RADIATE 2011: Day 2

Today started off super early- well, for college standards. The first main session was set to begin at 9:00am, so we all headed down around 8:40am to get a good spot in line to enter the room (first rule of Radiate- if you want to sit near the front, be outside the door waiting half an hour before the session starts).

Unfortunately, I am now ending the day at 2:30am, having just concluded 2 hours straight of playing ninja with students from across the region. As such, I am going to have to postpone the rest of these updates until I have time to sit down and do them thoroughly- and not when I really need to get to bed.

So look for a LOT of new information come the New Year, and have a blessed celebration of it with your friends and family. :)

RADIATE 2011: Day 1

Merry Belated Christmas, everyone!

This is Melissa, your web mistress, posting from the very end of day one at Radiate here in Baltimore Inner Harbor, Maryland. As usual, I will be posting at the end of each day with a summary of what we did, as well as tweeting continuously throughout the entire conference. You can follow our twitter at @MontclairCru. :)

RADIATE 2011, Day 1

The day started off with hours and hours….and hours…. and hours of driving. My car took a grand total of 6 hours to get here, with the longest journey from our school being 7 hours total! Finally, we all arrived- most of us had to go to late registration, but none of us missed the events this year! Thank the Lord for that!

5:30pm- Campus Time! All of us who were here from Jersey Metro met up in Salon D, for getting to know you games and basic info for the remaining campus times this week. :) Afterwards, we all split up to go with some of our staff members to various food places around the harbor for dinner. (Personally, I went to 5 Guys- for the first time ever)

7:30pm- Main Meeting: our very first main meeting of the week started off with some fantastic worship led by the Bridge Band, followed by the introduction of our emcees- Shelby Abbott and “Bullet”.

The night’s featured guest speaker was Roger Hershey. He talked to us about freedom, and how to free ourselves from areas of our lives where we feel bound and restricted.

Freedom- the power to do what’s right

Scripture: John 8:30-32

Believe- to be persuaded of something, to put our confidence in it

If you remain (abide) in His word, you are truly his student (disciple).

“Know” the truth.

Know- an experiential or relational knowledge, beyond the intellectual

Knowing the truth -> freedom

Only when we really know our sin can we actually know the truth of God.

Scripture: John 8:43-45

The Word of God and the People of God
1- Read & Study
2- Hear & Discuss
3- Books You Read
4- Memorize & Meditate
5- Recall in the Moment

The more Godly things you put in your life (and therefore more truth), the less room there is for lies and worldly things.

The more you know the truth, the easier it becomes I defend yourself from lies in the moment that they appear.

Ask Yourself:
What bondage do I experience?
What are the lies that I am believing?
What is the truth that I need to know do that I can be free?

I’ll be back with more updates tomorrow!
