Contemporary Confidence

Living Faithfully in a Post-Christian World

How do we more effectively, more faithfully, and more winsomely engage our cultural context for the sake of the gospel? Our exciting and dynamic speaker, John Dickson, will examine what a lifestyle of gospel-advancement looks like, and will unpack what he calls the explicit speech of the gospel. He will also dive into the world of the Early Church, identifying how they demonstrated an enduring evangelistic strategy and passion that we can learn from today.
