Devoted: Intentional Identity

Billy Hungate

|

Holden Convention Center – Mt. Hood Auditorium

Who are we becoming? In a world that constantly tries to define us by achievement, failure, image, or performance, we will explore what it means to root our identity in Christ. Together we’ll rediscover the freedom of living from who God says we are rather than striving to prove ourselves. Walking directions

Text & Speculation: Reading Revelation Responsibly

Brant Berglin

|

Holden Convention Center – Mt. Hood Auditorium

Revelation has been vital to Adventist identity since our formation as a distinct people. Today, many read Revelation’s prophecies and apply them to each new major world event, movement, war, or disaster. Is there a way to ensure our application of Revelation is careful, responsible, and accurate? This seminar explores tools from the text itself that guide us in aligning interpretation and application with world events. Walking Directions

Formed & Sent: The Non-Anxious Leader in an Anxious World

Andreas Beccai

|

Holden Convention Center – Laurelwood Room

Anxiety doesn't stay with the person who originally feels it. It moves. It transfers. It reorganizes communities, families, and workplaces around managing the anxiety rather than pursuing the mission. This session draws on the Bowen Family Systems theory and the story of William Tyndale to explore what it looks like to be a genuinely grounded presence in systems that are anything but, and why that kind of leadership is less about personality than about formation.

Introduction to Trauma Awareness

Katelyn Weakley

|

Holden Convention Center – Cascade Room B/C

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "what is wrong with that person?" There's a fair chance that the answer has something to do with trauma. This workshop introduces the essential foundations of trauma awareness for lay leaders and church officers. In this first of two sessions, participants will explore what trauma is, how it impacts the brain, body, and behavior, and why understanding its prevalence and impact is necessary for ministering to God's people today. Drawing from clinical insights and biblical reflection, this session lays the groundwork for more compassionate, informed, and effective ministry. If you work with people within or outside of the church, this workshop is for you! Walking Directions

The Word That Has the Last Word

Andreas Beccai

|

Gladstone Pavilion

"My Word will not return to me empty." Tyndale was martyred before he ever saw his translation reach the people he gave his life for. But the Word went out, and it did not return empty. This message traces the unstoppable journey of Scripture, from a condemned translator's cell to the hands of ordinary people everywhere. Walking Directions
