Workshop Session 1: Nuts and Bolts Proverbs for Planting
Some seminars offer innovations hot out of the oven. Others deliver fresh research from the smartest people on the planet. We don’t. We have collected a panel of stumblers and bumblers with PhD’s in “learning the hard way” at the School of Hard Knocks. For one hour, we will share a boatload of practical proverbs tested and proven in the fires for decades of church planting and dozens of new churches. Our goal: 5 years from now, you will still be using at least one proverb from our time together.
Time: Tuesday, 2:30pm — 3:30pm
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301H
Speakers: Brett Andrews, Phil Ling
