THANK YOU New Wine Ministry! Once again your latest conference was a homerun! The presenters, discussions and workshops were phenomenal! I’m grateful to be a part of this ministry and to continue to champion it amongst my friends, peers and church family as it speaks so deeply to my heart and challenges me to continue growing — that I may live the gospel wholistically with Christ’s sacrificial love. Thank you for ALL your hours of investment, planning, prayer and preparation. It was a powerful and humbling day and God is continuing to work in my mind and heart as I continue to reflect and process all that was shared at the conference.
Are there audio files available from this conference?
Hi Tiffany,
Not yet, but hopefully soon! Keep checking back…
I was totally challenged by the conference of the past weekend and in particular by Dr. Metzger’s workshop entitled “I am Dobson”. Being theologically conservative, my husband and I left the Presbyterian church a few years ago and joined the Baptist. . . of late we have become more and more disenchanted with their conservatism and have become self-righteously liberal or left . . . I have been building a lot of safe little boxes and cubicles and placing people, ideas and concepts in those boxes – all neat and tidy. . . . all making me feel better about my compassionate and loving “liberal” views!?!?!?! Dr. Metzger, along with other speakers at the conference, tore down the walls of those boxes forcing me to think below the surface and in a broader manner. I am no longer comfortable or self-righteous . . . and I didn’t sleep well at all Saturday night. Perhaps the saying “if you’re not going to be part of the answer, you are part of the problem” fits my current position in the church we are presently attending.
