The story of the church has always moved through migration, displacement, and Spirit-led scattering. Through personal story, Scripture, and the witness of immigrant churches, this workshop will explore how God is using first, 1.5, and second generation young leaders to shape the future of the church. Together, we will name the beauty and pain carried by these young leaders as they navigate identity, calling, family, culture, and faith. We will also imagine how the whole church can become a deeper community of welcome, formation, healing, and mission. This workshop invites young adults to see their stories not as secondary, but as part of how God is forming and sending the church today.

Many of us have felt moments where we can barely hold space for our neighbor, lost a sense of the passion that once ignited us, and feel as if God does not care about the details of our lives. Often as Christians we emphasize the importance of being

Many of us have felt moments where we can barely hold space for our neighbor, lost a sense of the passion that once ignited us, and feel as if God does not care about the details of our lives. Often as Christians we emphasize the importance of being selfless, loving our neighbor, and the importance of avoiding self-centeredness. This workshop explores a biblical framework from the first and second commandment of "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind… And love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-40), and see how caring for ourselves can strengthen our capacity to love God and serve others well.

In seasons of spiritual dryness, when God feels distant and prayer or Scripture feels difficult, it can be easy to drift into distraction, discouragement, or simply going through the motions. This workshop will explore how spiritual disciplines help

In seasons of spiritual dryness, when God feels distant and prayer or Scripture feels difficult, it can be easy to drift into distraction, discouragement, or simply going through the motions. This workshop will explore how spiritual disciplines help keep Christ at the center when our hearts feel scattered or our faith feels routine. Together, we will consider how practices such as Scripture, prayer, worship, fasting, confession, and community are not rigid checklists or ways to earn God’s love. They are grace-filled rhythms that shape our desires, strengthen our faith, and form us into faithful disciples who continue drawing near to Christ in every season.

This workshop challenges participants to move beyond awareness and into action by reframing inclusion as a core part of discipleship rather than an added initiative. Grounded in Scripture and real-life experience, attendees will explore how Jesus modeled intentional inclusion and how modern ministry structures often create unintentional barriers. Through biblical scenario analysis, personal reflection, and practical strategy-building, participants will identify gaps within their own environments and learn how to design inclusive spaces that are embedded into the culture. The session emphasizes creating systems that naturally support individuals of all abilities without the need for special announcements or adjustments after the fact. Participants will leave with a clear framework and actionable next steps to build inclusive discipleship practices where all individuals can belong, grow, and lead.

Financial pressure impacts our peace, relationships, future, and ability to thrive. In this workshop, the team from CAP America will share practical biblical wisdom on budgeting, debt, stewardship, and building a healthier financial future. But this isn’t just about your money. Financial struggles are one of the greatest hidden burdens facing urban communities today — creating stress, instability, and hopelessness. Through stories, practical tools, and a live panel discussion, attendees will discover how financial ministry can become a powerful tool for evangelism, discipleship, community care, and lasting gospel impact through the local church.

What if integrity and ethics weren’t imparted through scripture knowledge alone, but cultivated through the discipleship in the school of daily living? This workshop will challenge us to think biblically around topics of internal value systems, honor

What if integrity and ethics weren’t imparted through scripture knowledge alone, but cultivated through the discipleship in the school of daily living? This workshop will challenge us to think biblically around topics of internal value systems, honoring God when it’s inconvenient, and trusting Him to write our stories. Our session will be anchored in the story of Joseph and how he modeled biblical integrity through seasons of trauma, delay, and disappointment.

As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, people across the political and cultural spectrum are telling competing stories about America’s past and debating what its future should become. But how should Christians understand our nation’s history

As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, people across the political and cultural spectrum are telling competing stories about America’s past and debating what its future should become. But how should Christians understand our nation’s history in light of God’s redemptive story? What does it mean to live as dual citizens of both a country and a Kingdom that are not always aligned? And how can our calling to make disciples, be salt and light, and serve as ambassadors of Christ shape the way we engage a deeply polarized political culture with both truth and love? Join us to explore the AND Campaign framework for faithful civic engagement and discover practical ways to live out your Christian witness in today’s political moment.

Emotional health is not optional in discipleship or leadership — it is essential! Spiritual maturity cannot exist alongside emotional immaturity. In this workshop, we will address your emotional life directly and show why emotional health is necessary for a people whose lives and leadership are marked by honest confession and genuine repentance.

As kids, we played hide and seek. As adults—especially as leaders—most of us never stopped. We show up to our jobs, our families, our churches, and the people we lead polished, put together, and performing, all while hiding behind carefully sewn fig leaves that keep us disconnected from God, others, and even ourselves. The thing is, the coverings we’ve learned to trust were sewn together in fear, shame, and uncertainty. So how do we practically step out of hiding? And how do we create Eden-like spaces for us to be naked and unashamed with one another? In this breakout, we’ll discover the fig leaves we hide behind, expose the cost of living unseen, and explore (practically and with neuroscience) what it looks like to lead and live a life of being both naked and unashamed.

A disciple's blueprint for breaking the school-to-prison pipeline Every case number starts somewhere, and it is almost never the courtroom. It is an empty refrigerator, an absent parent, an untreated grief, a neighborhood with no imagined future. This session lays out the blueprint I've built through We The Revolt and our work with the national Every Youth, Every Facility movement to reach every incarcerated young person in every facility: name the six root causes, treat the home as the first system, and understand family stability as a violence-prevention strategy, because safe homes make safe streets. From there we get concrete about what the church and disciplemakers can actually build: care that meets kids where the trauma lives, mentorship that puts fathers back into the picture, and models t hat pay for real transformation instead of just motion. We'll look at approaches that are already working, from diversion to civil citation to community mentoring, and ask what it takes for believers to become a parallel system of change instead of one more program that passes kids along. You will leave with a framework for moving from compassion to construction, because the church does not have a compassion deficit, it has a structure deficit.
