Therefore, we must take core human questions seriously: What story am I in? Who am I? With whom do I belong? How do I change? Where do I make my life? What is my purpose? How do I love?

These deep human questions have Biblical answers, but as embodied creatures, we need more than intellectual beliefs, we need embodied practices - lived ways of knowing.

A Rule of Life is an ancient method for the good news of the Gospel to form and shape us - so that we might embody the missional presence of Christ in the world.\

This workshop was recorded on February 22, 2025, at the Jubilee Conference in Pittsburgh, PA. The Jubilee Conference is hosted by the Coalition for Christian Outreach (ccojubilee.org).

Does any of that tug at your heart? In this workshop we'll dig into the Biblical roots and calling of the discipline of restraint. More than just saying "no"; restraint is a counter-cultural and holistic discipline. Come explore how restraint is necessary to love others well (one of the core callings of Christianity) and cultivate meaningful community. Come grasp a vision for how restraint lived out in different areas of your life might help you make clearer choices with less anxiety. Come learn how doing less might actually help you do it better.

The Jubilee Conference has long invited students to take seriously the Lordship of Christ over all of life. In every zone of culture and every corner of our lives, we can live out the story of God's love for the world and play our part creating signposts of the Kingdom. Reading has always been a key Christian discipline but now, more than ever, books are tools for changing the world. Come be inspired to read more and grow your faith, living into the Jubilee vision, nurturing the Christian mind. Our conference bookseller is eager to share a theology of reading, ideas about how to become a better reader, and answer questions about what to read next.

But for all its benefits, tech can easily take over; its promises of an easy life can take away our abilities to attend, consider, and love. And in a world of algorithms that target our subconscious, it's ever harder to make conscious choices towards virtue.

With help from sources both new and ancient, we'll consider what it means to be human in a world of devices—and simple, practical actions for a tech-wise life.

Jesus didn't come to encourage people to take bubble baths in an effort of self-care. He came so that we would "not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind."

During this workshop, dissect the lies that are often fed to helpers, and take a dive into several scripture verses that can help us think about social work in a way that sets us up for success.

As the classroom and laboratory moved to a computer screen through remote learning, my students and I learned new things about the virus through research into its evolution. This research came from a conviction that God made the world in a way that we can take it apart and, by God’s grace, put it back together again with medicine and vaccines. The students who took part in this process created new knowledge that let us understand more about this virus. God gave us hope and healing, even in unprecedented times, through careful, humble science.

So where do we fit into God's story as future healers and healthcare workers? Is there anything unique about working for the health of others as a Christian? In this session, we will explore these questions and more, focusing on health justice and equity, rest and boundaries in healthcare, when medical ethics meet Christian ethics, health systems versus health care, and being a faithful steward of your training and education. Whether you are an aspiring nurse, physician, midwife, pharmacist, physical therapist, or any other member of the healthcare team, or are unsure but asking any of the questions above, you are welcome.

Redemptive is leading ventures that reach beyond best practices and ethical baselines. Redemptive is surrendered ambition and cultural renewal for the sake of others. Redemptive is loving God and loving our neighbor by responding to the world’s pressing issues with ambition, ingenuity, and hope.

We will catch a vision for our future by remembering about how God launched national revivals in the past through college students. How can we partner with God in prayer to see another movement renewed in our day, on our campuses? Can we really see every student marked by the presence of Jesus?

In this crisis of hope, redemption is the antidote to believing in nothing but ourselves. Redemptive entrepreneurship is creating new ventures—be it businesses, nonprofits, or social enterprises—that reach beyond best practices and ethical baselines.

Redemptive leadership is surrendered ambition and cultural renewal for the sake of others. Redemption involves loving God and loving our neighbor by responding to the world’s pressing issues with ambition, ingenuity, and hope.

How do you create a pattern of rest in your busy life? What can you do on your Sabbath day? Do you have to take a Sabbath on Sundays? Or do Wednesdays work? 

If you want to do important and life-giving work over the course of your life, you will have to learn to NOT do that work. Rest is woven into the fabric of God's world and ...well...Sabbath keeping is a commandment.
