The Guides
Most events and conferences talk generically about topics—they don’t tackle your real questions or concerns. The result? You remain unclear and confused, relying on the same outdated approach. Not at Q&A. We’ve brought together the leading experts on the eight most critical topics for the season ahead—and the guides to direct the conversations. Relying on their expertise, we will get to the heart of the matter fast and leave you with a renewed understanding and a confidence to lead.
Experts & Topics
Race + Justice
In a year in which we’ve felt the weight of racism and injustice, how can we be those who are part of the solution? Together, we’ll dive into questions like:
What can we learn from and what are the limits of critical race theory?
What’s the role of protest and public demonstration?
How can my church respond effectively and represent the multiethnic beauty of God’s Church?
Mental Health + Suicide
In an unprecedented season of stress, isolation and change, we’ll tackle questions like these to discover how leaders can make mental health a priority:
Why are we seeing spikes in depression, anxiety and suicide in our communities?
How can I prioritize the mental health of myself while also caring for those I lead?
What do I not currently understand about mental health and suicide?
Prayer + Revival
More than ever in our lifetimes, many pastors and leaders within the American Church are sensing a renewed need for prayer and revival. Alongside these leaders, engage questions like:
What does prayer that leads to revival look like?
What might God be doing through the cultural tensions of our current moment?
How can we be those who seek revival?
Civil Unrest + Elections
Gathering just one week after the election, we’ll engage the difficult questions facing our cities, our nation and our world—whatever the outcome.
What’s the role of a Christian leader in moments of cultural turmoil?
How can I productively engage across political and ideological lines?
What if I disagree with those in power or don’t agree with the outcome of this election?
Digital Discipleship
In a year when everything’s gone online, learn strategies for effective digital discipleship and ask your burning questions like:
What’s the future of discipleship in an isolated, digital-focused moment?
What do the adults, teens and kids in my church really need to move forward in discipleship, even when we’re not able to physically gather?
How can I cut out what doesn’t work and invest in the most effective discipleship strategies?
Gen Z
More diverse and secular than any generation that came before, we’ll discover how to best reach Generation Z with the truth of the gospel, engaging questions like:
What does Gen Z really need from the Church?
How can I step outside of my church walls to engage this new generation?
What key characteristics make Gen Z unique?
Deconstruction + Church History
At a moment when so many people are stuck in the cycle of deconstructing their faith and truth, how can we return to what Christians have always believed? Get answers to questions like:
How can I guide those who are deconstructing their faith to recover deep, biblical truths?
How can 2,000 years of church history inform our perspectives today?
What is the appropriate place for deconstruction in the Church?
Censorship + Conspiracies
