Speakers
Many social, cultural, and political issues confronting the church and God’s people today are evolving at a rapid pace. It is easy to become confused and distracted by the many terms being used to define those situations, not to mention the unbiblical responses to them. The goal of this conference is to bridge some of the gaps that exist in discussing those challenges biblically, particularly as it relates to the power of the Gospel to transform hearts and lives. We hope this conference will help provide clear and compelling Christ-centered answers and solutions for the issues and questions being raised.
