Discipleship | 3 Tracks
Leadership, Worldview, Missions

D3 is a youth conference about discipleship; discipleship is engagement.  Paul, nearing the end of his life, exhorted the young man Timothy saying, “No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.”  Can you say that you are engaged with the same singular dedication to the fight of faith that Paul charges Timothy to have?  If not, its time to consider how to avoid getting tangled in lesser pursuits and to stay locked in and on gospel mission with Christ.  For the Gospel is a call to arms, a call to have a wartime mentality with an undistracted purpose, sacrificial service, and committed vision for the supremacy of God in all things.  It is a battle to take hold of all that is ours in Christ Jesus.  Christ is our warrior-King and he has overcome sin, Satan, and the world; defeated death and reigns as the Sovereign Lord.  Therefore, if you are a Christian, He has enlisted you as a “good soldier of Christ” and we want to help you “Fight the good fight of the faith” to “take hold of the eternal life to which you were called”

The hope of D3 is that high school students go away with the same sense of urgency and devotion to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Discipleship will always be a reminder about our calling and mission as Christ’s soldier.  Keep engaged and stand firm good soldier, for your adversary prowls around like a lion seeking your destruction.  He will do all it takes to keep you from usefulness and fruitfulness, but Christ is worth all the shock and awe of the battleground Christian life and He has already won the victory.  Join us this year at the D3 Youth Conference to be encouraged in these life-sustaining, faith-feeding truths!

Are you ready for D3?
