IBC Chapel: When Losers Win Rev. Justin Reinking

In the final chapel of the 2025–2026 academic year, Rev. Justin Reinking delivers a transparent and challenging message titled “When Losers Win.” Speaking to a room of students at the close of the school year, he calls listeners to embrace the paradox at the center of the Gospel—true life is found in surrender. As Executive Vice President of Indiana Bible College, Rev. Reinking brings both pastoral care and direct conviction to this moment. Drawing from passages such as Mark 8:35, Matthew 10:39, Matthew 16:23, and Luke 9:24, he emphasizes that following Christ requires laying down personal ambition, pride, and self-will in order to gain what truly matters. This vulnerable message reminds listeners that what the world defines as loss is often the very path to spiritual victory. Surrender is not defeat—it is the doorway to purpose, identity, and eternal life in Christ. At the center of the message is this defining statement: “We win when we lose our life for His sake. That’s when losers win—when we do it for His sake.” Key Themes: The paradox of losing to gain Surrender and discipleship Letting go of self to follow Christ Eternal perspective at life transitions We pray this message both challenges and encourages you to surrender fully to God, trusting that in Him, what feels like loss becomes lasting victory.
