So much is written about spiritual growth, and anyone in a relationship with God wants to grow spiritually. Yet often it can seem so complicated! We can feel pulled between intellectual approaches on the one hand and the pursuit of mystical experiences on the other. One expert tells us to look back into the mists of time, while another tells us to look within or to look at their list of how-to steps. In the midst of all the noise, somehow Jesus often gets lost.

The health of a ministry’s board is one of the most important parts of Christian ministry yet it is the aspect of leadership that is rarely discussed. A healthy board can help ensure a ministry flourishes and is sustained and can protect the leadership in a time of crisis. The workshop will identify the key principles of a healthy trustee board and the parts played by the chair, trustees, and ministry leaders as well as identify the underlying biblical principles.

This talk presents findings from a research study examining 80 failed or struggling church plants across 27 countries. We explore key lessons for planting healthier churches—and equipping healthier planters—that are more likely to thrive long-term. The discussion addresses 7 common challenges both within and outside church plants, including the critical role of character and godliness, the reality of opposition, the personal cost to families, and the pressure of a success-driven culture that often leaves planters unprepared for the challenges ahead.

Creatives are particular and often peculiar. In this talk, we learn about a Christian philosophy of the soul, examine where you are at, and discover important ways of caring for your soul for the journey ahead.

In this talk, we teach principles and models for relevantly sharing Jesus and making disciples among young people who would not usually walk into your church. How can we communicate the Gospel to them when they have such a negative view of God? When you have the boldness to step outside the Church and share your faith, people are open and ready to hear the Gospel. This talk equips, inspires, and challenges you to reach a lost generation.
