The Issachar Initiative Conference will be significant as we bring together a multicultural, trans-generational group of pastoral leaders and academic scholars to seek to discern the signs of the times, know the times, and discern between trends that deviate from, and trends that tend toward truth. We don’t live in the past, we live out of the past by leaning on Jesus and lean into the future by pressing to the mark of the prize of our high calling in Him. It is time to see beyond ourselves to what God is up to and where Jesus is going in the Church and in the world!
