Living and Discipling in our Sexual Brokenness
Panel Discussion (Kyle Bowman, Nathaniel and Jalyssa Richardson, Jason Robinson and Janeen Davis)

Room: Covington 2/3
Do you not know? A Wholistic View of the Body as Temple
Dr. Edje
What does the Bible have to say about our physical, mental and emotional health? Sadly, today many Christians are not able to answer this question. But the God we serve cares about our entire selves (mind, body, soul and spirit). Using a biblical lens, in this workshop we will explore the intersection of wholistic health and discipleship.
Offered: Saturday
Room: Covington 1
Decolonizing Our Christian Faith
Rasool Berry
The gospel sets us free from the oppression of sin, Satan, and fallen society. But aspects of the Christian message have been taken captive by the mentality of “empire” instead of “kingdom of God.” How do we reclaim the gospel that liberates, and preach that message in a time when many are deconstructing their education, their cultural perspectives, and even their faith? How do we respond to the claim that Christianity is the “white man’s religion?” You will leave this workshop equipped to decolonize your faith.
Offered: Saturday
Room: Ballroom CDE

Whether you are married, single, or engaged, this workshop will help you establish a Kingdom vision for a fruitful and fulfilling marriage!Dex and Patriece Johnson

Loving My Neighbor: Living & Working Among the Lost
Lloyd Lassiter
You are the only living letter of the gospel that many of your non-believing friends and co-workers will ever see. Covid has reset our current methods of relationship building.

Living Color, Shared Mission-A Panel Discussion
Patriece Johnson, Connally Gilliam, more will be announced
Our ethnicities vary, and we share a calling. How do we move from simply sharing organizational words and space to actually living out meaningful, trust-saturated, interdependent mission? What are the obstacles to being in this calling together? What does it take to move through these blocks? What new work might God be doing among us—and through us—in this cultural moment? Join our honest and hopeful conversation on the gritty work and prophetic possibilities into which God is inviting each of us, right now.
