Biblical gratitude is closely related to understanding God's righteousness and His grace. God desires us to be thankful because it leads to many benefits for us. Science shows that gratitude impacts our emotional, physical and relational health. God however will not make us more grateful; it is our role to cultivate gratitude. Speaker: James Rochford

Listening (2015)
Lee Campbell makes the case that listening is a skill leaders have to develop on purpose — we listen to understand, to love (because people feel loved when they're heard), to influence and be influenced, and often to finally be heard ourselves. He starts with humility as the prerequisite, drawing on both Scripture and research into selective attention, memory, and how quickly our brains generate self-justifying stories about our own behavior. From there he gets practical: what it means to turn toward someone rather than turn away or turn against them, how to notice things out loud instead of jumping to conclusions, how to validate someone's feelings without necessarily agreeing with them, and how to steer a conversation past blame and defensiveness back toward what the person actually experienced. Listening doesn't replace bringing truth or correction — it makes both land with more weight, because you've listened first. Speaker: Lee Campbell

A Biblical Meditation on Experience and Truth (2008)
As D.A. Carson exposits Psalm 1, a few blaring questions come to mind. For one, the stark contrast between the righteous ones who meditate on God's Word and the wicked may seem too black and white for our modern experience. Through this lecture, however, Carson presents seven steps to process and think through Psalm 1. This includes understanding the different literary forms of the Bible, understanding how each genre works, describing Jesus' own parallel thinking, etc. Through this deeper, intellectual look through this psalm, we can truly gain understanding of meditating on the word. Speaker: D.A. Carson

Ministering Because I Matter (2021)
In order to approach God's ministry from the way He wants you to, you must know who you are and why you matter. What God says about you and your identity will guide you in how to love. There are many signs and symptoms that arise when you minister from your own self effort. They are all self-focused and fear based. When you minister from your identity, you come from a place of humility and gratitude. The result is bearing fruit for God and experiencing His love. Speaker: Mateo Williamson

He talks about how through the cross God has made redemptive suffering central to His plan and His glory. DeLashmutt talks about why we can view our sufferings as a precious resource as well as how we can manage our sufferings to God's glory. Speaker: Gary DeLashmutt

Scott focuses on Paul the Apostle's final hour, especially his inventory of friendships from the end of 2 Timothy 4. When friendships come and go, Lord, help us stick it out like Paul. Speaker: Scott Risley

Why Weakness is your Greatest Strength (2022)
In our culture, weakness is often either kept hidden from others or it is used to garner sympathy--in both cases to feed one's ego. But Paul says our weaknesses are not only not a hindrance to God using us, but in fact are the key to us understanding how to bring God's power, and not our own, into our walk with God. Paul says that God has put His power in us, but releases it through the pressure of suffering. Our suffering though can sharpen our understanding of God if we seek Him in trials, and we can trust that He is using it to help us look more and more like Jesus. Speaker: Eric Mason

Discipleship (2011)
From 2011 servant team retreat, Ruth Welsh works through 1 Thessalonians 2 to make a theological case for why personal discipleship demands urgency — not just as a strategy, but because the people you invest in now will stand alongside you before Christ. If they're your crown of exaltation, the question becomes whether you're treating them like it. Speaker: Ruth Welsh

Entering God's Rest (2006)
Responding to God and trusting Him leads to being able to partake in His rest. This rest lifts burdens from His people, but it can seem difficult to understand at first. Entering into God's rest involves ceasing from works, while making every effort to depend on God. This can only be understood and applied through grace and mercy, which are available through Christ. Speaker: Gary DeLashmutt

How a Pastor Must Die (2009)
Leaders have been called to die to self. The way to accomplish this task is by being committed to the body of Christ. Within this commitment must come a fight for unity. It is the unity within the church that demonstrates the power of God. This type of commitment will bring upon suffering but God's love and His power are greater than any suffering that will come. Speaker: Ajith Fernando

The High Commitment Church vs. The Low Commitment Church (2011)
Creating a committed ethos in a church involves theology, application of truth, expectation, and making judgment calls. Ultimately, the ethos is where your theology meets your value system. The elements needed for a committed ethos include: strongly held and clear convictions, clear points and counterpoints, being relational and practical, encouragement, and honesty. Against these, there are many ethos killers to look out for. Speaker: Dennis McCallum, Pat Reeder

Working Small in a Growing Ministry (2012)
In Paul's second letter to Timothy we get a glimpse into his intimate inner circle of friends and fellow co-workers for the Lord. It is there that we learn one cannot grow an enduring ministry without working in close relationships. To have advancement in ministry it is important to find people who display a desire to love God and have their character transformed. Once God has revealed these people to us, we can model and lead through friendship. Speaker: Ben Stuart

The Functional Centrality of the Gospel (2010)
The Gospel is not just the beginning of our faith, but it is the source and core of the rest of our Christian lives. There exists a biblical paradigm that illustrates the functional centrality of the Gospel. First, there is the Gospel itself, that Jesus died for our sins, which is theologically central. If we allow it, the truths of the gospel transform our thinking. Thus by believing these gospel truths, the Gospel will bear fruit in our minds. Beyond this, as our minds are transformed, our actions and behaviors flow out of these truths, and our actions become a witness to the Gospel. From this paradigm, there are both implications and opportunities that follow. Speaker: Mike Bullmore

I Am the Resurrection (2015)
Death is inevitable for all of us. We all will experience going through the grieving process of losing a loved one. Death has the ability to derail our faith or draw us closer to God. Through Jesus' resurrection of Lazarus we find God's perspective on death. God too is outraged and in anger over death. We also learn that death on this earth is not the end for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. He has provided the resurrection of the dead giving us hope in the face of death. Speaker: Scott Risley

Cultivating a Tender Heart (2007)
In the Christian life and ministry there is a need for both toughness and tenderness, a paradox that we all face. We need toughness because Christian work is hard. We face attacks from Satan, failure, doubts, people walking away from God, criticism, and much more at times. In order to withstand this, we must learn how to draw near to God for strength. We do this so that we do not become hardened and self-protective, because Christian work involves exercising sacrificial love repeatedly and moving towards people. There are many consequences if we harden our heart in response, but also practical suggestions for how to cultivate this tender heart. Speaker: Dennis McCallum, Pat Reeder

Faithfulness in Multiplication Ministry (2012)
Faithfulness in multiplication ministry is accomplished through four means: 1) regular strengthening by God's Word; 2) peer friendships; 3) appreciating your ministry role as a privilege of God's grace; 4) build a biblically-informed focus on your eternal destination. These four things need prioritized or they will not happen. Multiplication is difficult work that takes a long time. Cultivating these will ensure faithfulness to God's call in our lives. Speaker: Gary DeLashmutt
