WHO SPONSORS JUBILEE?
The CCO is a campus ministry that partners with churches, colleges and other organizations to develop men and women who live out their Christian faith in every area of life.
Our ministry is distinct in three ways: 1. Our ministry is transformational. We challenge the students we serve to submit every area of their lives to Jesus Christ. 2. We partner with churches, colleges and other organizations, placing our staff in strategic positions of influence on campus. Some of our staff people serve as an arm of the local church on campus, while others work as residence hall directors, coaches or student activities directors. 3. We do contextual ministry, meaning that our staff people adjust to the needs of the particular campus at which they serve. No two CCO ministries look exactly alike.
Everything. That’s what God made. That’s what God cares about. That’s what Jesus reconciled through His blood on the cross. That’s what God calls us—as followers of Jesus, enlivened by the Holy Spirit—to engage for His Kingdom’s sake. It’s audacious to claim that a conference could change all that, all that everything. And though we may lean toward audacity from time to time, we know it is not this weekend that could change everything. But the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the promise that His sacrifice makes possible the redemption and restoration of the whole world—nothing is more audacious than that. That’s a truth that will change—well, everything! Certainly, we hope that this weekend will change you, too. We hope that here, God will expose you to new ideas, new passions, new callings and meaning for your life. We’re praying that you will be transformed into a change agent for God’s Kingdom. After all, the whole story of the Bible points us to God’s work of changing a broken world back into the perfectly aligned and thriving creation He originally intended. While we know that Jesus will be the ultimate restorer, as bearers of His image and members of His body, He invites us into the family business—to create signposts in our pieces of the everything that will point toward their ultimate restoration. We have designed this conference to introduce you to people who are seeking to live their lives as those signposts. It is our hope that in hearing from them, and from one another as you process what you are hearing, you will understand more deeply your place in the larger work that Christ is doing in the world. We hope that you will hear things that excite you, that challenge you, that confuse you, and that inspire you. Most of all, we hope this weekend isn’t just a weekend for you, but rather a signpost on your journey—the journey of a life animated by Jesus’ love and grace in order to reflect the love and grace of Jesus in all you do. It could change everything. 3

Take a prayer walk through the city. Slip into the Prayer Room (Armstrong) for a space to pray or to be prayed for throughout the weekend.
SOCIALIZE
Jubilee gathers together a rare community of people from all over the country. You’ll find women and men who share your calling, interests, passions, and some with whom you have little in common. These connections provide incredible opportunities to explore, discuss, learn, and discern together. Look up friends from previous Jubilees and make new ones. Re-imagine the world together, share what’s working on your campus, put your frustrations and triumphs into words. Meals are a perfect time for this, so never eat alone!
BROWSE
You won’t want to miss the exhibits! You’ll find some wonderful organizations offering great resources and opportunities. Stop by these booths to connect, network and learn.
CELEBRATE
We’re thrilled that this weekend will challenge you to think in new ways about old ideas, or discover old thoughts about new things. Don’t be afraid to have some fun as you think. God has invited us to be part of his work in the world—that’s a great reason to have a party. Jubilee is our party and we’re so glad you are here!

Zach Williams Concert
Zach was a late bloomer as songwriters go and didn’t perform his first song publicly till near the end of college. That was in 2004 and the music and Zach have been growing ever since. He stumbled upon a sound that is both soulful and penetrating and his music represents the communities he has had the privilege to pass through, experience, and the ones he is still holding on to. The band’s Americana folk sound drifts towards all-out rock’ n’ roll at moments.
Saturday 10:30 p.m.
Living into the Story of Education in America Greg Veltman
As citizens and future stakeholders in American education, we are called to be engaged in the work of teaching the next generation and stewarding society.

Using the recent film, Waiting for Superman, we will look at some of the most pressing questions confronting American society in regard to education.

breakout session ONE SATURDAY, 11 a.m. The Artist Reborn
Emily and Kenyon Adams
In this session, we will explore faithfulness and the call of the artist in three areas: God’s faithfulness, our faithfulness, and what comes of faithfulness. We will share our own journey as Christian artists to illustrate how God has used our calling as artists to help bring us to wholeness and to a closer relationship with Him.

