Impact 2010: THE COME BACK – A Recap of My (Online) Experience Part 1
The room was dim and abuzz with excited energy and all around hearts were open to hear the word of God, to grow in His truth and experience Him in a new way. The speakers, music artists and others who took the stage imparted spiritual teachings and words of wisdom blended with humor and personable honesty to those in the audience. Even from my seat before my laptop at home I feel like I was there (or at least really wanted to be there) and could tell that Impact 2010: THE COME BACK was a conference not to miss…
I first heard about the Impact Movement, (a ministry that brings the truth of the Gospel to college campuses across the country), and its conferences from friends at my college and church that attended previous conferences. I’d listen to their stories and look longingly at their Facebook pictures with them laughing and fellowshipping with other college students and young adults and think to myself – ‘man, I wanna go too!’

Video Pick: Background – Lecrae feat. C-Lite
Reach Records recently released the video for Background, featuring C-Lite, from Lecrae’s latest album Rehab. Be sure to get the album on iTunes, Amazon, or on the Reach Records storefront and check into the “The Rehab Center” at http://therehabsquad.ning.com.
The video is impromptu, laid-back but especially gives a reminder of Who should play the leading role in our lives as we humbly play the background…
“I know I’m safest when I’m in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I’m dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain’t got no time to play life’s foolish games
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name?
And it’s a shame the way I want to do these things for You
Don’t even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You
Seems You are patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss, it’s ’cause she never heard of this…”– From the song “Background”

About the Impact Movement
While we’re known primarily for the national Impact conference that we host every two years, The Impact Movement is much more than a conference. We are a movement of evangelism and discipleship with influence nationally and internationally. We exist to mobilize leaders of African descent who are spiritually focused, financially responsible and morally fit and will take the truth of Jesus Christ to the campus, community and the world.

Message Pick: Nick Vujicic – “God Will Pull You Through”
“If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!” – Nick Vujicic
Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic faced an overwhelming battle as a youth to come to terms with the way he was made and to realize that God had a purpose for him. Through his ministry Life Without Limbs Nick has become a worldwide speaker, author and preacher of the Gospel. Now in his late twenties, Nick continues to reach out to people of all ages and backgrounds to let them know that they too can overcome the barriers and hardships in life through the grace of God. Nick is truly an amazing man of faith and a reflection of a life of victory, even without limbs.
In the message below Nick talks to a group of youth about the power of Christ that transformed his life:

Start Here: Doing Hard Things Right Where You Are
Alex and Brett Harris, founders of The Rebelution, and authors of “Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations” (which we wrote about in a previous post) have recently launched a follow-up book “Start Here: Doing Hard Things Right Where You Are.” “Start Here” was created to layout ways young people can start now living extraordinarily for God and challenges them to overcome the stereotypes society has of teens by living in a way that rebels against the standard. Their anthem “Do Hard Things” dares teens not to waste their teen years doing things that won’t matter in the long run, but to glorify God in hard things, big and small.
Check out the video and description below. You can support the launch of the book by pre-ordering on Amazon. Visit TheRebelution.com for more info and great content to inspire you to grow in Christ.
You want to do hard things.
But you don’t know where to start.
You are changing the world around you.
But you are tired and burned out.
You feel called to do the extraordinary for God.
But you feel stuck in the ordinary.
Do Hard Things inspired thousands of young people to make the most of the teen years. Now Alex and Brett Harris are back and ready to tackle the questions that Do Hard Things inspired: How do I get started? What do I do when I get discouraged? What’s the best way to inspire others?
Filled with stories and insights from Alex, Brett, and other real-life rebelutionaries, Start Here is a powerful and practical guide to doing hard things, right where you are.
Are you ready to take the next step and blast past mediocrity for the glory of God?
Start here.

21:03 in the Studio
Word is that Gospel trio 21:03, (consisting of members Jor’el Quinn, Torrence Green, and Evin Martin), is in the studio working on their next album. In a recent UStream broadcast they predicted the album would drop in late Spring, so look out for it. Check out a sneak peek of one of their songs “Favor” below, and some clips of them in the studio with PAJAM making the song “I Wanna Hear Your Voice.” Both of the songs are catchy with 21:03’s signature urban flair. The messages are also really relevant to today: “I lost my focus… Maybe it’s Facebook? Maybe it’s Twitter?” (Who can’t relate to that?).
The guys also shared an exclusive video of them in the studio recording “Favor” on the music blog Gospel Pundit, which you can view here.
Update: Click here to listen to an exclusive full version leak of “FAVOR” on Gospel Pundit.
Gospel Flava interviewed 21:03 asking how they’ve grown since their last album and about what inspires them in creating this next one:
Evin: Many of the songs on this new record are being birthed from our life experiences and conversations we kicked around with PAJAM. Many times, we heard a track and then the melodies and words would follow. At other times, concepts came in the shower, while we were asleep, or we were inspired while we were listening to the Word at church. It’s been really fun creating and developing the ideas into full-fledged songs. Click here to read the full interview.
Visit 21:03’s Facebook fanpage to share what you think about the songs. Be sure to follow them on Twitter and Youtube too.
If you’re new to 21:03 check out our Spotlight of the group: “21 Reasons to Love 21:03″.
Stay tuned for more updates on them and other young music artists in our SOAR Youth-Full Artists series.
