It’s easy to be disappointed or discouraged when you fail. But remember, failure doesn’t define your future.

When you stumble, God will always be there to pick you up again. The same way Jesus forgave Peter, he will forgive you.

“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” Psalm 37:23-24

Failure doesn’t make you a failure.

The concerts are only part of the story.

Some of the best memories are made standing in line for food, laughing over a game of bags, finding your new favorite t-shirt, or meeting someone who quickly feels like family.

That's RiseFest.

As we celebrate 20 years, you can help make more moments like these possible through $20 for 20. Give $20 and help RISE Ministries continue sharing the hope of Jesus long after the festival ends.

Sometimes it’s easier to believe that God loves you than to believe He actually likes you.

But He sees you. He knows you. He delights in you.

When God thinks of you, He isn’t disappointed or distant. He looks at you with love and joy. You are fully known and deeply loved by Him.

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you.” Zephaniah 3:17

For a moment, everything else faded away.

Just thousands of people lifting high the name of Jesus.

This is what we'll remember about RiseFest. Not just the songs or the stages, but the moments when hearts turned toward Christ.

And we believe there are so many more stories still to come.

As we celebrate 20 years of RiseFest, we're inviting you to give $20 to help RISE Ministries continue sharing the hope of Jesus long after the festival ends.

Give $20.

Heading off to college can bring a lot of firsts: a new place, new people and, for some, the first time really being away from home.

In the excitement and uncertainty, remember this: God goes with you. When you feel lonely, overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next, you are never walking through it alone.

And for the moms and dads learning to let go, trust God with them as they step into this next chapter.

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” Isaiah 41:10

Whatever storm you are facing, you are not walking through it alone.

Jesus is with you. He is steady when life feels uncertain, faithful when you feel afraid, and near when you are weary.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord.” Psalm 121:1–2

Keep going! Don’t ever give up!

Who does the world say you are?

Your job. Your mistakes. Your appearance. Your achievements. Your diagnosis.

So often, we let labels define us, but they were never meant to become our identity.

In this week's Thursday Thought, Rob shares a simple but powerful reminder: your true identity isn't found in what you do or what others call you. It's found in Christ.

If you've ever struggled with feeling like you're "that person" or carrying a label that seems impossible to shake, this message is for you.

You are a child of God. That's who you are.

Watch the full video, and if this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder today.

Two kids stepped off the same bus.

One walked into a beautiful home with green grass and manicured landscaping. The other walked toward a run-down apartment with weeds in the yard and a door hanging open.

It was a powerful reminder: God is with both of them.

Some have a lot. Others have very little. But God's love isn't determined by our circumstances. His presence isn't reserved for those who seem to have it all.

And for those who have been blessed with much, God invites us to share generously and care for others.

No matter what season you're in or what your situation looks like today, this is true: God loves you and is with you right where you are. ❤️
