Live Up. Speak Life.
AUDIENCE: Middle School, High School, or College Students.
Young people are often told what not to do and what to avoid. "Don't do drugs. Don't be a bully. Don't text and drive." Those are all good things to teach young people, but sometimes they need to hear a message of what TO DO. They need to hear a message of what to pursue, not just what to avoid.
In this message Cesar presents two things to pursue. He encourages us to Live Up to our full potential and challenges us to Speak Life to those around us. When do those things, we will experience a sense of purpose and freedom that will inspire those around us to do the same. Be part of a movement that our culture needs. Live up and speak life today!
Masterpiece in the Making.
AUDIENCE: Middle School, High School, or College Students.
Many young people buy into the lie that their life is a mistake. Some begin to believe that they are a mistake. When we are able shift our perception and find our identity in what makes us unique, we will discover that we are not a mistake, but a masterpiece in the making. We may make mistakes, but if we learn and grow through our failures, we can create something beautiful from our brokenness.
In this message Cesar talks about his experience growing up and doing his best to fit in. He walks through his journey of self-discovery and provides a framework for discovering your unique talents and abilities. This a great message for artists and creatives.
Running in the Right Lane
AUDIENCE: High School, College, and Young Adults.
Life is too short to be chasing the dreams of someone else. We each have our unique pathway. Our life experiences lead us to a unique purpose. When we run the race marked out for us, we will live with joy and passion, while inspiring others along the way.
In this message Cesar encourages us to discover our lane and lean in. He explores the difference between self-confidence and arrogance to help us see others through a lens of celebration, not a lens of competition. Cesar also helps us identify the hurdles that may be hindering us from focusing on the path ahead of us. This is a great message for athletes and coaches.
The Next Step
AUDIENCE: High School Seniors, College Freshmen, and College Seniors.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but peace in the midst of it. When we are courageous and have the right posture, transitions can be exciting. When you understand your purpose and calling, you can trust that your next step is in the right direction.
In this message Cesar helps us reflect on our life journey to guide us down the right path. He walks us through his major life transitions, to help ease the tension many people feel in seasons of change. He talks about his transition from high school to college, transferring colleges, changing majors, dating to marriage, and the small life shifts along the journey. This is a great messages for all who are on the brink of a big decision.
Build a Bridge and Get Into It
AUDIENCE: Parents, Teachers, and Youth Workers.
Middle School and High School students find themselves in a unique season of life. With child-like wonder and a growing list of responsibilities, the students of today are navigating a culture that is over-connected and over-informed. Many have high hopes and big dreams but walk through this season with a low self-esteem and a lack of guidance.
In this message Cesar walks through the culture of young people today and explains how adults can support students in this season of life. He encourages parents, teachers, and youth workers to build a bridge into the lives of students and be the support and guidance that many of them need.
