By Josh Scott February 23, 2025
In the context of re-wilding, Scott calls for a church that is less about programs and more about cultivating deep, organic relationships. He challenges traditional structures and encourages a faith that breathes new life into church practices—focused on true discipleship, deep listening, and a radical love that moves beyond the walls of the sanctuary into everyday life.
By Lanecia Rouse February 23, 2025
Lanecia Rouse’s talk, "Embracing the In-Between of Life," explores the often overlooked and underappreciated moments of transition that shape who we are. With heartfelt insight, Lanecia invites the audience to reflect on the spaces between clear milestones—those moments when we’re neither here nor there, neither past nor future. Rather than rushing to resolve uncertainty, she encourages us to find peace, growth, and even beauty in this in-between phase. Through personal stories, wisdom, and practical reflections, she shows how embracing these moments can lead to deeper self-awareness, resilience, and a more fulfilling journey through life.
