Description

Many Christians today seem to lack ethical seriousness. When difficult choices arise, they demontrate a low level of commitment to scriptural teaching and often default to the norms of their environment. During the 2014 Regent College Pastors' Conference, we want to help pastors reframe the call to discipleship so that formation and transformation become an outflow of our participation in the triune God, producing an attractive, vivid, and effective pattern of faithfulness that reflects his desire for us to be truly human persons, "fully alive", bearers of the beauty of his holiness. Lectures include:

Being Human: Embodying God's Character - Rikk Watts
Having All You Need - Mark Buchanan
The Sexually Healthy Pastor - Keith Krull
The Spirit and the Cross: The Gospel and Christian Character - Rikk Watts
Making Every Effort - Mark Buchanan
Ethical Living and Social Justice - Soohwan Park and Jonathan Wilson
Living the Kingdom: Loving Your Neighbours as Christ Loves Them - Mariam Kamell
Increasing the Measure - Mark Buchanan
The Church and the Law: When Does a Pastor Need to Call a Lawyer? - Kevin Boonstra
Endurance in Faith (Fullness): The Certainty of Hope - Mariam Kamell
Participating in the Transforming Gospel - Ross Hastings
