Lagoon : The Watchtower and the Divine Name. In this workshop, Steve Lagoon considers the Watchtower’s claims related to the Divine name. Steve will critique each of the many claims that Jehovah’s Witnesses make about the use of Jehovah. Steve will show that the Watchtower’s claims are really a house of cards with very little foundation to support them.
McKeever : Latter-day Saints. Details to be announced
Honsberger : Details to be announced
Workshop #2 – Friday, 6:30-7:30 PM
| Room | Speaker | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Steve Matthews | International Churches of Christ |
| 2 | Shanda Fulbright | Authentic and Apostate Discipleship: Somebody’s Disciple |
| 3 | Ivani Greppi | Addressing the Demon in the Room: Demonic Deliverance in Christianity |

Matthews : The International Churches of Christ. Founded by Chuck Lucas and Kip McKean in Gainsville and formerly known as the Crossroads Church of Christ, the Boston Church of Christ, the Boston Movement, and the International Christian Churches, this is a restorationist, shepherding group of churches following the teachings of 19th-century “Restorationists” Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone, who thought they were restoring principles required for the true church. (The Church of Christ and the Mormon churches came out of this movement.) The ICOC teaches that water baptism is absolutely necessary for salvation and denies the doctrine of original sin as an unbiblical, denominational heresy.
Fulbright : Authentic and Apostate Discipleship. The Great Commission instructs all Christians to go and make disciples of all nations. But is the church making disciples? Worldview formation is just a fancy way to say discipleship. But here’s the thing: discipleship is not isolated to Christianity. That means people can be discipled by false teachers, and most in the church have a syncretized worldview, meaning they are somebody’s disciple but they’re not disciples of Christianity. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the three components of ANY discipleship program and why recognizing apostacy in the church is imperative for proper discipleship. We’ll use one of the most effective discipleship programs in history as our guide to prove that we are all somebody’s disciple: Ancient Babylon from Daniel, chapter 1.
Greppi : Addressing the Demon in the Room. This workshop will focus on the topic of demonic deliverance in Christianity today. The polarizing perspectives ranging from those who attribute every adversity to Satan, to those who completely reject the existence of demons and the supernatural will be discussed within the context of the Scriptures.

Carneal : From Queer to Christ. Sharing my testimony of how I got into the homosexual lifestyle and what God did to get me out of that bondage. Time permitting, I will share the reality of the homosexual lifestyle, the lies of the liberal theologians, what the public is not being told regarding cross-sex hormones and cross-sex surgeries, and why we must share the truth of God’s Word, in love.

Wolcott : The Enneagram as Worship: Fifty Shades of Spiritual Formation.
