Giving God Everything
By Wesley Grizzard
What does it really mean to give God everything? This is one I’ve always struggled with. Honestly, I think we can all say that we struggle with this one. Some things in our lives are easy to give to God, other things…not so much. For me, it took me understanding that it’s not about me and I’m not in control, that God is sovereign, that He has already laid out my future, and that worrying about it never got anyone anything except a receding hairline!
We are human, which means we’re flawed. We make a lot of mistakes and ...
Media: A Tool for Proclamation
Written by Billy Long
If you've ever asked yourself what it looks like to be the "Media Guy" at a summer camp, I can give you an idea: it's just a little crazy! We, as media guys, wear many hats, both during camp and in the off-season during the school year.

Flexibility: Living on God’s Timetable
By Myles Morrison
I don’t know about you, but I like everything to be worked out ahead of time. Make things simpler and easier with planners, schedules, and alarms.

By Dennis Farris

Maybe your business is successful, incredibly successful, and you make a ton of profit every day.

New Life’s Eve: A Summer Camp Holiday
By Nathaniel Miller
At New Life Camp, we greatly desire for campers to make decisions to follow Jesus. For some, that means repenting of their sin and trusting the good news that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus can give them new hearts and lives. For others, it means responding to the teaching of the Bible and the Holy Spirit with a renewed commitment to their first love. Each week of summer camp is building toward Thursday, a day we call New Life’s Eve, a day where decisions like these can be made.
It begins with an explanation at ...
