As a additional message to Ron DeGarde’s Building a Faith That Sticks in 2026 series, Malachi Herbster’s message, “Called to Lead By Example,” challenged students to recognize that biblical leadership begins with personal faithfulness. Drawing attention to the daily witness of obedience, humility, and integrity, the message called teens to live out their faith visibly among peers, families, and churches. Students were reminded that a faith that truly sticks is one that influences others—not through words alone, but through a life that consistently reflects Christ.
