About the Conference

Join us for God Stories: Telling Your Story for His Glory, a one-day conference and interactive workshop designed to help you recognize God's faithfulness in your own life and learn how to naturally share your testimony in everyday conversations. Our experiences of joy, loss, failure, forgiveness, hope, and restoration all shape who we are. Through Christ, those experiences become more than stories—they become testimonies. Whether you're sharing how God proved faithful in the past or demonstrating trust in a story that is still unfolding, your life can point others to Jesus. Every chapter of your story offers an opportunity for people to see His glory.

Featured Guests

F. Scott Manke, Executive Director and Senior Pastor of Redemption Church in Chicago, and Dr. Samuel Naaman, Professor of Intercultural Studies at Moody Bible Institute, will encourage and equip attendees through authentic stories that demonstrate God's faithfulness in their own lives and ministries. Together, they'll explore how God uses ordinary people and their unique stories to point to Christ. Throughout the day, you'll hear life-changing stories of God's faithfulness while discovering where He is in your own life experiences as well. You will then have the opportunity to reflect on and share those stories in a workshop designed to help you recognize God's work in your life, communicate your testimony with authenticity, and engage others in natural, Gospel-centered conversations.
