Thank you for being a part of the very first livestreamed Steubenville Youth Conference! This will not be a series of random, pre-recorded talks. Rather, you will be joining a live conference broadcast from Orlando, Florida, through our digital platform. There will be a full band and dynamic worship, awesome talks, prayer, and fun! And most importantly, the Holy Spirit will be there, strengthening and empowering us.
We know that there are many across the nation who are participating as an individual and unable to gather with a group. You may be feeling isolated and trying to figure out how to best stay connected to others, especially during this time. We hope that the suggestions below will help you to enter into this time and experience the love of Christ.
Thank you for being here. May God bless you abundantly!
The Steubenville Conferences Team
- Reach out. Even if your youth group is not participating in the event, reach out to one person in your life (e.g., a friend, parent, sibling, mentor) to share about your experience.
- Invite a friend to sign up and watch, too! This may be an opportunity for a friend to encounter Jesus in a new way.
- Reflect and journal. Keep a journal and pen at hand. During the breaks, use the small group questions provided to pray with and write about what has stood out to you and what God is doing in your life.
- Spend time in personal prayer. Read and pray with the Scriptures that were shared in the keynotes. Allow God to speak to you through them. Sit in silence in the Lord’s presence. A simple method to follow:
Praise: Offer God praise and thanksgiving for who he is and what he has done for you.
Ask: Offer prayers of petition to God for your intentions and the intentions of others. He wants us to speak our needs to him.
Listen: Silence your heart and mind and wait for God to speak. It may be helpful to read a passage from Scripture. Sit in silence, paying attention to how your heart or mind may be moved to a particular word or image.
- Post comments and pictures in the live chat and/or to social media using the hashtag #SteubieLive to tell us about your conference experience!
