"Why Your Church Must Change Its Story to Live"

Thursday May 02, 2019
Kindy De Long
A three-day session considering a biblical "big picture" of how God creates, sees, and interacts with people not as genders, but as unique human beings. The first session explores men and women created in the image of God in partnership with each other and redeemed into a community of Christ that fulfills this creation ideal. The second session focuses on women in the Bible who used their God-given gifts to lead God's people. The third session investigates the "limiting" passages in Paul's letters in light of this larger picture of Scripture.

John Barton, Edina Lekovic
Maybe the best way for Christians to begin interacting with Muslims is with simple listening. We cannot love our neighbors unless we listen to them, understand them better, and understand ourselves in relationship to them. Friends John Barton and Edina Lekovic talk about faith, family, mission, and life together.

Today, nostalgia wins political campaigns and keeps churches from imagining our best future together. Others in our culture believe God and the Scriptures God has inspired are behind the times. Is the best future a return to an imagined, pristine era when things were ideal, or is our best future actually in the future?

"Is North America Immune to Disciple-Making Movements?"
Disciple-making movements have been producing stunning numbers around the world, but can the same thing happen in North America? Too often when people hear about what God is doing around the world, they respond with, “That sounds great, but it won’t work here.” Is that true? We will discuss the phenomenon of disciple-making movements and how churches in the US can begin to see similar things happening. Hosted by Mission Resource Network

Women in Roles of Congregational Leadership, Part 1
Thursday May 02, 2019
Thursday May 02, 2019
Sheila Bost, Amy Bost Henegar
Churches of Christ around the world are rethinking a Biblical view of gender. Many of these congregations have reached the conclusion that significant changes must be made—that churches must transition their leadership and worship styles from traditional patriarchy to a model of Spirit-empowered mutuality. And while a congregation may be thoroughly convinced that it wants to see more women in leadership, the process of change is complicated. It is helpful to hear from other churches who have made the journey and to learn from their experiences. A panel of leaders and members of two different congregations—one on the West Coast and one on the East Coast—that have made significant changes in the area of gender will share their thoughts and experiences. All panel members will be present all three days with the conversations continuing from one session to the next. Through these conversations, the panelists hope to encourage congregations that are in the midst of the change process.
