What does it look like to move beyond simply believing—and begin actively living out your faith?

Join SBC21 for a powerful conversation on FAITH, exploring four essential practices from Faith: 4 Essential Practices: Waiting. Praying. Thinking. Acting.

📅 Thursday, August 20th at 12:00 pm CST

Together, we’ll discover how to cultivate patience in seasons of waiting, pray with expectation, think beyond traditional limitations, and take courageous action that puts our faith to work in the world.

Whether you’re navigating a season of uncertainty, seeking deeper spiritual growth, or ready to take your next step, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to embrace a new level of faith.

Come ready to strengthen your faith—and put it into practice.

Juneteenth is more than a date in history—it is a reminder of the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and hope.

As we commemorate the day when the last enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom, we honor the resilience, faith, and contributions of those who came before us. Their courage continues to inspire us to build stronger communities, pursue equity, and work toward a future where all people can thrive.

As we count down to Juneteenth, SBC21 will be sharing reflections from our team and community on what Juneteenth means to us. Through these stories and perspectives, we invite you to join us in remembering the past, celebrating progress, and recommitting ourselves to the work that still lies ahead.

In the meantime, we invite you to watch this video and learn more about the history and significance of Juneteenth. Understanding our history helps us better appreciate the journey, sacrifices, and triumphs that continue to shape our communities today.

What if the real shift isn’t just around you—but within you?

Before you ever walk into the room, the posture you carry matters.
Come open.
Come ready.
Come willing to release what’s been holding you back and receive what you didn’t even know you needed.

Because this conference isn’t just about what you’ll hear…
It’s about who you’re becoming.

It’s about shifting your mindset, your perspective, and your capacity—so you can step into rooms, spaces, and environments differently.

Don’t just attend.
Prepare your heart. Prepare your mind.

Join us April 29 – May 2
Shifting the Atmosphere Conference

Your shift starts now.