Searching for Honest Faith Kent Annan
What do you do when your faith gets shaken? Or if you have lingering questions about God? Kent spent the past year working in Haiti in the wake of one of the biggest natural disasters in the world. When facing any tough issue, we have to be completely honest as we seek God and justice. We’re searching for honest faith that makes sense in this real, messed up, beautiful world.
Cambria East
Transforming Male Sexuality Anthony Bradley
This men-only session explores strategies for identifying and transforming the sexual brokenness that every man battles. This will be a frank, honest conversation about issues like sexually-addictive habits, pornography, same-sex attraction, healthy sexual desire, and so on, as they connect to basic struggles with God-formed masculine identity.
Allegheny Ballroom 3
A Call to Education: Convictions, Coaches and Communities Justin Cook
Are you feeling called to work in education? In this session, we’ll consider how God’s loving pursuit of us involves a deep sense of conviction, a coach, and a community, as Steven Garber mentions in his book The Fabric of Faithfulness. Come prepared to share your own fears and excitement about what it might mean to be a Christian and a teacher in the 21st Century.
Westmoreland East
The African American Experience as Spiritual Metaphor Eric DOLCE
Many Christians are uncomfortable discussing race and ethnicity and even think faith erases the unique histories and social issues that make people groups distinct. In an effort to increase the appearance of harmony, believers often profess indifference towards the reality of race. This seminar will explore the costs of avoiding racial issues and the spiritual benefits of embracing the God-given differences between people.
Butler West
The Power to Transform: How the Study of History Can Help You Grow Spiritually John Fea
Can the study of history transform our spiritual lives? How can the study of the past enable us to better love God and others? This session will discuss some of the uses and misuses of the past among Christians today.
Crawford East
This Could Only Happen to You: Writing (and Telling) a True Story Denise Frame Harlan
Your life is dear and precious to God—but to the rest of us, your life looks a little bizarre, and you have a lot of explaining to do. When you listen to your life, what do you hear? How will you communicate your story to others? Why does it matter? We will talk about the basics of personal writing, memoir and spiritual memoir. Bring a pen, paper and life experience.
DLCC 308
A Christian Theory of Popular Culture, or “Why you should care about Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons or Taylor Swift” Ken Heffner
The Christian community has struggled with either condemning anything coming from “secular” pop culture or treating it as a commodity for which we should have little concern. What does it mean to listen to music deeply and discern what is good and bad about it? This workshop will involve listening to music.

Students and Mobilizers of Activism in the Church
PLYWOOD Presents Social Entrepreneurship: Co/laboration
College students and the Church share an important and remarkable past. Throughout history, students have often been the source of the Church’s movements for justice, mercy, and the cultural good. The Church is in need of young, authentic students to challenge her to become all that God has called her to be. This seminar will challenge students to love the Church while compelling the Church towards her original intent.
No great idea can survive on its own. Whether you are leading a company, an organization, and/or social change, we all need to work together if we want our passions to become reality.

Missionality Disciples Eric Mason
This session is designed for the student who wants a more wellrounded understanding of discipleship that is deeply connected to the mission of the Gospel—killing two birds with one stone.
The Veneer of Culture
Jason Locy and Tim Willard
In one way or another, we all speak the language of our culture, as we mimic celebrities, buy in to the promise of consumption, and place our trust in the hope of technology. It affects the way we dress, the jobs we take, and even how we interact with our friends. Join Jason and Tim as they examine the impact the culture has on our humanity, our relationships, and our view of God.
DLCC 310

From Disney Dubai to Divinity Mel McGowan
How have Disney’s Magic Kingdoms influenced the real world, and even impacted the advancement of God’s Kingdom? How are multidisciplinary designers creating environments such as Disney and Dubai in order to revolutionize sacred space globally?

