The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Can your life be explained with words like: ordinary, normal, average, on par and sufficient? Or is there an ambition, a mission, a motivation and a great underlying cause that characterizes your life? Are you ‘radically’ different because of the grace found in the Gospel of Jesus?

The Radical conference will examine the intrinsic relationship between theology and mission and what that means for a Christian like you. At ‘Radical’ we will seek to understand at a deeper, transformational level what it means to live a Christ-honoring lifestyle. Join us this year for GMAA: Radical as we consider how the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ influences our wallets, our conversations, our relationships, our ministries … our entire lives. That’s not being radical - that’s reading, absorbing and living out the Word of God.

We hope that this conference will both challenge and encourage college students to live godly lives in Christ Jesus. Southern Seminary’s desire is to equip college students with a deep knowledge of the Word for the pressing issues they face daily.
