Redefining Success
The future of the church depends on leaders who are deeply formed in the way of Jesus, maintaining integrity on the inside and experiencing true freedom in how they lead. This year's theme calls us to measure our ministries by our presence, character, and spiritual depth.
Drawing from Pete Scazzero's upcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success.
Pastors and practitioners who have spent decades integrating emotional health and spiritual maturity in real churches and real cities.
Each session is designed to create space for honest reflection and genuine transformation.
This two-day gathering is for pastors and leaders seeking to build emotionally healthy church cultures.
Drawing from Pete Scazzero's upcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success, this conference is a space to wrestle with the deeper questions.
This is not a download of content or a summit of strategies. It's a focused experience around the 8 Marks of an Emotionally Healthy Culture — how the inner life of leaders shapes the shared life of a church over time.
Registration includes full access to all main sessions, your breakout, and printed conference materials to use throughout the event.
* Bringing a team? Select the group discount at checkout when registering 5 or more people together.
