[Three 1-Hour Sessions; Additional Talk-Back Sessions Recommended]
Christianity has always been about transformation. Every day we must choose whether or not to allow change produce transformation in our lives. Furthermore, life is about change. No organism exists in any life-sustaining environment without either adapting to its context or undergoing some type of transformation during its lifespan. Author and missiologist Hans Finzel once wrote that “change is inevitable; not to change is a sure sign of imminent extinction”. Changing to meet the demands or crises of the moment ensures both sustainability and long-term effectiveness.
[Four 1-Hour Sessions]
The Cat & Dog Theology Transformational Encounter is a fast-paced presentation full of humor and Scripture that examines the heart of Christians in the 21st century. Using an illustration of "cats and dogs" and how each relates to its master, Christians are challenged to see, how like cats, they tend to use their Master mainly for getting what they want. Average Christians, though claiming to live for God, are actually living to get from birth to death in the safest, softest, easiest and most comfortable fashion possible. God is used to reach that goal and keep difficulties, trials, and tragedies away. As a high-impact experience that will drastically change life’s priorities, all Christians will be challenged to reorient themselves from a man-centered "me-ology" to a God-centered theology.

[Five-Seven Hours]
We are made in the Triune image of God—for relationship. For thousands of years, team was the unit for small-scale activity— fighting, farming, revolution, etc. During the industrial revolution, assembly machinery changed all that. This era introduced hierarchy, organizational structure, and bureaucracy, resulting in top-down people control. People were individual machines under the control of top-down leadership and management; they were utilized for maximum productivity. The problem, however, is that people are not machines. We were made to flourish in creative teams, blending our individual strengths into a mission for the glory of God.
[Three-Five Hours]
Of the more than 7 billion people alive in the world today, an estimated 3 billion live in unreached people groups with little or no access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. According to Joshua Project, there are over 16,000 unique people groups in the world—over 6000 of them considered unreached. 95% of these least reached people groups exist in an area known as the 10/40 window and less than 10% of missionary work is done among these people.

[45 Minutes]
Humanity was created in the image of God to create and cultivate—to work! A parable by Jesus echoes the original purpose of Eden, reminding us to steward well the resources entrusted to us. We must reclaim the secular as sacred—our work is worship!
[45 Minutes]
We all want to arrive in life, to count for something, to make our mark! Many of us think that significance is found in what we do…who we are…the people we know…what we accomplish in life according to our purpose, plan, and story. True significance, however, is found in joining God in His story as Moses and others have discovered.
[60 Minutes]
Our mortality stares us in the face. In Psalm 90 we're told to number our days—what does that mean? And what are some lessons we can learn through life's transitions? Ultimately, how do we finish well?
[45 Minutes]
Historian Mark Noll once noted: “The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind.” Unfortunately, there’s some real truth to that. We must consider that everything begins in the Mind—and what captures the mind will capture the Heart—and that leads to Worship—and true worship to Mission.
[45 Minutes]
Prayer is the opposite of what our flesh says is the way to get things done. We often talk about prayer and do little of it. This message is very practical and gives participants an opportunity to pray during and after the presentation. Prayer works. Prayer is work. Prayer leads to work. Prayer is the work!
[45 Minutes]
Leadership expert John Maxwell once said at a Catalyst Conference: “I want to make a difference, with people who want to make a difference, doing something that makes a difference, at a time when it makes a difference.” Everyone was designed to fulfill a purpose at the time and place allotted them during their 70+ years on the planet.
[45 Minutes]
John Piper states that “Risk is woven into the very fabric of our finite lives.” If we have one life to live, how can we make the most of it to the point of losing it?
45 Minutes
The Bible is one book comprised of sixty-six books that are all tied together by one grand theme. Various meta-narratives throughout the Bible all point toward the mega-narrative revealed in this message.
[45 Minutes]
How does one capture their life purpose and truly live a life of significance? In Isaiah's day, many visited the temple to supposedly worship but only one man saw God for Who He was and responded.
[45 Minutes]
Everyone will face suffering at some level. Our response is critical, determining the quality of our lives. The book of Job presents a classic case on the mystery of suffering in which the "why" has surprising ramifications.
