Introducing the 2025鈥�2026 theme: Fearless (Joshua 1:9)
Every year, 成人头条 embraces a spiritual theme that challenges and inspires our campus community to grow in our core values.
This year's theme is Fearless, based on Joshua 1:9
鈥淗ave I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.鈥�
In a world full of uncertainty, transitions, and noise, Concordia Texas鈥檚 鈥淔earless鈥� theme calls students to stand firm in faith, trusting in God鈥檚 presence wherever life leads. More than a slogan, it鈥檚 an invitation to live boldly in Christ.
Chapel Series: A Journey Through Fearless Faith
Our Fall 2025 chapel experiences will bring the Fearless theme to life through an immersive and powerful series. Each week will highlight an Old Testament figure, exploring two expressions of their fearless faith: one on Monday, and one on Wednesday.
From Joshua鈥檚 fearless obedience to Ruth鈥檚 fearless vulnerability, each story reveals a different aspect of courage rooted in God's promises. In the Spring we will transition to New Testament stories of people who lived fearlessly in the face of persecution.
The rhythm of campus worship
Each chapel gathering will feature:
- Old Testament and Gospel Readings that connect ancient courage with the teachings of Jesus
- A Weekly Theme Verse to unite our hearts in Scripture
- A Reflection Question to consider how God is working in our lives
- A Weekly Challenge to turn inspiration into action鈥攅ncouraging our community to live out their faith in everyday life
Special Focus Weeks
- September 15鈥�19 coincides with the Counseling Department鈥檚 Week of Wellness. That week鈥檚 featured character is Ruth, whose fearless loyalty and vulnerability speak powerfully into conversations around mental health, belonging, and faithful presence. Our prayer is that students will find courage, comfort, and community.
- The week before Thanksgiving will center on Nehemiah鈥攁 leader of fearless vision and perseverance. His story offers a timely reminder to look back with gratitude and ahead with hope.
- As Advent begins (Week 14), we鈥檒l close the semester with the prophet Malachi. His message of returning to God and preparing for the coming Messiah invites us to rest in the hope that God is always with us.
At Concordia, the Christian life is the heartbeat of our community. Through the Fearless theme, we invite every student, staff member, faculty, and alum to encounter God in the Word, worship together, and be equipped to live a bold and compassionate faith.
Whether you鈥檙e facing transitions, doubts, or dreams鈥攚hether it鈥檚 your first semester or your last鈥攚e want every Tornado to hear these words clearly: 鈥淒o not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you.鈥�
