How LIT Camp Equipped Me to Lead and Share My Faith

Red: From Enemies to Friends
Romans 5 doesn't flatter us, it calls us powerless, ungodly enemies of God. But here's the beauty: we're more sinful than we dare believe, yet more loved in Jesus than we dare hope for, because He died for His enemies to make them friends.
YELLOW — New Life and Eternal Hope
The final colour, yellow, represents light restored and future glory. When we trust in Jesus, God gives us his Holy Spirit to live in us — a sure promise of the life to come.
Black: Rebellion, Sin, and Stumbling in Darkness
Genesis 3 doesn't start with violence or murder, it starts with doubt: "Did God really say?" The black bead represents how sin enters through suspicion, shatters three perfect relationships in oe, and leaves us stumbling in darkness.
Red: Jesus and the Cross
The red colour brings us to the heart of the Christian message. Jesus is the promised serpent crusher who stepped into the darkness for us.
White: Light, Relationship and Life with God
The white bead represents that God made us to be His friends—to walk in the light of His ways. You are created in God's image, formed from dirt yet dignified by God's breath, designed for relationship, and placed under His joyful, life-giving authority.
Black: Darkness, Rebellion, and God’s Promise
Black represents darkness. Adam and Eve rejected God’s rule and chose to define good and evil for themselves.
Green: God Creates Good
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

Is Joy To The World a Christmas Carol?
Is "Joy to the World" actually a Christmas carol? Tim reveals that Isaac Watts never intended it as a seasonal song. It's about all three advents of Christ, and it deserves to be sung all year round.

Why Didn't Your Grandparents Deconstruct? Peace, Postmodernism & Christmas Traditions
Church hurt isn't new, but leaving the church is. Millennials were culturally programmed to see exit as more authentic than reform, while grandparents who experienced the same pain stayed. What changed, and which traditions are worth fighting to keep?
God, Why Would You Want a Relationship with Me?
Why would the God of the universe, who made Moses glow, expelled Adam and Eve, and inspired reverent fear, want a personal relationship with simple little you? Or more importantly: Why don't you want a relationship with Him?
Thanking God for Community Groups
We are thankful to God for our Community Groups this year.
Six-Seven, Memes and Movements
What does a meaningless meme about the numbers six and seven tell us about internet culture, Gen Z, and how Christians should respond? Joel, Ethan and Brayden break down why postmodernism has won the culture war, and why God is still making Christians through TikTok anyway.
