Grab Your Earbuds and Let the Downloading Begin!

All the audio from our 2nd North American gathering, Being Truly Human: Re-Imagining the Resurrectional Life, is now available.

Over 600 leaders from all over Canada and the United States gathered two months ago at Alfred Street and Downtown Baptist Churches just outside Washington DC for 3 days of presentation and conversation around some of the most significant issues and opportunities facing the Church in our day related to our human identity and the embodied witness of the Church. As many have recounted, the discussions and relationships that developed over these days were profound and encouraging. Whether you were there or not, now is your chance to listen in on anything you might have missed or want to return to for more reflection.
