Transform Your Walk with Christ from the Inside Out!

Most of us have experienced what could be called, “head-focused discipleship.” It’s discipleship that focuses on “truth + willpower” as the key to growth and maturity, but leaves us coming up short.

But have you ever wondered what it actually means to pursue heart-focused discipleship? How do we move beyond surface-level Christianity to experience the freedom, identity, and intimacy with God that leads to lasting transformation?

This conference is designed to equip you with a holistic approach to spiritual growth that addresses the core issues of the heart. You’ll discover how freedom unlocks growth, how identity shapes maturity, and how authentic community sustains transformation. You’ll come away with practical tools for experiencing greater freedom, deeper intimacy with God, and a sustainable path forward in your discipleship journey.

This conference not only offers solid biblical teaching from respected leaders, but also gives you a clear pathway for implementation. Through sessions covering freedom, identity, prayer, community, and mission, youโ€™ll gain both the insights and the practical tools needed to cultivate heart-focused discipleship in your own life and ministry


When you purchase this online conference, you will receive:

  • Recordings: Long term access to the video recordings of each session to watch at your convenience (available starting 5-7 days after the event)
  • Notes: Downloadable and printable notes and PDF slides of presentations.
  • Long-term access to these materials that you can come back to at any time.

Donโ€™t miss this opportunity to unlock the doors to greater intimacy with God!
