Course Description:
If you are age 18-28, you are in the midst of a major life transition—from dependence to independence, parental to personal values, education to vocation, and being single to (perhaps) married. That’s a lot to navigate! And there’s a lot at stake—the convictions you develop and the decisions you make during this crucial time of life sets your course for years to come.
We all have seen (or experienced) that this stage of life can be turbulent and beset by drifting, detrimental actions and relationships, or even deconstruction of everything you thought you believed. Be encouraged by what Jesus said, “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). By following His lead, you can too!
In eight sessions over two days addressing life’s most important issues, such as God and the gospel, worldview, spiritual growth, relationships and marriage, time and vocation, the local church, and more, The Overcomer Course is specifically designed to help you gain clarity and conviction on God’s plan and your purpose in it.
Each session will be comprised of interactive teaching and group discussion. Questions and comments are welcome and encouraged. David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview Radio Program, will lead most sessions.
Morning coffee and light breakfast, lunch and dinner are included as part of your registration, as well as gift bag of resources. Time is set aside between sessions for activities and exploring the 115 acre farm. Staff and volunteers from The Overcomer Foundation will assist on site.
Check out the schedule and sessions below and click on the link to register. To maximize personal connection, The Overcomer Course is limited to 30 young adults.
Hope to see you at the farm in June 2024!
