No one church, ministry or mission agency is able to carry single-handedly the work of God’s kingdom. Nor should Christian leadership ever be a solo task. This talk offers helpful principles and practices in the area of church partnership and gospel collaboration. We explore practical aspects of collaborative leadership such as building strong relationships, developing healthy partnerships and being clear on our missional distinctives.

What does it take to be a faithful Christian in the public square? In the first half of the 19th century, God used William Wilberforce and the Clapham Sect, along with other Evangelicals, to help bring about profound cultural and social change in Britain—including the abolition of slavery. What lessons can we learn from these leaders about how we engage in public life? This talk suggests six key characteristics from the examples of these 19th-century Evangelicals and explore what we can learn from them as we seek to be salt and light in the world around us today.

Passages in the Law which point to Christ, especially sacrifices, are often treated as mere illustrations of what we already know from the NT. Conversely, some authors attack an evangelical view of the cross as being unjust and unscriptural. In this talk, we let the Law teach us about the cross: shining greater light on NT passages by showing us what the NT authors assumed but we often miss.

How does knowing ourselves impact our ministry, our faith, and our community? Our own identity cannot be rightly understood apart from a deeper relationship with God. The more we know Him, the more we come to know ourselves, for we are created in His image. This session puts into practice some of the tools we can use to help us discover ourselves and be shaped in His likeness.

We all have priorities. We know what are our most important tasks and projects. But still, how can we actually spend our time in the best way possible, with all the distractions, requests, and unexpected things we face daily? In this talk, you see that time management is not “only” about time. We explore the key factors that influence your productivity and see how better practices and more effective tools can help you invest your limited time in what really matters.

How are things with your soul? In this interview, we’ll look at why this is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves as Christian leaders. We’ll also discuss some of the rhythms and spiritual practices that keep us soul-healthy and connected to Jesus in the midst of ministry.
