Hi, this is Nathan W Bingham, host of Renewing Your Mind, and I want to invite you to join us in

Orlando for our Ligonier National Conference. Beginning May 23rd, Christians from around the

world will gather to hear biblical teaching and enjoy fellowship together.

This year's theme is the way, the truth, and the life.

Over three days, we'll focus on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
