How I Love Your 'Law!' Really!? The Psalmist declares not devotion but "love" for Torah, what is that about? How can any one love "law" much less the "Law of Moses?" What is Torah about that makes God's people declare it to be "sweeter than honey?

Chris Seidman: Keepin’ It Real: Pursuing Integrity In A Swirl Of Hypocrisy (Part 2)

Jason Darden: What You Can Learn About Love, Being a Girl Dad

The father daughter relationship is a divine appointment. Daughters have a way of teaching even the strongest men that love is gentle, patient and kind. Fathers teach their daughters what true love looks like. In this class we will explore the do's and don'ts of being a girl dad and how the love of Christ restores even the most fragile relationships.

Cam Huxford: Finishing Strong...Faithful to the End! I Corinthians 15:58

Kelly Haer - Boone Center for the Family: RelateForward: Equipping Families for Generations of Faith

Join us for a practical and hope-filled workshop as we cast a vision for family legacy and the long work of raising mature Christ-followers. Research consistently shows that parents and grandparents remain the most influential voices in passing faith to future generations—yet in today’s cultural climate, that calling can feel more complex than ever.

 

This session is designed to help you prepare your child for adult life and healthy relationships. We’ll explore practical strategies that cultivate emotional maturity, spiritual resilience, and relational wisdom—qualities that prepare young adults to build strong homes and to live faithfully and connected in any season of life.

 

You’ll leave with clear insights and renewed confidence as you guide your child toward adulthood and a life grounded in faith.

Bobby Harrington & David Young: Theological Hills to Die On: Clarity, Conviction and Compassion (Part 3)

This session focuses on personal or disputable elements, those elements where Christians disagree with each other inside the same church.

Daryl Reed: Led by Love: Trusting God's Presence for Transformation

God has always led His people by His loving presence. This session explores love as God's guiding force, calling the church to discern His leading and to follow with trust and courage amid religious and cultural pressures. The church in America is torn between niceness without truth and truth without gentleness—weakening its witness to Christ. In that tension, love is often replaced by power rather than presence. Scripture offers a more excellent way: love rooted in trust, not control. This session explores how God’s love leads by presence, forming disciples as we walk with God—and with one another—over time.

Grey Powell: Building an Irresistable Church

Chris Zillman: Fighting for the Middle Way

Scripture often holds together truths we are tempted to separate. This session explores the “middle way”—a life shaped by discernment, where love refuses extremes and learns to hold tension faithfully. We will consider how this kind of wisdom forms communities that sustain unity across differing convictions and stages of spiritual maturity, embodying love as the more excellent way.

Lionel Sims: The Deep-End of Love

Loving as a service and loving as an ethic are two different things. Let's compare and contrast.

Ammar Saheli: Restoration Heritage & the Love Nexus: Reflections From a Personal Journey Part 2 (1 Cor 13:1-3)

This two-part presentation, first focuses on the radical essence of love, from a peacekeeping to a peacemaking motif, in a world and church that can often find itself stuck in silence. Additionally, we will explore an individualized and collective journey through our Restoration heritage with challenges, successes, and ephiphanies along the way. Come hear a story and be prepared to highlight yours.

Dee Dee Mayer: RelateStrong: Healthy Marriages, Strong Ministries

Ministry can be both a sacred calling and a significant strain on marriage. In this session, we’ll cast a compelling vision for what a thriving ministry marriage can look like and why relational health is not optional for long-term ministry fruitfulness. Drawing from the RelateStrong framework, we’ll explore how couples get caught in predictable cycles of pain and how they can move toward patterns of peace, connection, and growing intimacy that lasts. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective, a simple relational lens for understanding what’s happening when in conflict, and practical next steps for strengthening “us” in the midst of ministry demands. This session is for leaders who want their marriage to be a source of strength.
