Hello friends. Registration is now open for next year's exiles and Babylon conference

and I cannot wait for this conference. Here's a few topics that we're going to wrestle with.

The future of the church, disability in the church, multi-ethnic perspectives on American

Christianity and a conversational debate on the problem of evil and suffering. We have

Eugene Cho, Elise Fitzpatrick, Matt Chandler, Michelle Sanchez, Justin Gibbony, Devon Stollamar,

Hardwick Lisco's on and on. Joey Dodson is going to be there. Greg Boyd and Clay Jones

are going to be engaging in this conversational debate on the problem of evil and suffering.

And of course, we have to have Ellie Bonilla and street hymns back by popular demand.

And Tanika Y. and Evan Wicken will be leading our multi-ethnic worship again. We're also

adding a pre-conference this year. So we're going to do an in-depth scholarly conversation

on the question of women and ministry featuring two scholars on each side of the issue. So

doctors, Gary Bersier's and Sydney Park are on the complementary side. And doctors, Cynthia

Long Westfall and Philip Payne on the egalitarian side. So March 23rd to 25th, 2023 here in

Boise, Idaho. We sold out last year and we'll probably sell this year again. So if you want

to come, if you want to come live, then I would register sooner than later. And you can

always attend virtually if you can't make it out to Boise in person. So all the info is

faithfulness as an act of rebellion. If you hear Josh speak, which you will in a second,
