Summer Conference: Wrestling with Wokeness.

How do we respond to the increasing challenges of living and breathing in a post Christian culture? What do we do with Gender Ideology, Racial Equity, Cultural Marxism, and the host of other social justice movements?

“Wrestling with Wokeness” is a workshop on engaging a woke culture.

Come to Roan Mountain in the Tennessee Appalachians and experience both the beauty of God’s creation and the truth of God’s Word.  This workshop will explore a number of important and relevant topics, including:

– Answering Cultural Marxism: How do we respond to Critical Race Theory (CRT), gender ideology, etc.?
– Is Man the Measure of all Things? Who are we and what does that tell us about our life in Christ?
– Gender is Eternal: What is the biblical basis for gender and what dos that tell us about our life in Christ?
