All Pastors Conference 2026 – A Patient Endeavor: The Witness of Ordinary Faithfulness Playlist
**To view all videos from this conference, click on the upper right corner of the image above and choose from the playlist**
We follow Jesus one step at a time. This pattern of walking after the Lord is often lived out in the mundane, in daily lives that are unremarkable—except that they are transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Despite this, we often desire or believe we need something more than the ordinary lives and vocations to which God has called us. But Jesus has brought us to the Father and made us alive in the Spirit already. Join us as we consider what it looks like to live and tell of the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15), even in our everyday discipleship.
