National Conversations in 2026
Let's talk about it!

We want to talk about the challenges pastors are navigating today with their personal finances, managing their churches, leading their communities, and emotionally trying to balance the pressure of it all!​

If there's a particular topic related to these areas that you think we should talk about, let us know!
