Nate on The Clash:

I would just like to thank Jeff Purswell and Nathan Sasser for The Clash. God has already begun to use it to strengthen my faith and has helped me begin to learn how God is at work in all aspects of my life.

In my college experience, I have had several classes that have in many ways made me doubt my faith and its truthfulness. Since then, there has been much doubt and skepticism in my heart, in which it seemed a daily task to have to convince myself of my faith's validity whenever I went to church, or sat down to read my Bible. As a result, I've been very fearful of speaking up in classes, or of sharing the gospel with unbelieving classmates.

But my prayer in coming to The Clash was that through learning how to engage culture, instead of running from it, I would be equipped to return to my campus next week confident that God would glorify Himself through me.

This prayer has been answered. Through every teaching here, I have been deeply strengthened in my faith, and have seen the supremacy of Christ portrayed in all aspects of culture.

Jeff and Nathan, thank you for the numerous hours you have invested into planning this conference. Thank you both for your humility, and deep convictions with which you have spoken to us. I can already see the effects of your labors working in my life, and my soul is strengthened, knowing that the gospel of Christ is at work in every area of the world and culture.
