Featured talks and workshops:
This keynote will explore how media influences children's desires and parental decisions, revealing strategies to maintain core values in a consumer-driven world. You are a digital disciple! Advertisers spend billions to influence a child’s choices when it comes to food, toys, fashion and more, but there are ways to counteract this spell. Strategies for critical media consumption effectively navigate the overwhelming influence of marketing, because what we consume shapes who we become.
Rediscover listening as a spiritual discipline (listening insward)
This keynote offers a look at what we listen to in our noisy culture without discernment in faith, and asks, what am I taking in? Today’s digital environment is loud, fast, and formational. This keynote helps leaders, families, and faith communities understand how media shapes attention, identity, and relationships—and what we can do about it. Through engaging stories and practical tools, participants will learn how to listen more intentionally, discern truth, and cultivate healthier patterns of media use that support spiritual well-being and the common good.
Learn how to put that listening into practice in everyday digital life (listening outward)
Media is not neutral. It forms how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and God. Christians must learn to engage media with spiritual awareness so that our identity is shaped by Christ rather than by algorithms. We are being formed every day by the media we consume. This keynote moves beyond awareness to action, helping participants develop practical strategies for navigating digital life with faith and intention. Through real-life examples and accessible tools, audiences will learn how to set boundaries, cultivate discernment, and align their media habits with their deepest values—so that their daily lives reflect Christ in a media-shaped world for the common good.
In a world filled with constant noise, competing voices, and endless information, how do we recognize the voice of God? This keynote invites participants to rediscover the foundational practice of listening upward—attuning our hearts to God as the source of truth, wisdom, and identity.
Rev. Dr. Robin Blair guides audiences in understanding how Scripture, prayer, and spiritual attentiveness help us discern God’s voice amid distraction. As we learn to listen upward, we become more grounded, more discerning, and more able to live faithfully in every area of life—for the common good.
In a world where our thumbs scroll endlessly, our souls can quietly starve. The Scrolling Soul is a powerful keynote that equips participants to navigate the endless stream of media with wisdom, faith, and purpose using practical, faith-based tools for making wise media choices.
This is more than choosing “safe” media; it’s about cultivating intentional purpose that reflect the Fruits of the Spirit in every digital engagement.
