of earth history (evolution and deep time) is wrong and corrosive to a robust biblical worldview and why young-earth creation is orthodox and essential to a robust biblical worldview. We will also discuss why young-earth creation isn’t just a secondary doctrine that causes unnecessary division and disunity in the church? Natural History to the Glory of God: This workshop is about how to cultivate a deep lifelong appreciation of the biological creation for non-scientific Christians. We will explore some of the wonders of the living world (plants and animals) that exist right outside our door.
Learning the basics and finding success as faithful storytellers in a saturated marketplace.
Have you ever made a disciple before? How would you know if you did? In this interactive workshop we will learn and practice together the ancient art of disciple-making.
