The Indispensable Keys to Healthy Team Leadership

• Speaker: Brandon Cash
• Location: Classroom [TBD]

Relational Spirituality

• Speaker: Todd Hall

Paul and our Communal Gospel Story

• Speaker: Lisa Igram
• Location: Classroom [TBD]
• Description: Our knowing of the gospel — our knowing Jesus — has not, is not, and will never be a purely individual endeavor. During this session we’ll discuss ways Paul talks about the centrality of community in truly knowing the gospel, and that our being embedded in Spirit-bound friendships with other believers is a key element of our own growth in faith (Phil 2:19-30; 1 Cor 10-14).
