In light of all the misinformation surrounding the LGBT+ issue today in society and in the church, this series is designed to Inspire the Church with testimonies of victory over sin, Enlighten the Church and educate the church with biblical and scientific truths regarding the same issue, and to Equip the Church through these avenues and with resources to relate to this issue through compassion without compromise and with the focus on redemption rather than affirmation. God forbid that we be found with a form of godliness, denying the power thereof!!

Speaker: Michael Carducci
A keynote presentation about the identity of transgenderism in our culture and how to relate and redeem all types of identity in the church. We will discuss the reality of the transgender movement on the church and also to talk redemptively about an issue that needs a biblical perspective that is radical and loving. A real eye opener of the subject of love and truth combined. Michael also includes his testimony of gender confusion and how his journey was affected by it.
Speaker: Ron Woolsey
Having lived many years in the LGBT community in his youth, Ron was labeled even by pastors as “unchangeable” and viewed as “unreachable.” In this presentation Pastor Ron shares his personal testimony so that others may know that “nothing is impossible with God…,” declaring that He specializes in reaching the “unreachable,” and changing the “unchangeable.” and contending that our God “is mighty to save,” the "whosoevers," from "whatsoever," even "to the uttermost.”
Speaker: Michael Carducci
This 5 day keynote presentation is designed for the elementary age (4-11) children that are needing a safe definition of identity and sexuality in a world that is saturated in confusion. Without being educational or explicit in sexual behavior Michael shares God’s intention of identity and sexuality through the creation experience and also through the stories of Noah, Jacob and Revelation. Utilizing the rainbow to share God’s original definition of His love and protection for His creation.
Speaker: Ron Woolsey
The church today, along with society in general, is mired down in the myths surrounding the LGBT+ issue. Hobbled by misinformation and propaganda, Christians are confused as how to relate to the LGBT+ community and remain faithful to Christian principles. The church is being pressured to shift its posture from a Scriptural stance to an affirming cultural position, compromising away the power of God to save from sin. In this context, this presentation is designed to inspire, enlighten, and equip the church for a compassionate yet non-compromising and redemptive approach to the issue.