Can God Still Use Me Even Though My Life Is A Mess? Jeff McMullen
We love to tell ourselves and others that we are a lot more competent, successful and powerful than we really are. The truth is, the same brokenness that pervades the world rules our hearts. In this session, we will explore how God can use our brokenness to redeem His world.
Westmoreland Central
Make College Count: A Kingdom Vision for First-Year Students Derek Melleby
Why are you going to college? For some, the answer is obvious: you go to college because a college degree can (potentially) open up doors to a successful career. But how do we define success in the Kingdom of God? This interactive session is for students early in their college journey who are looking for ways to make the most of the college experience. We will discuss the challenges to Christian faith during the college years and think through practical ways for making a Kingdom vision a reality on campus.
Calling and Career William Messenger
Does God call people to ordinary (non-church) work? If so, how can you tell where God is calling you? You may be surprised how much the Bible has to say about your work. God’s call may be where your gifts and skills, the needs of the world, and the deepest desires of your heart come together in the freedom of Christ.

Engaging the world without destroying it or being destroyed by it
The Integration of Faith and Learning: Faith’s Exciting Journey Part 1
How should a Christian approach policy? Can a Christian seek to change evil in the world without being overwhelmed by it? How should a Christian in government distinguish between the mandates of government and the Church? Using examples from her work in foreign policy, Jessica Patterson will discuss how faith shapes her approach to policy and what it means to pursue redemption in a messy, complicated world.
This two-part seminar will clearly explain the integration of faith and learning for both faculty and campus ministers. Originally given to faculty, clergy, and campus ministers of central Indiana through a series of Lilly grants, these seminars will feature a theoretical and a practical demonstration of faith’s exciting journey. The first seminar will discuss four theoretical positions that attempt to integrate faith and learning. They are: Positivism; the “Two Hats” position; Dualism; and the “inner reformation of the sciences.” We will practically show in this seminar how one’s fundamental worldview teaches “facts” in a dramatically different manner.

Living out the Gospel by DLCC 309 providing health care to the poor in the inner-city and Africa Following Christ to the City: A Charles Schubert Father/Son Perspective During this workshop, Dr. Schubert will relate his journey in founding a Christian health center in the inner-city from vision to opening day and beyond. He will discuss the connection between seeing patients in an American inner-city and in rural Africa and how the skill set necessary to work in either place is surprisingly similar. We will also discuss insights and challenges to following your dreams and passions and living out your Christian call.

Crawford West
DLCC 306
Scott Todd
In his highly graphical presentation, “The Church Will End Extreme Poverty,” Dr. Scott Todd, a skeptic turned advocate, gives clear and compelling evidence about why extreme poverty is on its way to the history books. Join him and find out how you can join a unified global Church in the “true fast” and begin making an impact today. Face up to this unsung reality: the poor will NOT always be with you. Ending extreme global poverty is not only possible, it’s probable. In our lifetime. Be a part of the possible.
DLCC Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom
God-honoring academics Anthony Tongen
What does it mean for you to be a Christian college student? We will discuss what the Bible has to say about your call as a college student and avenues for you to use your “studentness” to serve the King. We will examine academic faithfulness from the perspective of one faculty member’s expectations of his Christian students.

How can being a creative person bring life and hope into places of need? Imagine how your energy and ideas can cultivate the “beloved community.”
In this session, I will share my story as a professional dancer and how my faith has shaped my career and life. We will also have a conversation regarding all of our personal stories and experiences. This session will be geared specifically to young dancers.

Mission & Incarnation Kent Annan
My wife and I moved to Haiti eight years ago. Within 24 hours, we were living with no water, no electricity, and under a tin roof with people who spoke no English. We stumbled plenty, but also learned a lot. How do we approach ministry on our campuses, in our American inner-cities, and around the world? How do we push ourselves to follow Jesus radically, but rely on grace along the way? We’ll deal with these serious questions of theory and practice and be ready to laugh at ourselves along the way.
Kyle Bennett
Sports are often considered extra-curricular activities that are separate from the “real learning” that happens in the classroom. This session will explore the ways this perspective is mistaken. Sports cultivate in us valuable virtues and practices that help us flourish in our vocations. Athletics can make us better and more faithful Christians in whatever God has called us to.

Restorative Practices in Educational Communities Justin Cook
In The Next Christians, Gabe Lyons challenges us to see ourselves not as separatist Christians but as restorative Christians. What does that look like in our day-to-day work in education? The International Institute for Restorative Practices provides a compelling framework to answer that question. Together, we’ll consider how being a restorative teacher shapes our social interactions, our educational spaces, and even the way we approach our curriculum and learning.

