DNOW
DNOW (Disciple Now) is a weekend-long retreat for middle-school and high-school students. It is designed to provide students with an immersive, focused experience in their faith through Bible study, worship and small group interaction. The goal is to help students grow in their faith and strengthen their relationship with God.
The theme for this year's DNOW is EXCHANGE - GAINING THROUGH GIVING UP.
What does it mean to exchange?
To make an exchange is to swap “this” for “that.” Exchanging is about trading up. It’s giving up something
you have for what you want—something better. A better fit. A better option. A better experience. A better
deal. A better life.
In every exchange, something must be given up in order for something to be gained. It probably isn’t
shocking to learn that when most people make an exchange, very rarely do they give away something
they desire for something they don’t. It just doesn’t work that way, does it? But thankfully, Jesus isn’t most
people.
At the heart of the Gospel, there is a single, powerful exchange that occurred when a sinless Savior
carried the sin of humanity to the Cross and willingly made the exchange of His life for ours. His innocence
for our guilt and shame. He traded down so we could trade up. In doing so, Jesus made possible the
ultimate exchange that, once embraced, leads to countless other exchanges in the lives of those who will
believe and follow Him.
Through Exchange, your student will discover how much they stand to gain through giving up, following Jesus, and
radically embracing the power of the exchanged life today.
