Workshops for Kingdom Impact
Explore your gifts, grow your calling, and learn practical ways to bring God-sized ideas to life alongside others who share your faith.
Workshops
That Transform
Our workshops are built for the pastors, pioneers, and church builders who refuse to let fear keep God-sized vision on the drawing board.
These are not passive lectures. They are practical incubators designed for active execution. Each session equips you with actionable tools to lead with conviction on Monday morning. Here, we’ll turn our burning questions into fiery courage for charging into what we have been called to do.
Immerse yourself in any of the workshop tracks.

Joel Buckner Begin Where You Are You don't have to be good enough. You just have to start somewhere.

Come learn tools for how to build sustainable rhythms, protect your boundaries, and honor the quiet maintenance that no one claps for.

Andrew Hanauer Christian Peacemaking in an Age of Polarization The toxic polarization that is tearing apart our country is both an affront to Christian teaching and a threat to creativity. We increasingly make decisions out of fear that we will be labeled as disloyal or insufficiently committed to our "tribe," rather than out of a commitment to truth no matter what the cost. This makes it harder for people to come up with creative solutions to complicated problems, and to work together collaboratively with people who are different from them. This interactive session will get participants thinking about how polarization works in our brains and in our communities, and how our faith shows us the way out, and forward.
Thursday, 3:45 - 4:45 PM

Sherry El-Gawly Power of Scent Scent has the power to transport us elsewhere—to another place, another time, a strong emotion, a memory. And yet, scent is rarely celebrated in the sensory world. This guided session is an invitation to slow down and pay attention. We’ll examine the science of scents, of how they’re constructed and layered. We’ll learn how to test scents to find one that jives with our body chemistry. We’ll explore how to use scent as a tool for self-expression, mood, and wardrobing.
