If you’re a teenager, you have plenty of work to do already, and work of one kind or another is a big part of your future.
When it comes to work, you are facing some big questions:
- Does my work really matter?
- How can I decide what work to pursue?
- What if my work ends in disappointment?
The truth is: Your daily work, now and in the future, is part of your relationship with God.
Paul said: "Your labor is not in vain" (1 Corinthians 15:58). That is the theme of this event.
This event is developed in partnership with Live Oak Academy.

Free Book
David Bahnsen's Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life makes a bracing case that ordinary daily work matters to God. We appreciated its enthusiasm for working hard at whatever God calls and equips us to do. The author has generously donated 100 copies for us to give out at this event.
