        Go ahead. Kick the tires.

        See what your students will learn in College Life 101.

        Session 1  - The College Experience (43:21) 

        College is an exciting time in life, but the college environment is trickier than most high school students anticipate. This session clearly lays out the four challenges of the college experience.  Understanding the college environment can help your students avoid the problems and heartache many have encountered. 


         Your students will learn:
        • Three emotions that will fuel their temptations in college. 
        • Two destructive areas of sin that Christians face on campus. 
        • One argument that can take away their faith.
        • Zero community support for their faith as new students.


        Session 2  - Own It: Wear Big Shoes (38:29) 
        College offers a world of adult freedoms, ideas and choices, but many students “shoes” are not big enough to handle these opportunities. 
        Your students will need to make their faith more real and personal to successfully navigate the college experience. 

        Your students will learn:
        • The reality of their God-given personal authority. 
        • How to be courageous in the face of peer pressure. 
        • The process of developing a stronger identity in Christ.

        Session 3  - Own It: Be Earthquake Proof (32:17) 
        The University’s greatest weapon against Christianity is to discredit the Bible as a historically reliable foundation to our faith.  Your students will become “earthquake proof” for college as they understand the integrity of the Bible.
         

        Your students will learn:
         • The university’s three criticisms of the Bible.

         • How to refute the university’s three criticisms of the Bible.
         • How The Princess Bride dispels one criticism of the Bible.



        "This session really strengthened my confidence in the Bible and its validity."

        Session 4  - Live It: Don't Be A Trout (24:34) 
        In college your students will be tempted to meet their God-given needs in counterfeit ways. Understanding the process of temptation and the depth of their forgiveness will help them to not take "the bait" that is put before them. 

        Your students will learn:
         • How ignoring their God-given needs will lead them into temptation and sin.
         • How to get their God-given needs met in God-honoring ways.
         • How to walk in the forgiveness they have in Christ each day. 
         • The single biggest issue that makes students stop looking for fellowship.


        Session 5  - Live It: Find Your Puzzle (22:35) 
        Community is crucial to help us grow in our faith, but finding a new Christian community is a very overwhelming task for many high school graduates.  Your students are like a piece of a puzzle that need to learn how to find where they connect.
          

         Your students will learn:
        • Three benefits of being involved in Christian fellowship. 
        • Six principles in finding the Christian community that is right for them.
        • Two methods for looking for fellowship on-line before they get to college.


        Session 6  - Share It: Get In The Game (26:58)
        Jesus said we will grow in our faith when we die to ourselves and start serving others. This session will help your students see how God is using college students to build His kingdom on campus and around the world and how they can get in the game. 

         What your students will learn:
        • That college students are lost without Christ.
        • That college students are open to conversations about God.
        • How God is using college students to grow His kingdom.
