Session 01
Relationships as Essential
Josh Philpot
This year's theme
Renewal in our relationships
Our relationships aren’t incidental to who God calls us to be. They are integral to our spiritual formation and maturity.
Across five sessions, we’ll explore God’s purpose for human relationship: why relationships are essential, how they transform us, what they reveal, and why they call for intentionality, faithfulness, and responsibility.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…Romans 12:1–2
