Communicating the Gospel with Boldness and Relevance

20 May 2025 | Ania Greenwood

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.

The Physiology and Acoustics of the Human Voice

19 May 2025 | Andy McIntosh

The way the human voice works is a marvel of acoustic engineering, and each person’s voice is a unique outworking of this engineering. In this talk, we discuss the anatomy and physiology of the human throat and larynx. The shape of our vocal tract adds many harmonics to the sound we make. How have humans been designed to make sounds and further to combine words and music to sing, and what does this design tell us about the One whose voice spoke us into existence? We consider how the uniqueness of the human voice points us to Christ, whose voice is supremely unique above all others.

Why Liberal Churches Collapse and Evangelical Churches (Often but Not Always) Thrive

18 May 2025 | Per Ewert

The leaders of many churches believe that in order to attract new members, they need to adapt to the culture. This workshop examines the trends in the post-war West, what factors stand out as driving church growth or decline, and what we can learn from the differences in development between liberal and Evangelical churches and denominations.

How to Lament in a Church of Praise

18 May 2025 | Heather Holdsworth

The tempestuous poetry of the Psalms is raw; it’s unnerving. It tells us we do not need to cover bewildered days with surface smiles and clichés. But how do we voice our aches, and how do we help those we lead to not walk away from God when trouble comes? This interview gives invaluable practical tools to grow our trust in God in the midst of pain.

Leading After Failure

19 May 2025 | John Stevens

Christian leaders are not perfect and will inevitably sin and fail in many ways. Whilst Christian leaders are rightly held to a higher standard of godly conduct, this does not mean that they should not be treated with grace and forgiveness when they fail. Some failures might rightly result in disqualification from ministry, but the proper response to others is repentance, restoration, and reconciliation.

Discipleship for Evangelism Among Muslims

20 May 2025 | Beth Peltola

Imagine a worldwide Church mature in the Christian faith, dedicated to Jesus and His holy ways, ready to boldly explain Him to the Islamic world. If the latest statistics are correct, a quarter of the world’s population signs up to Islam. That means the Church, you, and I have a big mission job ahead of us. This exciting field of Christian mission becomes even more urgent when we consider that there are more Muslims in the world than atheists. Islam is spreading in numbers, especially in Europe.

Navigating Transience: The Eternal Kingdom in a Changing World

5 May 2025 | Stef Liston

“As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18, ESV) This talk explores the challenges contemporary leaders face in an environment where nothing seems fixed—high mobility, economic pressures, and waves of social issues constantly reshape the cultural landscape. What was once only true of the city is now true almost everywhere.

The New Covenant Implications for Ministry Today

20 May 2025 | Peter Mead

In this talk, we consider other New Testament passages that address the New Covenant, and draw together an applied biblical theology of this great theme of Scripture. What are the implications of being ministers of the New Covenant in the 21st Century? How will understanding the New Covenant help us, not only in our preaching, but also in our leadership, in our pastoring, and in our role as Christ’s ambassadors in this world?

Discipling Women: Where Have We Gone Wrong and How Can We Get It Right?

18 May 2025 | Michelle Clifford

Why is it that so many women are believers but not disciples? How can we faithfully call women to true discipleship? In this talk, we discuss the current landscape of women’s discipleship, are reminded of why discipleship is so important, and gain practical resources in paving the way forward for women to make disciples who make disciples.

How Do We Grow in Our Transformational Knowledge of God and Self?

21 May 2025 | Jelena Sivulka

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.
