Rebecca McLaughlin (Author of Confronting Christianity and Secular Creed)
How do you follow Jesus in environments where faith is misunderstood, questioned, or dismissed? Drawing from themes in Confronting Christianity, this session equips professionals to engage common objections to Christianity with clarity, humility, and courage in everyday workplace conversations.
-
Kerry Poucher (CEO of Patriot Docks)
In a region marked by spiritual skepticism and increasing secularization, Christian professionals have a unique opportunity to shine the light of Christ. This session examines the spiritual condition of New England, strategies for living and leading as a faithful witness in the workplace, and how to create opportunities for gospel conversations through character, excellence, and courage. Together, we will consider what it means to count the cost and embrace the mission of Christ in the marketplace. -
Jonathan Moseley (Pastor of King's Hill Church in Boston, MA)
Every vocation is an opportunity to reflect the reign of Christ. Discover a timeless biblical framework that reshapes how we lead, serve, speak, and pursue excellence in our daily work, offering a compelling vision for faithful presence in every sphere of life. -
Kara Alexander, Physician and Teacher
The needs in the world are great. Working in healthcare can bring you in contact with so much need that you can be overwhelming. The perceived importance of the work can make you feel that it rests on your shoulders. This session will focus on how as a Christ follower you can find your place in healthcare, fully embrace your God-given purpose, and release the burden of all that is not yours to carry.
Breakout Sessions
(Round 1)
-
Susan Freeman (Professor of Engineering at Northeastern)
Every classroom shapes more than minds. It also shapes culture. Through lessons, relationships, and daily practices, educators help form the values, habits, and imagination of the next generation. This session explores how Christian educators can cultivate truth, goodness, and beauty while contributing to human flourishing in their schools and communities. -
Shaun Pilay (SEND City Missionary for Boston)
Some of the greatest kingdom potential in any church sits in its pews each Sunday. God has entrusted His people with gifts, skills, influence, relationships, and resources that are meant to be deployed for His purposes in the world. This session explores a biblical vision for vocation and helps participants see how their everyday work can become a strategic avenue for advancing God's kingdom. -
David Skinner (Founding Partner of Prescott Realty Brokerage) and Julie Busby
Business leaders make decisions every day that shape people, organizations, and communities. This session explores what it looks like to follow Jesus while pursuing growth, profitability, and excellence in the marketplace. Through practical wisdom and real-world experience, we will consider how faith informs leadership, how to steward profit with purpose, how to treat employees as image-bearers, and how businesses can serve God's kingdom beyond the bottom line -
Dashawn Bristol (Pastor of Timothy Baptist Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts)
What does it look like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday morning? This breakout explores how the gospel reshapes every sphere of life, from our work and relationships to our ambitions and everyday responsibilities. Discover how Christ's lordship extends beyond the walls of the church and learn to live with a more integrated vision of faith, vocation, and discipleship.
Breakout Sessions
(Round 2)
Faith & Work 101
This four-course curriculum equips participants with a biblical vision for work rooted in God’s design, honest about brokenness, centered on Christ’s redemption, shaped by rhythms of rest, and anchored in the hope of new creation. Rather than offering career advice alone, the program forms the whole person—heart, habits, and imagination—helping participants integrate faith and work as worship and faithful presence in the world. The cost includes weekly teachings, two books, and take-home content each week.
Next Faith & Work 101 Begins: October 2026
Cost: $50
Week 1
Created for Cultivation
God created us for meaningful work as his image-bearers, showing vocation as a gift rooted in identity, not success or productivity.
Week 2
Work Under the Curse
Sin has deeply distorted our relationship to work. Discover how work is entangled with idolatry, identity, and exhaustion.
Week 3
Work Redeemed
Through Jesus, God is restoring our calling by reordering our loves and redefining faithfulness. Work is no longer a means of self-salvation.
Week 4
Work and Rest as Trust
Sabbath is not an interruption of vocation but a declaration of trust in God’s provision and sovereignty.
