Looking for meaningful, important conversation? Lead or join a Cadre! Beginning this semester, students can propose and lead a Cadre. Cadres are convocation credit small groups that explore the intersection of the Christian faith and our world.

We're back on Samford's campus here at the Offices of Spiritual Life! Lots of prayer, hard work, and brainstorming are going on to get ready for the fall semester! We're gearing up for Connections, Freshmen Retreat (be sure to sign up on banner), and all of the awesome changes that will be taking place. We can't wait, and we hope you're excited as well!

Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.

As a believer in Jesus Christ, you are called to live a bold, confident and overcoming life. You don’t have to live under the weight and pressure of fear. You don’t have to live with daily anxiety. Because of Jesus, fear, worry and uncertainty are beneath you. When you rise up in faith, knowing that God is with you and for you, all doubt and fear has to leave your life.

Each one of our lives is shot through, threaded in and out with God’s provision, His grace, His protection, but on the average day, we notice it about as much as we really notice gravity or the hole in the ozone.
