Featured Keynotes
A Better Self: Discovering Our Identity
Who are you? There are many ways we can answer this question, and we now live in a world that offers multiple options for "your perfect self." Does God have anything to say about this search for identity? Indeed He does, and when we learn what God says about us we discover a way of life beyond the identity crises all around us.
Walking the Path Between Extremes: Hopeful Witness in Distressing Times
We seem to be surrounded by polarization on politics, culture, and distress can seem to be unavoidable. What should Christians do when it seems we cannot avoid the loud voices from the extremes on the left and right? Instead of being paralyzed by fear or desperation, we can recall the deep truths of our faith and demonstrate a better way. When we remember and practice the greatest news of all, we can show the world a better way: the path of courage and hope.
Can We Live Together?: Facing Race
The challenge of race can seem difficult to overcome. God's plan is to have a people from "all kinds of people"; is it possible for His people to live together across racial and ethnic differences? By embracing the deep truths of God's word and taking a steady path of patience and humility, we can begin to show a divided world that life together is more than a fantasy.
