The Colson Center is coming to Phoenix, Arizona for the very first Breakpoint Forum Live.

Join us on January 23rd to hear from John Stone Street, Sean McDowell and Katie Faust,

on A New Sexual Revolution, how Christians can point the way to a more human future.

The Christian view of sex is accused of being restrictive, but throughout

history, it's proven to be the life-giving antidote to the world's confusing and exhausting views of

sexual brokenness and demonstrate his life-giving design for sex and relationships. This is a free event, but space is limited.
