Reformed University Fellowship - University of Maryland - Chris Garriott

“The Gospel is not just the ABC’s of the Christian life it’s the A to Z.”  The same Gospel that saves us also gives us the power to grow and change. We will look at justification and sanctification.  Do you feel like you don’t quite live up to God’s standards and you have a nagging thought that God must not be pleased with you?  Do you feel like a failure in a culture which demands you to constantly live up to it’s expectations: GPA, physical appearance, Instagram posts that go unnoticed, the list goes on. The gospel speaks directly into these issues with real hope.

There are countless beautiful and God-glorifying things that culture can give us and allow us to experience. Unfortunately, it can also carve a path ripe for harm and abuse. In our time together we’ll identify and hold space for the cyclical spiritual and emotional violence seen against women in this culture. We’ll build our toolkit around recognizing and preventing these harms, and on how we can be allies, friends, and healers. We’ll look at the dignity and grace that the Gospel gives to those who suffer, and the vision of splendor and wonder of being daughters fully alive in His image. Here's a link to the resources provided in the seminar
