Multiple Tracks for Your Whole Team
A Resilient Church for the Next Generation
The Resilient Hope track explores how the Church can cultivate lasting spiritual resilience by intentionally investing in and empowering the next generation. Through a focus on generational discipleship, prayer-centered leadership, and real-life stories of renewal, these sessions highlight the critical role of spiritual parents and mentors, the formation of young leaders grounded in prayer, and the emerging movement of Gen Z believers. Together, these workshops offer a vision for a Church that is not only sustained across generations but is actively preparing and releasing young leaders to carry forward a vibrant, enduring hope.

Rooting Next Gen - The Essential Role of Spiritual Parents and Grandparents | Thai Lam
Psalm 145 reminds us that “one generation shall commend Your works to another.” God’s design for resilience in the Church is generational faithfulness, which means older believers testifying to God’s character and works so the next generation can consider, imitate, and carry the faith forward. In a world filled with countless Christian voices and digital teachers, what young disciples lack most is not more content, but spiritual fathers, mothers, and grandparents who open their lives, model their faith, and invest deeply in a few strategic young people. This workshop will explore the biblical call to generational discipleship and how turning our hearts toward the next generation prepares a people ready for the Lord.
Releasing Next Gen - How the Church Can Equip and Mobilize Praying Leaders | Drew Humphrey
Jesus declared, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations” (Mark 11:17). While churches excel at building worship, missions, small groups, and leadership ministry teams, we often neglect intentionally raising up prayer leaders.
Resilient churches are not sustained by strategy alone, but by leaders formed in prayer. This workshop explores how to develop praying leaders who depend on Heaven rather than human strength and how to embed prayer into the culture and rhythms of ministry.
Chat with Next Gen Leaders - Stories of Renewal | Panel Moderated by Drew Humphrey & Thai Lam
Come hear firsthand from Gen Z leaders what God is doing on college campuses, in local churches, and in communities. This interactive panel will discuss the key trends of Gen Z and how the Lord is using the young leaders to bring a fresh resilient hope to the church.
The Influence of Faithful & Prayerful Women
Resilient Impact equips women to grow as prayerful leaders rooted in God’s presence. Through biblical teaching and practical prayer, participants will learn how to support their churches, navigate hardship with faith, and rediscover identity, worth, and purpose by abiding in God.

Prayer Champion - Become the Prayer Advocate your Church and Your Pastor Need | Ann Wong
Across scripture, renewal begins when God’s people return to Him together in prayer. God often stirs this hunger first in faithful disciples, and a majority of the time this is in women. How can you grow that hunger and desire into action to help strengthen your pastor, build unity and honor Christ’s design for His church.
Redeeming Trials - Praying through Hardships as Women | Amy Dutton Smith and Kaitlyn Stewart
This workshop explores how hardship can become a pathway for transformation—shaping our hearts, minds, bodies, and communities so we can live out God’s purpose together. Through worship-based prayer, participants will learn how to engage hardship in a way that renews the mind and deepens trust in God. The session includes guided reflection, a moment of silence to identify personal challenges, and a practical teaching on worship-based prayer (Reverence, Response, Request, Readiness)
Whole Again - Identity Found in God’s Presence | Paulina Torres
Have you ever wondered why it’s so easy to doubt God’s love? Do you know the reason you were created, or if your story has a purpose? In this workshop, we will dive into His Word to rediscover our identity, acceptance, and worth. Together, we’ll learn what it truly means to ABIDE in His presence and live out our God-given purpose.
Rooted, Filled, and Faithful
Resilient proclamation begins with meat that feeds—preaching that draws its authority, substance, and structure from the text of Scripture itself. It is sustained by living water of the Spirit as leaders prepare and proclaim in surrendered dependence upon the Holy Spirit, trusting Him to breathe life into faithful exposition week after week. Resilient proclamation endures through a biblical fidelity and steady endurance that values long-term faithfulness over fleeting impact, nourishing the flock with truth that strengthens generations.
Meat that Feeds – Expositional Preaching: What It Is, What It Is Not, and Why It Matters | HB Charles, Jr.
Expositional preaching is not a style preference, but a sacred trust to discharge the authority of God’s Word over God’s people. In this workshop, we will clarify what true exposition is, what it is not, and why preaching that draws its message from the text itself is essential for spiritual health and enduring fruit for generations to come. When pastors consistently serve meat that feeds, congregations are strengthened, anchored in truth, and equipped to stand firm in a shifting culture.
Water that Enlivens – Spirit-Dependent Preparation and Proclamation | Jarrett Stephens
Faithful preaching requires more than disciplined study; it demands a surrendered heart and Spirit-dependent sensitivity. This session will explore how abiding in Christ and cultivating reliance on the living water of the Holy Spirit transforms sermon preparation from mere analysis into sacred worship. Week after week, pastors who preach in humble dependence experience fresh anointing, deeper joy, and lasting impact beyond their natural ability.
Bread that Sustains – The Preacher’s Long Obedience | Alistair Begg
Long-term pulpit ministry is built on a biblical mindset that values faithfulness over flash and endurance over applause. Together we will examine the scriptural convictions and pastoral rhythms that sustain a lifetime of steady, nourishing preaching – especially when the demands of life and ministry are hard. When a shepherd commits to feeding the flock with consistency and courage, the church matures, generations are strengthened, and Christ is honored over decades—not just moments.
Where Prayer Becomes Culture
The Resilient Pursuit track reminds us that prayer is not merely a ministry of the church. It is the lifeblood of the church. Yet, many leaders struggle to move from valuing prayer to embedding it as a transforming culture. This track will inspire renewed conviction and provide practical, field-tested pathways for establishing prayer as the priority, shaping its guiding principles, and persevering when the journey becomes difficult. Through biblical teaching and honest pastoral stories, you will be equipped to lead your people into a resilient pursuit of God that sustains spiritual transformation and enduring fruit.

