The Spiritual Power of Habit

by Dr. James K.A. Smith

Dr. James K.A. Smith, Professor of Philosophy at Calvin College, was a plenary speaker at Nexus 2016, the Christian Union Conference on Faith and Action, in New Haven, Connecticut. He addressed the human tendency to be shaped by what we love and long for even more than just what we believe or think.



Learn more about Nexus 2016, the Christian Union Conference on Faith and Action, the conference that brought students together from Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale for a life-changing weekend of dynamic worship and world-class speakers.

The conference hallenges students to think deeply about their faith, to consider how they might put that faith into action right now on their campuses, to recognize how God can use them in the vocation they pursue to impact culture for Christ, and to grow closer in faith and devotion to Jesus Christ in fellowship with like-minded peers.

Christian Union created the Nexus Conference as a way to help facilitate sweeping spiritual transformation at some of the most influential universities in the world and raise up generations of godly leaders for all sectors of society.
