This session first looks at the sort of arguments for the reliability of the Old Testament which tend to be ineffective because they are not adequately supported or appeal to evidence which is debatable and urges Christians to use arguments which are based on the broadest possible patterns of evidence. These arguments include arguments for the uniqueness of the Old Testament theologically and for its unusually critical view of the human protagonists.

Every worship leader and team encounters struggles unique to the ministry of music. From navigating critical feedback to equipping undertrained or inconsistent volunteers, and from balancing creative demands to communicating with other leaders who may not fully understand the nuances of music ministry, the challenges are real and often complex. This session provides perspective, encouragement, and practical wisdom for handling these tensions with grace and clarity.

This workshop teaches you principles and models for relevantly sharing Jesus and making disciples among young people who would not usually walk into the 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 workshop equips, inspires, and challenges you to reach a lost generation.

The news cycle moves quickly, often marked by troubling events and shaped by bias intended to influence readers and viewers. This session explores how Christians can respond with wisdom and faithfulness. Drawing on the experience of two Christian journalists, it introduces biblical principles for discerning the news, engaging in thoughtful conversation, and living faithfully in response.

As members of Christ’s body, Christians are called to collaborate, yet working in partnership with other churches or ministries can be difficult and painful. This practical workshop takes you through a simple framework for thinking through some of the most important questions when setting up a partnership between two or more ministries. It will also help you figure out how to move things forward when a partnership arrangement is struggling.

Is it possible to question faith without losing it? How can we faithfully disciple and love young people who wrestle with hard questions about God, the Church, and their faith? Deconstruction of faith and addressing doubts one has, especially in the church, can feel like walking through a desert alone. Yet doubt is not the enemy of faith. In this session, we explore what deconstruction of faith is and is not, and why it is increasingly common among young people.

As artists, we know the tension of living between vision and reality — the dream that stirs our heart and the pit that tests it. In this session, we explore the creative life through the lens of a biblical dreamer whose imagination was both a gift and a burden. Together, we uncover what it means to stay spiritually alive when circumstances and waiting stretch us thin.
