| John's topic will be "The Integrated Life." So much of Western Christianity and modern life pulls and pushes us to segment and categorize our world and our own lives. The Gospel of Jesus Christ announces the invitation to wholeness and integrity-the integrated life. |

Earl Palmer will be focusing on Paul's letter to the Philippians, with the theme: Advice We Want to Hear: St. Paul, the Friend of Those Who Want to Serve as Leaders. Earl will be joined by Phil Green, Stacey Toomey, and Daniel Gerard Rouzier. Phil will talk about how he lives out his faith in the world of banking. Stacey will talk about the high calling of home life and activism. Daniel will speak to what it means to live out his faith in a country with many challenges and opportunities. Through Earl's engaging biblical teaching and Phil, Stacey, and Daniel's compelling personal stories, we will consider how we can be leaders who serve the Lord in all we do. |
