BREAKOUT SESSIONS, Part 1 Ballot Collection (Empire Room) In states where the practice is permitted, individuals and churches can engage in “ballot harvesting.” Learn how to legally collect ballots in your state to help those with conservative values win elections. This workshop provides guidance for people as well as a handbook for churches. Your Role in Identifying Our Next Supreme Court Justices (Congressional Room) Join AFA Action’s Center for Judicial Renewal team as they discuss who should be the next Supreme Court nominee. The Center for Judicial Renewal is strategically restoring the Judiciary to its proper role of deciding cases under the law rather than legislating from the bench. Prepare to Stand (Palladian Room) In October 2016, Pastor Andrew Brunson was falsely accused of terrorism and held for two years in Turkish prisons. Following a worldwide prayer movement and significant political pressure from the U.S. government, he was released in October 2018. Since then, Andrew has felt an urgency for Christians in the West to prepare for a coming wave of hostility. Join Andrew for a conversation as he shares some of the important things he learned in prison that helped him to stand faithful. Changing the Culture through the Local Church (Executive Room) The Great Commission stands as our calling from Jesus to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. In this session, Richard Harris and Alex McFarland will be discussing strategies for fulfilling the Great Commission through education and cultural engagement. They will discuss 7 keys to resetting our understanding of the Great Commission, including myths that hinder, how the five-fold ministry equips the church, and more. |

BREAKOUT SESSIONS, Part 2 Equipping America for Christ (Empire Room) Together, we can change America by the power of the Gospel and with the help of the Holy Spirit! Join Evangelism Explosion International and the Center for Christian Statesmanship to learn how to bolster your Christian witness in your church as well as in the areas of leadership, politics, and government. Let’s faithfully engage the culture together! The 2024 Election Map (Palladian Room) Every election cycle is important. However, in recent years the pillars of our nation—faith, family, and freedom—have come under attack like never before. Next year voters will line the sidewalks at precincts around the country to choose who controls, not just the White House, but Congress, state houses, school boards, and more. Family Research Council Action will host an insightful panel where we will discuss which races are the ones to watch next year. Join us to find out more! Restoring Faith in America: Opening the Door to Fearless Expressions of Faith (Executive Room) Last year’s Coach Kennedy decision by the Supreme Court threw out the convoluted Lemon Test that the Court had used for decades to inhibit or prohibit public displays of religion. With the Lemon Test gone, there is a unique and exciting opportunity to restore faith in America and to go on the offense. The law has returned to our side. Americans can now enjoy higher levels of religious freedom than we’ve had in generations. This breakout session will teach YOU what you can do to Restore Faith in America. Parents and Policy: The Perfect Team to Stop the Sexualization of Our Children (Congressional Room) From drugs and invasive “gender transition” surgeries on children to sexualized content in children’s libraries, to government officials cutting parents out of the picture, the threat to children’s innocence is greater than ever. Thankfully, parents and policy leaders across the nation are proving they can stand in the gap for children—and win. Together, we will explore how parents and socially conservative policymakers can win the fight to protect children, strategize fresh ideas to combat the Left’s attacks on children’s innocence, and identify new and growing threats. We envision a nation where there are no more lies that children can be “born in the wrong body,” no more drag queen story hours and no more children taken from their parents’ protective care for political reasons. We hope you will join us! |
