Life and Faith After High School: Where is God calling me, and how can I practically grow in my faith? - Hosted by Redeemer University

Louis Kim

In this session we are going to zoom out a little bit and think about some of the big questions. What am I passionate about? What are my talents? Where do I see need in the world? How do these impact what I want to study and how to choose a career? Some of you might know exactly what you are hoping to do, regardless this session will help you to start working towards an idea of vocation.

We will also explore practical ways in which you can actively grow in your faith and make it your own after you leave the four walls of your school/home. Come join us as we wrestle with why many leave their faith or become/stay lukewarm as they enter this next stage of their lives, and how we can ensure that does not happen to us.
