CF Students Podcast

Our next speaker for our student Last Words series is Cooper Cutshall. He talks about the importance of not living halfway in your relationship with God. Fully living for God is far better than trying to balance both sides, and that true life is found in going all in with Him. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

Our next speaker for our student Last Words night is Emory Trent. She shares about the importance of finding a mentor, someone you can trust, be real with, and allow to speak into your life.

Our first speaker in our student Last Words series is Kennedy Watterson, a senior at Dobyns-Bennett High School.

This week, Katey is teaching, and we are talking about God moving toward us. Sometimes we think we have to have it all together before coming to God, but the truth is He’s already moving toward us. He’s already near, already pursuing, already at work. So today, we’re leaning in and making room for Him to meet us right where we are. Follow us on Instagram @cfstudents_

Today Richie is talking about how Jesus meets the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The disciples had an expectation, a picture in their minds of what Jesus would be like, and when things didn’t match that, they struggled to see what was actually right in front of them. But what if the reason they didn’t recognize Him right away is because they were so set on how they thought the story was supposed...

This week, we’re looking at two different postures, Mary and Judas. Both were close to Jesus, but only one chose to surrender. Judas showed up, but held back. Mary came to the feet of Jesus and poured out everything she had. So today, we’re inviting you into that same posture, to come to His feet, to lay it all down, and to not just be close… but fully surrendered. Follow us on instagram @cfstuden...

We’re in week three of our series Becoming, a journey through identity, truth, and freedom. Every single human being is restless with the question: Who am I? And while many of us have heard truth about who God says we are, there’s often a gap between the truth we hear and the freedom we actually live. This week, Katey steps into that tension and asks a powerful question: What does it take for trut...

We’re in week two of our series Becoming , a journey through identity, truth, and freedom. Every single human being is restless with the question: Who am I? And often, the lies we believe about ourselves don’t just shape our identity—they push us into hiding. This week, Logan talks about what it means to bring the lie into the light , because healing doesn’t begin when we try harder—it begins when...

We’re kicking off a brand-new series called Becoming, all about who we are, who we’re becoming, and the way God sees us. Every single human being is restless with the question: Who am I? So much of life is spent chasing answers, shaping ourselves around expectations, pressure, and labels, and often believing lies about who we really are. This week, Richie breaks down the difference between the fal...

This week, Kim talks about Jesus as the Savior for all people and what it really means to be transformed from the inside out. Not just changing actions, but changing the way we think and see ourselves. We’re asking questions like: Are you living like Jesus is holding out on you? Have you had thoughts lately that don’t line up with who God says you are—and what it could look like to rework them? Be...

This week, we talked about love — how, as we start to truly know Jesus and receive His love, it begins to change everything about us. Following Jesus means becoming people of love — a love that transforms the way we live. When His love takes root in us, it changes everything. It brings peace where there used to be chaos, unity where there was division, and light where there was darkness. His love...

Tonight, we looked at sin—how it runs deeper than what we see on the outside. Jesus didn’t just come to cover over our mistakes; He came to break the bondage of sin. He came to uproot the deep roots that weigh us down and set us free to walk in His life. Revival means letting Him go beneath the surface, pulling up what doesn’t belong, and replacing it with His freedom and His love. So ask yourself...

We’re wrapping up our Telos series. Tonight was such a special night—one of those nights where God really meets us where we are. We talked about taking off masks —laying things down, stepping out of shame, overcoming fear, and embracing everything the Lord has for us. We aren’t meant to carry shame, and we aren’t meant to carry the weight of expectations. In Jesus, we receive freedom and we receiv...

We’re in week two of our Telos series. Tonight, we wrestled with the question of what to do when we’re afraid, and how to respond in those moments. Fear wants to grip us, but the truth is that perfect love casts out all fear. We don’t have to live under anxiety or pressure. Instead, Jesus invites us to lay it down and step into His presence. When we release fear, we step into His freedom, His love...

This past week was our fall kickoff, and we’re starting with a conversation about Telos — our chief aim in life. We’re asking: what are we really aiming at that guides everything else? The answer is Jesus. He is our telos. And through grace — God’s invitation and empowerment to walk with Him — we learn to be with Him, become like Him, and do the things He did. That’s the vision we’re chasing after...

We're back in our Last Words series. Our final senior to speak is Sophie Davis. Sophie is a senior at Dobyns-Bennett High School, and this week she shares about what it means to let go of the things of the world and how God restores and comforts us when we turn to Him. She reminds us of the truth that Jesus took our shame, addictions, and fear, defeating them at the cross, allowing us to live...

We're back in our Last Words series, and next up is Noah Meade, a senior at Dobyns-Bennett High School. This week, he shares the powerful story of the Prodigal Son and how we are always invited to return home.

Our first speaker for our student Last Words night is Griffin Moody. He is a senior at Dobyns-Bennett High School, and he shares a powerful word about the importance of community—how you're not meant to live life alone, and how, in the midst of community, you live closer with Jesus.

We're back, wrapping up the school year with the series we call Last Words. This week, Logan shares about the Father's love: how there's no place we can go where we aren’t met with the overwhelming love of the Father. We don’t have to live life wearing a mask because our identity comes from God, not the things we do. We hope you enjoy this message and know that you are a new creation,...

This week are finishing out our Christ Crucified series, learning what it looks like to live life with Jesus. Because its easy to say yes to Jesus in a moment, but when I have to apply it to my life, what does it look like? We learn that it is a daily choice, in which you don’t have to understand everything. We ended the night with an invitation to lay down one thing to Jesus, We encouraged studen...
