This past weekend was Jubilee 2010. The CCO invites professionals, artists, and musicians to engage with college students and young adults about faith and life.
We hear personal stories and struggles about believers learning what it looks like to live out their faith in every area of life.
Before I went to college, I compartmentalized my faith. I was never taught that being a pastor or a missionary or working for the CCO wasn’t any more glorifying to God than being a teacher, a waitress or a lawyer.
There is no such thing as sacred and secular professions, music, art or authors. Paraphrasing Colossians 1:16-17, all things were created by Him and for Him. Everything. Every bit of this creation is God’s.
This past six years of my life, I’ve been learning what it looks like to give Him all of these different areas of my life in order that He may take and use them and make them into the good, gloriousness He originally intended for them to be.
I want to live the complete gospel. The creation, fall, redemption, restoration gospel. The God created the world to work a certain way, but we’re broken; He makes us new, but it doesn’t stop there gospel. We are to bring the Good News to others, to play a part in bringing restoration to other disjointed people, professions, films, music and books.
This is what students heard, saw, and talked about this weekend. This is what they were encouraged to take back to their campuses.
