Sanctification 101
Dr. Timothy Crutcher (Breakout Session 1 only)
Holiness is not a complicated reality. It is actually the thread that ties together what we know about who God is, who we are as human beings, and how we relate to God.

A Creative God Creates A Creative Church
Danaka Bulthuis (Breakout Session 1 & 2)
Trees, Sorcerers, and Tent Stakes God used them all. Sit with other believers as we search for God’s gift to us. In our obedience, we must use that gift to disciple others.
Our churches have been pushed into changing during the past couple of years. Can you learn to embrace this moment in time or are you struggling to return to “normal”? Just as a rubber band once stretched cannot return to its original shape, our churches will never be the same shape again. Spend some time today searching and understanding the call of the Nazarene Church to reach the nations, how our world is changing, and how we need to look at our future. God always provides direction for His church. What path could He be calling you to follow? How can you build your church body to further His kingdom? Would He really be asking you to do something creative? 2.5% of humans come up with new ideas on their own, but 97.5% of us will be used by God to come up with new ideas. Are you ready for God to stretch your mind?
