Here is the last (but certainly not least) plenary talk from our 2016 conference in San Diego. Clark Fobes asked the following question: what makes us as ministers – what makes our ministries – commendable? Is it our teaching, our preaching, our likeability? Or is it something else?

Clark Fobes is a youth pastor at Sunset Church in San Francisco and member of the Steering Committee at Rooted Ministry.

Don’t build your ministry on fun and games, but don’t be afraid to utilize them in order to build a gospel-centered community. In the Christian life, there is a time for study, and a time for laughter – and that should be reflected in the rhythm of our ministries to students. Mike McGarry discusses the unintentional ways that fun can become the functional-purpose of our youth group, while recognizing that it is also not the enemy. Instead, we can leverage fun and games to break down walls, tear down cliques, and create a welcoming community where we have cultivated trust by the time our students hear the gospel proclaimed.

This workshop focuses on four categories of blindspots and how they impede racial reconciliation. James Sutton – pastor at Holy Trinity World Outreach in Birmingham, AL – outlines steps to overcome the blindspots and work towards reconciliation.

More Iranians have become Christians in the past two decades than the previous 1,300 years combined. This workshop looks at the powerful way the gospel is at work in the Iran region. It also explores how the story of Iran’s church can inform our ministries here in the United States – particularly in loving those we have been taught to fear and hate.
