Beyond the Event is back! On this episode, we catch up on a whirlwind season of Engage and the surprising ways global stories at MOVE and MIX can open students’ eyes to how big God’s church really is. Then Noah Brooke joins us to share a sermon-planning approach that blends book-by-book teaching with clear topics, plus a small-group model that drives deeper discipleship. 

• Engage growth and the behind-the-scenes reality of year-round trip registration 
• Turning global church wonder into next steps for students 
• Why the creative choices in the Con Mis Manos film land so deeply 
• A Spain Engage trip recap through English camp and peer-to-peer gospel conversations 
• Expository and topical preaching as complementary tools, not opposing teams 
• Building mini-series inside 1 Corinthians to meet real student needs 
• Planning teaching calendars far ahead while staying flexible to culture 
• T Groups as 3 to 5-person discipleship spaces that increase ownership and honesty 
• Leader multiplication and student invitation as a paired strategy 
• Required topics we make sure students hear regularly, like purpose and service
