2013 - 15th International Student Leadership Conference Report and Download
The 15th Student Leadership Conference - "Blessed by God to Bless Others" - was a huge blessing. We learned that God has blessed us greatly and it is for His purpose, not ours.
Student Quotes:
I was inspired to exercise greater leadership for Christ and to get involved more with the activities and people around me. It was inspiring because of the people who have been preaching to us about these things and because I could see this kind of spirit in the people around me.
I was afraid of failing but I am not anymore. I hope I can be a blessing to others because I am blessed by God.
I was feeling sad and mad because of many difficulties in my life. My heart was locked, but here God opened it again. I learned a lot from the workshops and sessions. And I know it might be difficult to be a leader but God is going to be with me and I am willing to follow Him! And I know I don't have to fear because He is going to make it all right.
He blessed me so much I can't write everything down but one of the biggest blessings was that He talked to me. I had forgot to be a living blessing. I discovered it anew. Thanks for helping and bringing me this blessing!

- Blessed by God - Psalm 1

Strengthening Critical Thinking
Christian schools are often intentional about teaching worldview and preparing students to engage with competing ideas. Yet the way we structure this engagement can either nurture deep critical thinking or unintentionally foster shallow habits of argument. Here are some practical tools to support critial thinking in the classroom.
Education as a Restoration of Hope
Today we turn to the good news: God’s plan of restoration through Christ. This is not only a personal hope but also a framework for how we think about education, leadership, and the shaping of society. How can we build meaningful outcomes into the process of teaching and learning which truly reflect the hope we have in Christ?
Recognizing the Problem of Sin
The foundational, yet often overlooked, reality is the way sin impacts both teaching and learning. As school leaders, we cannot view education merely as the transfer of knowledge or the development of skills. Education is always moral and spiritual, shaped either by truth that comes from God or by distortions introduced by sin.
