20/20 Conference

This past weekend 54 students and 5 Generation Link Staff headed up to Wake Forest, NC to attend the SEBTS 20/20 Conference. 20/20 is put on by Southeastern Seminary every year to provide an environment where college students are engaged with the gospel. This year’s conference title was A City Within A City: Church, Culture, and Counter-culture. The conference description was: "God’s church always finds herself in the midst of a broader human culture. We as believers have the great privilege and responsibility of finding ways to display the truth, goodness, and beauty of God and his gospel. Come and join us as we explore how to witness for God in the midst of a skeptical, morally confused culture." We heard from Matt Chandler, David Platt, J.D. Greear, Clayton King, and SEBTS President Danny Akin. It was a great conference and was very challenging!




In the midst of attending the conference Bay Leaf Baptist Church provided a place for all 59 of us to stay. Their gracious hospitality provided a great time of fellowship to play basketball in their gym, play games, and discuss what the Lord had taught us over the course of the conference. Many of our students were encouraged and challenged by the teaching. I pray that as the students continue to mature in their walks with the Lord they can look back to times, like this weekend, and be reminded that as Christians we never move past the centrality of the gospel to our lives.
