CrossCon2025 Videos
Welcome to a space designed just for you as we journey together through the teachings of Cross Con 2025! I think after watching these videos you may understand what a powerful event this was! Cross Con is all about equipping students and young adults to live on mission for Christ in their everyday lives, and we’re excited to extend these lessons to your home.
​
Throughout this series, you’ll find teaching videos that challenge and inspire both students and adults to embrace their role in God’s story. Each session is packed with biblical wisdom, real-world application, and encouragement to live out the Great Commission.
​
Here’s how you can engage with these videos:
​
-
Watch Together as a Family, Small Group or by yourselves– You can even consider watching these videos with your student. It’s a great opportunity to hear what they’re learning and discuss how it applies to your family’s walk with Christ.
-
Start Conversations – Use the videos as a launching point for family discussions. We’ll provide prompts to help you explore the themes and encourage reflection.
-
Pray as a Family – Let these teachings inspire your prayer life. Pray together for boldness to live on mission and for those who don’t yet know Christ.
-
Most Importantly: Take Action – As you listen to the challenges presented, think about ways your family can take steps to live on mission, whether that’s in your community or beyond.
Or you can use the guides below as a way to think, pray and journal through the content in these videos. These videos are more than just teaching tools; they’re opportunities to strengthen your relationship with your student and deepen your family’s faith together. Thank you for partnering with us as we seek to guide the next generation to glorify God and make His name known. Let’s make this a transformative journey for your family!

In Christ,
