⭕️☝🏻 Cru Lead Recap 2/8/23

The purpose of Cru Lead is to gather the leaders from across all of our target areas together in one room.

We want to teach them to walk with God and lead others spiritually.

Have you ever had this happen?

You heard someone suggest that you should talk to your friends about Jesus more.

Within the next few days, a friend opened up about something.

You feel compelled to go for it. To ask a question to shift the conversation to something spiritual.

But then you think of a reason why not to…

And you don’t.

How many 1 on 1 meeting’s with a student in the union does it take to equal the relational depth you can get with someone making a memory for a full day?

In the first full year of re-launching OK Cru, we are thrilled to share an update on how God has helped us meet our goals this year.

Each day in Fall Camp, Clemson Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney gathers his team. He asks each player to take a turn on the stage in front of the entire team and be on the hot seat. He says that doing this breeds vulnerability and vulnerability creates love. Love is what is going to fuel a guy to do one more rep in the weight room, one more pass in practice, or push that much harder on 4th and Goal.

There are plenty of negative motivators that can create a fear of sharing our faith.

It's a reality for all of us.

Yet, in this episode of the OK Cru Podcast David D shares about how he went from a fraternity guy not knowing how to talk about Jesus to learning how to lead other people to Christ.

This path helps a leader become a life-giving force leaving a relational legacy on campus.

The path always follows a few checkpoints…

We all would say we want to influence others and have an impact in a tangible way. Yet, from my experience, most people don't have this journey charted out. They leave the trajectory up to chance and hope they wander there one day. You need a map to get from where you are to where you want to be. Here are 8 things you need on your own roadmap to leaving a legacy.

On the debut episode of OU Eats Season 2, we talked with Dakota, an OU freshman, about his spiritual journey at OU. I think you will be encouraged to hear more about what God is teaching him and take the next step in your own spiritual journey.

We think 947 students will take the next step in their faith from learning about the role of the local church…

To do that watch this VIDEO!

As a student in college,  What if could transport you into the future?

What if you could immediately realize all the success, impact, and legacy that you will have when you are 85.

Here's the catch... you can't undo it. You don't get to come back from being 85.

Would you do it?

The first time I heard about grace gifts, I rolled my eyes.

Here is why and the lessons you can learn from my hubris...

We all know that praying is an important part of our spiritual life.

Yet for most of my life, my prayers were to pass a test, win a football game, or for a girl to like me. Prayers were a request list to God to make my life the way I wanted.

Now, using a particular method, my prayer life has become a rich and meaningful ritual of mine. Here is the journey that led me to make a change...

We also live in the most distracted age ever. Now more than ever, it is harder to slow down, focus on deep work, and especially hear from God. If we don’t figure out how to connect with God, and in particular slow down to seek and listen to the leading from the Holy Spirit, we run a huge risk. This pace can result in the stunting of our spiritual growth, leading to wandering from intimacy with God and, in turn, relying too much on ourselves.

As we always say, Winter Conference is one of the best things we do in Cru. A big reason why is while you are at the conference, you get to experience all three parts of Cru’s mission; Win, Build, and Send.
