Conference Theme

In a world where we are constantly connected through technology, we find ourselves more isolated than ever. Our screens often keep us at a distance, offering a surface-level connection that leaves us craving deeper relationships. But Scripture reveals something radically different—a God who chose to come near. He didn’t remain far off but became flesh and dwelt among us. This summer at RYM, join us as we dive into the profound reality of a God who draws close, inviting us to know Him as Emmanuel, “God with Us.” Experience a week of faith, fellowship, and fun as we discover what it means to live fully in His presence.

Rev. Austin Braasch

Austin met his beautiful wife of over 9 years, Kristen, at Alabama where they were deeply involved in campus ministry. After graduating, Austin started working with the youth ministry at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Birmingham and earned his Master of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School. Austin planted RUF Arkansas State in 2019 and was there for three years before taking the Campus Minster role at Ole Miss. Kristen is from Jackson, MS, and she works part-time as a Physical Therapist. They have a 4-year-old son (John) and a 1-year-old girl (Blair).
