We are so grateful to have been able to host the 2022 Workmatters Conference. Our team witnessed hundreds of Christian leaders be inspired, equipped, and transformed in their work.
As you consider investing in an access pass to watch the conference on-demand, remember that transformation is at the heart of God’s work in us and through us. The pattern of the world is confusion, uncertainty, and division. But as transformed people we will bring direction, clarity, light, and life to those around us.
As a leader of faith, you are part of God’s plan to bring about transformation. That transformation starts with you – in your heart, your mind, your habits, your work.
