Resilient Faith: Finding Our Way in Uncertain Times
Sep 11-13, 2025 | Nashville, TN
In a world marked by division and deep uncertainty, many are navigating their faith journey with compassion, hope, and generosity. “Resilient Faith: Finding Our Way in Uncertain Times” is a gathering for those who are asking hard questions and confronting the multiple crises of our time by seeking a more grounded, hopeful path forward in the way of Jesus.
We invite ministry leaders, seekers, and communities to explore how Christian faith can remain steadfast yet responsive, rooted yet evolving. Through keynote sessions, workshops, and shared reflection, we will wrestle with what it means to trust, adapt, and act in a time when old certainties are fading—and new possibilities are emerging.
Together, we will examine:
- How to cultivate spiritual resilience in the way of Jesus
- What it means to lead and live faithfully amid moral and societal upheaval
- Healing practices grounded in Christian spirituality that help chart a new way
Come to be challenged, inspired, and reconnected to a faith that endures—not by avoiding uncertainty, but by walking through it with honesty and hope.
