If you are a Bible-believing Christian, you’re now in a shrinking minority in the culture around us. Bible-believing Christians today increasingly feel the tension of wanting to stand up for truth and live out our faith, but are subject to being “canceled” by friends, family, work colleagues, and others simply for holding beliefs contrary to the cultural moral consensus.
Join us at our Crossing Campus in Pleasanton on May 4, 2024, from 9:00 AM -4:00 PM to hear from author, national speaker, blogger, and podcaster Natasha Crain as she shares how we can speak God's truth with conviction and courage and how we can hold to a biblical worldview within a challenging culture. Natasha will share how we can each regain clarity on what it means to be faithfully different from today’s culture for
1) the health of our relationship with the Lord
2) our ability to effectively be salt and light to others.
Find out more about Natasha here.
Space will be limited, so plan to register early. Early bird registration is $27.
