Get Ready, A 3-Day Devotional by Elevation YTHSample

We’re going to make a bold statement: The greatest parts of YTHX have never been the games and battles, although those are some of our all-time favorite memories. And you better believe our 72-hour livestream is going to be packed with things that you’ll be talking about for the rest of the year — maybe the rest of your life! You’re in for some crazy surprises and we’re stoked for the fun we’re about to have together!

However, those things aren’t how we measure the success of YTHX. They are great, but they aren’t the goal. 

The main goal of YTHX isn’t that you walk away with memories of a once in a lifetime experience, even though we definitely hope you do! 

The main goal of YTHX is that you walk away marked by an encounter with God. 

Our world was robbed of rituals this year. Rituals like graduations, proms, and birthday parties were stripped away from us, almost overnight. But what was left was an opportunity — a holy invitation to lean in and look deeper at the things we couldn’t see before. 

Sometimes when the lights fade, what matters is actually illuminated. 

Sometimes when we’re forced into a new normal, old habits can get left behind. 

Sometimes when we find ourselves in a place that feels unnatural, we finally look to God to do the supernatural. 

Perhaps God is forcing us into something new because He wants us to experience something new — both individually and collectively. 

The best parts of YTHX can’t be seen because they don’t happen on a stage — they happen in your spirit. 

And YTHX2020 isn’t confined to a livestream. It isn’t even confined to the year 2020. The greatest sermon preached during our summer event will be the life you live when it’s over. 

So lean in, get ready, and invite a friend because God’s about to do wonders through Elevation YTH! 

Let’s GO! 

Think It Through: 

1. Who do you need to invite to YTHX2020?
2. Read 2 Corinthians 4:18. What temporary thing have you been clinging to and what eternal thing can you begin focusing on?
