FIRST (required for first time 7th graders) First time @ J-Gen? Welcome!!! We love you and are so excited to have you with us. This seminar will not only welcome you to J-Gen, but we will explore God's Living Word together to discover what it means to be the sweet aroma of Jesus Christ to a watching world. Our speech, attitudes, values and character all contribute to leaving a "spiritual taste" in people's mouths. Let's learn to leave residues of God's love everywhere we go!
	FILTER Turn on the TV. Listen to music. Surf the web. Sexual messages are everywhere. But what does the Bible teach about sex and intimacy? This seminar will explore this question. We will learn that though our sexuality has been affected by sin, through Christ we have the opportunity to redeem it – and when intimacy is experienced as God intended, it can be one of life’s greatest joys.
	FOCUS A = Average. That is how many students and parents view their academic life. But is this how God views academic faithfulness? Why do academics matter? What difference does being a Christian student make? What does faithfulness look like in the classroom? This seminar will seek to answer these questions and explore the grace-based motivations for academic faithfulness in the light of God's Word.
	FEARLESS “I love Jesus until I have to tell others about Him.” If we are honest with ourselves, this is often our attitude towards reaching out to others. Why should we focus our efforts on reaching out to non-Christians around us? How can we do this? This seminar will seek to answer these questions and provide practical methods for reaching out to those to whom God has called us.
	FAIL “Help! I've fallen and I can't get back up!” was a popular line from a commercial way back in the 90's. Yet, many Christians find themselves in a similar situation in their walk with Christ. It's great to experience the mountaintops at J-Gen but everyone knows that many valleys await them in a matter of few hours. How do we deal with our failures? This seminar will address this question and point us to where we can go when we've fallen and can't get back up.
	FAMILY “Honor your father and your mother.” We’ve all heard this, but sometimes it feels impossible to live it out. What do you do when you feel like your parents are dishonorable? In this seminar, Dr. Henry Kim will share his testimony of how Christ redeemed his relationship with his parents. If you need help in understanding, living with, or loving your family, then this seminar is for you.
	FEW (9th and up) Our world is in crisis – and now more than we need real leaders to stand up. But leadership faces a crisis as well, stemming from a lack of character, deficient worldviews and incomplete understandings of leadership. This seminar will attempt to help navigate the crisis, and explore what Scripture has to say about being a person who leads with integrity and skill, regardless of insecurity, personality or vocation.
	FUTURE “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Ever heard that question, but had no idea how to begin thinking about it? Ever wanted to serve God through your vocation, but you don’t know what that looks like? This seminar will bring together professionals from various occupations for a panel discussion of what faithfulness looks like in their jobs. If you are thinking about your future vocation, then this seminar will help.
	FICTION Why does the human heart long for stories? And not just any stories, but stories about other worlds – stories filled with magic and wonder? Is it just a desire to escape from reality, or is there something more? This seminar will deal with creativity, the imagination, and storytelling, and how these gifts from God enable us to see God's world more clearly and to live out better stories ourselves.
	FULFILL (girls only) In our culture, we all struggle to make sense of many mixed messages. As girls, we are evaluated on the basis of appearance: be beautiful, sexy, honest, polite, popular, smart (but not too smart), etc. How do we respect ourselves and be all of who the Lord made us to be while loving and edifying the opposite sex? In this seminar, together we will share honestly about the struggles women face and search Scripture to help us resolve some of these tensions.
	FIGHTERS (boys only) As boys, society evaluates us on how manly we are, our athletic abilities, achievement, dominance, etc. How do we make sense of the complexities of this world and continue to strive to be Christian in a culture obsessed with appearances? What does it meant to be a “man of God”? In this seminar, together we will share honestly about the struggles men face and search Scripture to help us resolve some of these tensions.
	FIND We all know we ought to pray and many of us even want to pray…but why is it so hard to actually do it? What would happen if we started to view prayer no longer as duty or chore, but as high privilege? Bring your frustrations, but also bring your deepest longings for increased intimacy with God through a growing prayer life.
	FRONT PEW (PKs and MKs only) If you are one, you know exactly what it means to be a PK or an MK. Sometimes you see the ugliness and hypocrisy behind the scenes of the church services. Sometimes it feels like everyone expects you to be perfect – the model Christian. Sometimes it feels like you didn’t have a choice whether or not to believe. This seminar will focus on the issues and struggles that PKs and MKs encounter, helping you to carve out a faith that is resilient and authentic.
