What I got out of this weekend was how important prayer is. Prayer isn’t new to me. It’s something I’ve done my whole life, but sometimes it feels more like a routine you’re following. But prayer is really a way of talking to God to grow closer to him and to grow deeper in your faith. It’s a way to become a follower by talking to God, one on one instead of just being a fan and watching what God does around you. - written by a student that attended D-Now Weekend 2025