Why We Must Pray - The Priority and Particulars of Prayer Culture | Dennis Henderson
Prayer cannot be seen as just a sermon series, a church program, or a periodic emphasis. This workshop will ground leaders in the biblical mandate for prayer and unpack the essential elements that shape a thriving, sustainable prayer culture. When we understand both the priority and the particulars, we lead with lasting conviction and impact.
How We Should Pray - The Principles for Leading Life-Giving Prayer | Daniel Henderson
To shepherd God’s people into transforming communion with God we must lead prayer in ways that are biblical, Christ-centered, and Spirit-dependent. This session will explore clear principles that move prayer gatherings from routine to renewing and from passive to participative. You will gain practical guidance for cultivating prayer environments of Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer that can renew entire congregations.
When Prayer Is Hard - Practical Stories to Fuel Endurance | PANEL including Rob Jones, Aaron Telecky, Jeremiah Porter, Troy Keaton and Moderated by ( )
Every pastor faces seasons when prayer feels dry and difficult. In this honest and hope-filled panel, seasoned leaders will share real stories of perseverance, lessons learned in weakness, and the sustaining grace of God through difficult stretches. You will leave strengthened to endure in prayer with renewed faith that God is always at work—even when the people are indifferent and answers seem slow in coming.
Dwell, Pray, and Multiply
The Resilient Discipleship track explores how worship-based prayer and Scripture-centered discipleship cultivate mature followers of Jesus who grow in Christlike character and contribute strategically to God’s mission. When believers learn to dwell in the Word, pray the Word, and multiply the Word in community, discipleship becomes more than information transfer, it becomes spiritual formation that fuels mission. Through biblical teaching and practical models, participants will discover how churches can form disciples whose lives are rooted in God’s presence and released for Kingdom advancement.
Dwelling in the Word – How Singing Scripture Forms Resilient Disciples | Shane Barnard & Shane Everett
Singing isn’t just for singers. In fact, singing is not only a response to God’s grace but also a means of God’s grace. Scripture calls believers to let “the word of Christ dwell in you richly… singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” (Colossians 3:16). This workshop explores how singing the Word shapes the heart, renews the mind, and deepens spiritual formation. Participants will learn how incorporating Scripture-centered singing into personal and congregational rhythms can help disciples internalize truth and cultivate resilient faith.
Praying the Word – How Worship-Based Prayer Forms Mature Followers of Jesus | Alice Moss
Lasting discipleship flows from communion with God. Worship-based prayer provides a simple yet powerful framework that helps believers move beyond routine prayer into Scripture-fed, Spirit-led intimacy with God. This workshop will introduce practical ways to incorporate worship-based prayer into personal devotion and group discipleship. Participants will learn how practicing the Lord’s model prayer can guide believers into deeper worship, greater surrender, and increased spiritual maturity. When disciples learn to pray the Word, their lives become anchored in God’s presence and aligned with His purposes.
Multiplying the Word – How Discipleship Communities Advance a Culture of Prayer | Justin Jeppesen
Healthy discipleship produces more disciples. Yet many small groups struggle to move beyond discussion into true spiritual formation and mission. This workshop will explore how discipleship communities can cultivate resilient followers of Jesus through Scripture-centered discussion, worship-based prayer, and missional living. Drawing from the Acts 6 model and the rhythms of the early church, participants will discover practical ways to transform small groups into environments where disciples grow in character, develop spiritual leadership, and multiply their faith into others. When disciples dwell in the Word together and pray together, churches begin to see a culture of prayer emerge that fuels long-term spiritual growth and gospel advancement.
Realizing the Word - Why Ordinary Christians Will Be Shouting "The Bridegroom Comes!" | RT Kendall
In this workshop, RT Kendall invites us to consider the possibility that the next great move on God’s calendar is an awakening within the church itself. Rather than being led by celebrity voices or extraordinary figures, this awakening may come through ordinary Christians who are devoted to Scripture, prayer, and readiness for Christ’s return. With urgency and hope, Kendall calls believers to become the ones who boldly announce, “The Bridegroom is coming.”
Wisdom for the Way - How the Holy Spirit Provides Practical Guidance for What's Next | Jim Maxim
Learning to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” — Proverbs 8:12
Whether you’re building a business or a church, raising a family, navigating relationships, pursuing a career, or simply seeking God’s direction for what’s next, you need wisdom beyond your own. In this workshop, discover how the Holy Spirit provides wisdom, direction, and practical guidance for every area of life. You’ll be encouraged to seek His voice, trust His leading, and recognize the ways He desires to guide and bless you as you walk in His purposes.