Open Source Activism JR Kerr
The open-source concept is the simple idea that corporate wisdom and energy of the group are always better than that of the individual. It’s deeply impacting everything from software to organizations to leadership. Great leaders figure out how to craft their visions with clarity and collaboration.

Christ and Creation: How does the work of Jesus speak to life on earth? Jonathan Merritt
Jesus never addresses the issue of environmental protection. Not one time does he address climate, clean water or deforestation. So if Jesus seemingly didn’t care, does that mean we shouldn’t care? Actually, buried deep within the pages of our sacred text, we find surprising truths about the work of Jesus that empower us for life on planet Earth.

Jesus is an Engineer Ryan O’Dowd
God does not relate to the Christian engineering student—or any engineer for that matter—as some obscure, tech-junkie that has little to do with the Kingdom of God. Rather, the work of the engineer gives us crucial insight into God’s identity as the creator of the world and Jesus, through whom all things were made.

The Marketplace is Social Justice Anthony Bradley
This session explores why social justice is impossible without business people, lawyers, architects, teachers, scientists, health-care providers, etc. In the Kingdom, God uses the everyday vocations of his people to create just and virtuous communities. Because the only long-term solution to poverty is employment, it could change everything if we see that our vocations provide the platform for justice.

PLYWOOD Presents Social Entrepreneurship: Creating Something from Nothing
Walt Mueller
It’s been said that we become what we worship. Our calling is to worship and give glory to God in every nook and cranny of our lives. But our culture seems to raise, encourage, and reward those who worship the holy trinity of me, myself, and I. This just might be the greatest challenge to spiritual vitality that we face in our lives. In this seminar, Walt will lead you into an understanding of narcissism, its dynamics, and how it’s molding and shaping our lives, so that you are freed up to worship the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, rather than yourself.

The Perfect Woman Ryan O’Dowd
Modern advertising capitalizes on the feminine image for its power to sell. In its own way, the Bible has a way of revealing extraordinary valor, beauty, faith and perfection through the figure of a woman. In Proverbs 31, this woman is wisdom herself, and thus a picture of the perfectly-lived human life, whether male or female, adult or child, politician or farmer, Wall Street broker or artist.

SPEAKER
BOOKS
For most of Jubilee’s history, HEARTS & MINDS of Dallastown, Pennsylvania has been the conference bookstore. Emerging from Byron and Beth Borger’s involvement with the earliest Jubilee conferences, HEARTS & MINDS has been a local, independent bookstore which seeks to illustrate the thinking and perspective of Jubilee. The Jubilee conference and the book display affirm that Christ is Lord of every zone of life, and therefore His people must be continuously learning how best to serve Him in their various vocations, callings, classes and careers.

