About this event

Event lasts 6 hours 30 minutes

Join us for a day of teaching, insights and practical application on how to express and embody the biblical, orthodox sexual ethic with clarity and compassion for all.

With special guest Preston Sprinkle, this day-long conference for church leaders and leadership teams will explore how society has redefined how we view sex and sexuality in recent years, what the Bible has to say on issues of sex, sexuality and gender, and how we can practically and compassionately help people to live flourishing and fulfilling lives in step with scripture.

The day kicks off with a keynote from Preston Sprinkle, best-selling author of Does the Bible support Same-Sex Marriage? and Embodied. Preston is one of the leading thinkers and practitioners on the subject of sex, sexuality and gender from a faith perspective. He will be sharing his insights and experience of navigating hot-button cultural and theological issues with thoughtfulness, honesty and grace.

The day will include a live recording of the Being Human podcast that will unpack some of the pastoral and missional nuances, challenges and opportunities. Interviewing Preston will be Peter Lynas and Jo Frost from the Evangelical Alliance's Being Human project.

In the afternoon we will get practical as we hear from church leaders on how they’ve begun to think through the missional and discipleship implications in their own contexts. There will also be lots of opportunities to hear about relevant resources to help your local church navigate these complex issues well.

Interspersed with worship and prayer, the day will give you and your leadership team practical wisdom and ideas on how to handle these issues with compassion and confidence.