¡Novedad para 2026!
El verbo más activo - Aprendiendo a orar mientras esperamos en Dios | Kiké Torres
“Kike crece, pero jamás crece tanto como cuando SUFRE”, dijo mi esposa luego de una crisis tremenda en el ministerio hace unos años. Y es verdad, DIOS SACA SIEMPRE UN PROVECHO en y de las aflicciones, por lo que saber lo esencial de la oración ahí y que esperar, es CLAVE para no solo sobrevivir la desesperación, sino saber ESPERAR bíblicamente y con propósito. Veremos en tan solo 3 versículos del salmo 40 como Dios nos invita y como aceitar y aprovechar la invitación que solo la desesperación puede causar, para servir en el plan de Dios y darle gloria.
Siguiendo la dirección del Espíritu Santo cuando diriges en oración | Billy Chidester
Una iglesia puede lograr algunas cosas gracias al talento y las habilidades de un pastor. Sin embargo, es imposible lograr un impacto eterno verdadero sin el poder del Espíritu Santo. Una cultura de oración no es un programa, sino que emana del epicentro del líder de la iglesia. El pastor más eficaz para pastorear el rebaño de Dios es aquel que está lleno del Espíritu y empoderado por Él. Como pastores, ¿confían en su propio poder para edificar la iglesia? ¿O están empoderados por el Espíritu Santo?
De la carga a la misión - Cómo la oración convierte tu visión en acción | Pastor Ramón Medina
Dios no nos impone cargas para aplastarnos, sino para guiarnos. A partir de Habacuc 2:2 y la historia de Nehemías, veremos cómo la oración transforma esa carga en una visión, y esa visión en algo real. Tendremos una enseñanza bíblica, un tiempo para reflexionar y un momento de oración en grupo. Cada líder saldrá de aquí con mayor claridad sobre lo que Dios le llama a hacer y con una fe más firme para seguir adelante sin rendirse.
El verdadero descanso - Confía, la salvación es del Señor | Paulina Torres
Aunque las circunstancias sean adversas, no tienes que vivir con temor. En este taller basado en el Salmo 3, descubriremos cómo Dios es el escudo que nos protege, sostiene y levanta nuestra cabeza. Ven y encuentra el descanso real que nace de confiar plenamente en Su salvación.
Devotion Before Delegation
The Resilient Worship track calls worship leaders back to the foundational priority of personal devotion as the source of lasting, impactful ministry. Moving beyond performance-driven metrics, these sessions explore what truly defines meaningful corporate worship, the importance of soul care and self-leadership for long-term faithfulness, and the pursuit of Spirit-empowered gatherings that lead people into genuine encounters with God. Together, these workshops cast a vision for worship leadership that is rooted in intimacy with God, sustained by healthy rhythms, and marked by spiritual depth rather than outward excellence alone.

God Uses Our Weakness - Mental Health and Personal Challenge | Jeff Wells

Renewing the Leader’s Mind - Breaking Mental Barriers to Flourishing Ministry | Chris Scaffidi
