Bryan Schackmann The majority of churches around the world are what we would consider small. What does it look like to seek God in this context? How could we focus on God's unique calling for a smaller body of believers? Join us as we hear from ministers, elders, and others who have seen God's big work in a smaller context.

Tim Hall "The Perspective of a Parent and Pastor of a Same-Sex Attracted Son" How do you stay grounded in truth while showing love?

Phil Brookman Busyness knows how to breed. And just like the weeds in our gardens, the multiplication rate is pretty alarming. Borrowing a title from Alli Worthington’s 2016 book, we will explore the roots beneath busyness, and the practical ways for Christians today to loosen its grip in the soil of our hearts by using the power of no and the practice of Sabbath.

Jeremiah Gibson Our faith tradition's challenges with effectively discussing sexuality have contributed to numerous types of sexual conflict. Gain an understanding of consent that extends into providing couples with a process for improving their quality of communication and intimacy, and learn ways that we can improve our relationships by actively practice consent in sexual and nonsexual contexts.

Michael Bishop In 1997 Michael Bishop discovered a hidden file about a legendary 1964 murder in Nashville, Tennessee. With the help of an investigator, he revealed the involvement of a group of powerful citizens in the murder and the framing of an innocent man.

Sara Jackson, Emily Lemley "Stepping Wholeheartedly into Your Future" God is always ahead of his people, and yet so often we cannot see his purpose until we look back. We will examine ways to renew our faith and walk in hope, even when it feels like God has forgotten us. King David, who danced and wept before the Lord, points the way.
