The central theme of 'Student Sunday' focused on the reassurance that despite the societal portrayal of youth as a lost generation, there is substantial evidence of their deep faith and commitment to God. Pastors Ryan and Katie used the story of David and Goliath to symbolize the youth's battles today, suggesting that like David, young individuals are capable of defeating giants through faith and reliance on God's strength, rather than worldly means.
