Why did God bring me here (Bigstuf 2025)? I truly believe God brought me on this trip to show me that I am not alone when I have doubts and fears. I used to feel guilty and lonely, but these speakers made me realize other people feel this way too — and that God is not mad at me; He still cares, hopes, and loves me. Darkness does not have to rule my life, and there should be no fear of the future because I put my trust in God. I now know that my purpose and identity should be found in Christ instead of in other passions. The role [or “pressure”] made me feel like life was not worth it, but God has shown me that that’s not true. He has incredible plans for my life. Jesus will help me not by making things easier, but by making them better. With all of my questions and worries, I will always keep showing up. Most importantly, I have felt attacked and burdened, but I was relieved to know that even if it feels like the world is attacking me, God still has great plans for me — He’s not done with me, and the devil is afraid. - this note is from a students journal entry who attended Bigstuf this summer