RECOMMENDED
READING
Basic Christian Discipleship Welcome to the Revolution: A Field Guide for New Believers Brian Tome (Nelson) $12.99 This is the most fun, interesting, basic, but very exciting call to Christian discipleship we’ve seen in years. Simple, witty, radical. Welcome to the Revolution! Faith on the Edge: Daring to Follow Jesus Paul Tokunaga & others (IVP) $16.00 This collection of short readings and discussion questions was created by women and men who work in campus ministry, offering busy students a tool for multi-faceted Christian growth. From our relationship with God to our relationships with others, from our daily jobs to the call to work for justice, from learning to worship to learning to forgive, this guides faithful thinking for practical living across all areas of life.
Unfashionable: Making a Difference in the World by Being Different Tullian Tchividjian (Multnomah) $18.99 A young, fresh, and honest voice helping us learn what it means to be “in the world but not of it.” Powerful, important, and very interesting.
Worldview The True Story of the Whole World: Finding Your Place in the Story of God Michael Goheen & Craig Bartholomew (Faith Alive) $12.99 One of our favorite biblically-oriented books, a splendid and easy-to-read overview of the Bible, a thoughtful and insightful approach that helps us see the unfolding drama of redemption, and how the Bible shapes our worldview.
Heaven is a Place on Earth: Why Everything You Do Matters to God Michael Witmer (Zondervan) $16.99 This is one of the most enjoyable and informative books on what we mean by a “Christian worldview.” A great introduction to the “Jubilee vision.” (Re)Thinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live and Speak in This World J. Mark Bertrand (Crossway) $16.99 Just when you thought you understood the ideas of a Christian worldview, this creative book pushes us into new arenas, helps us re-think our lives and attitudes, and invites us to move beyond just “thinking” or “seeing” differently, but becoming faithful disciples who creatively contribute to the renewal of culture. Fresh and interesting, written by a very smart young professor and novelist. 33
Vocation Journey Worth Taking: Finding Your Purpose in This World Charles Drew (P&R) $12.99 Explores the ideas of calling and vocation by explaining them framed by the over-all Biblical drama. Very well done, full of life-transforming insight.
quite clear.
What Is Vocation? Stephen Nichols (P&R) $3.99 A very brief guide to this key “Jubilee” concept—that God calls you to serve Him in your particular tasks. Very basic and
University Outrageous Idea of Academic Faithfulness: A Guide for Students Donald Optiz & Derek Melleby (Brazos) $13.99 In many ways, this book developed alongside the Jubilee conference, the invitation to allow Christian faith to shape our calling as students, and to relate faith and learning in fun and important ways. Every follower of Jesus who is a student should have this on hand! Highly recommended. Engaging God’s World: A Christian Vision of Faith, Learning, and Living Cornelius Plantinga, Jr. (Eerdmans) $16.00 Elegant writing by a brilliant thinker, helping college students take up their vocations in the Kingdom, especially as students who love to learn, for God’s sake!
Cultural Engagement Culture-Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling Andy Crouch (IVP) $22.00 Andy was a previous Jubilee main-stage speaker and performer, and he reminds us here that God desires for us to be involved in making the world a better place, that social initiatives can be meaningful and honorable to God, and that the joy of living includes being engaged in the world around us. A masterpiece! 34
Serious Times: Making Your Life Matter in an Urgent Day James Emery White (IVP) $15.00 What an encouragement, and what a challenge, to learn how other faithful followers of Christ made a difference in their own time and places. Not dry history, but insightful and practical, learning lessons from the likes of William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or Mother Teresa. Very nicely done.
In Service to the World Generous Justice: How God’s Grace Makes Us Just Timothy Keller (Dutton) $19.95 One of the clearest theologians and church leaders today offers a solid, short study of how the Bible points us to God’s grace, which motivates us to work for justice. Zealous Love: A Practical Guide to Social Justice Mark & Danae Yankoski (Zondervan) $16.99 A very nicely done, creatively presented with up-to-date information on various social concerns, contemporary issues, global problems, and how Christians can stand for God’s justice in some of the most burning causes of the day. Various chapters are by well-known experts, and lively authors including Jubilee keynoter Bob Goff !
Advanced Studies Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation James K.A. Smith (BakerAcademic) $21.95 A deep and fabulous study, exploring everything from pop culture consumerism to postmodern scholarship, to how our deepest desires and ways of being are shaped by either the “liturgies” of secular culture or the liturgies of God’s Kingdom expressed in radical worship. The first of what will be a three-part magnum opus written by a philosopher from Calvin College in Michigan.
Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief & Behavior Steven Garber (IVP) $16.00 Few authors have meant as much to the CCO and the Jubilee conference as Steve, whose popular book is an engaging study of what enables young adults to sustain a robust and public faith over the long haul of their lives (and why it is hard to do so in our contemporary culture). You’ll be moved by the stories and learn how to think about the deepest things that matter most. Beyond Homelessness: Christian Faith in a Culture of Displacement Brian Walsh & Steve BoumaPrediger (Eerdmans) $24.00 A magisterial study of how failing to believe that God is redeeming all things (using images of home-making and home-coming) leads to a postmodern dislocation from place, which helps create harsh economics that hurt the poor. What are the relationships between our Up in the Air emptiness and the injustices of disregard for the Earth and the oppressed? One of the most provocative, important, and serious examples of radical Christian scholarship in years! To Change the World: The Irony,Tragedy & Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World John Davison Hunter (Oxford) $27.95 This prestigious text is perhaps the most talked about book of its kind this year! Deep, rich, wise (and a bit controversial), by a renowned sociologist.
