Passion

Last year I had the privilege of attending the Passion Conference 2019. Passion is a Christian conference for college aged students, but high school seniors are allowed to attend as well. I got word of the conference and ended up going with a local church. Little did I know the life change Christ was planning.

Have you ever been complacent? Have you felt stagnant in your Christian walk? I didn’t really know that I had…until I no longer was. Most of the time you don’t realize you’re complacent until you’re no longer complacent. For me, I didn’t realize I was “settling” in my spiritual walk until I felt a fire burning in my soul after Passion.

Something about the worship, inspiring messages, and vulnerable conversations with my best friend during Passion radically changed my life. It was one of those moments where I was like, “Wow. I get it.” I came back from the experience wanting to incorporate Jesus into every conversation. I listened to only worship music for two weeks or so. I started journaling and wanting to be disciplined in my faith. It was one of those experiences where you know God is present, and you will remember the impact He had on you for the rest of your life.

And I use this time to say from the depths of my soul, I am begging you to be a part of Passion 2020. The dates are from December 31-January 2 in Atlanta, Georgia. Attend the conference. Or tune in live from home. Whatever the case, put yourself in the mix. It is completely worth it. I pray God works as much as He did last year in my life and in others.

Thank you God for your Holy Spirit who lives inside of us. Thank you for opening my eyes to your restorative power. There is nothing I or anyone can do that can separate us from Your unconditional love. You consistently pursue us, even when we fail to recognize it. Thank you Lord for Passion and for uniting thousands of students through your presence. It was a “beautiful adventure” last year, and I pray for nothing less this year.
