Passage: Matthew 25:14-30
How do we pursue Godly relationships with other believers? God has given you so much to share with your friends and family. Understanding and using what God has given us is a key to pursuing Godly relationships.
Passage: Matthew 5:13-16
Whether we want it to or not, the way we live communicates certain things to the people around us. Followers of Jesus are called to live in a way that reflects their heavenly Faither. This makes us different than the world and adjusts how we approach relationships.
Passage: John 15:4-12
Sometimes we wake up one day and realize an important relationship to us has drifted apart. This happens with friends, but this also happens with Jesus. How do we faithfully remain in relationship with Jesus? Answering that might give us some clues to our earthly relationships as well.

Joshua Dalzell serves as the head of Spiritual Care and Campus Life at Linden Christian School. His passion is helping students follow Jesus’ example in every aspect of life Joshua is happily married to his incredible wife, Amy, and they have two children, William and Brooklyn.

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
Whether we are serving, studying scripture, or praying, we do it best when we do it with others.

Student Workshop Presenters

At our Student Leadership Conferences, we provide a distinctive opportunity for high school students to create and present workshops to their fellow students. This exceptional experience enables leadership students to grasp the process of researching, preparing, and delivering a workshop, all with the support of a mentor teacher. We firmly believe in empowering students to cultivate their leadership abilities, and presenting a workshop to their peers is a remarkable privilege and a significant chance to make a lasting impact on their lives. This year, we eagerly anticipate the innovative presentations that students have prepared for the conference.
