By: Guest Blogger- Noel Maldonado ​As a Christian, you may be looking for practical ways to help deepen your faith and relationship with God. While there are countless options out there, one that stands out is overnight retreats. Here's how they can help you become responsible, mature, and draw closer to God. ​Accepting Responsibility ​A great way to help Christians better understand responsibility is by sending them on overnight retreats.

By: Chris V      It's the Christmas season once more! While it's a wonderful time of year, full of ways to worship Christ and many different fun activities, it can also be a very busy time of year.

I pray that this plan helps you set your focus, hea ..read more

By: Julianna Hey y'all, Chris V here! A few weeks ago, we were sent a question from one of you awesome girls:  Hi! I'm in junior high and I have a major crush on this guy in the grade above me. And a lot of people have told me that he likes me too but I am from a Christian background and I have no interest in dating until I'm about 20.

By: Julianna       One of the perks of being a history major in college was finding treasures buried deep within otherwise long, laborious reading assignments! I found one such gem while working through a two-volume, nearly 1,900 page account of 19th century revivals in Wales. I was reading about one of the lesser-known traveling preachers of the period, a man with the odd-sounding name of Dafydd Cadwaladr. At nineteen, Dafydd was radically saved and shortly after composed a “covenant,” giving himself to serve the Lord.      The idea of covenant-making seem ..read more

By: Chris V      For some of you, school isn't far off from starting. And from what I've heard from other girls, school is one of the main stress factors in their lives! Or, maybe it's not school. Maybe it's work, friend issues, or family issues stressing you out. The definition of stress from Merriam-Webster is "...a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation".  Most of us will experience stress at some point in our lives.
