Saying Yes to God
 
Don’t be fooled by the title or the religious speaker – this talk is not about a religious vocation. It is about the purpose of our existence; it is about becoming a saint.

Breaking the Mold
 
In a world where culture works to mold us into anything other than the dignified children of God that we are, we must stand as lights in the darkness, break the mold of cultural expectations, and live countercultural lives. Don’t fall prey to the lies of our culture, but break the mold and learn what it means to be a saint of the third millennium.
