Hello, BRN Family! It’s good to be with you today.

I believe there has never been a better time to be bold. This year’s Accelerate Conference is being designed to help you do just that!

The 2025 Accelerate Conference will feature the theme, “Bold Move.” Dr. Jeff Iorg, CEO/president of the SBC Executive Committee; Tom Dawson, senior pastor of SOAR Church, Woodbine, N.J., and I will serve as the keynote speakers. In addition, there will be breakout session options that will challenge BRN churches and pastors to take bold moves for God’s Kingdom.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at Accelerate on October 7 at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel, 4650 Lindle Road in Harrisburg.

Please plan now to set aside a day to be inspired and equipped in the face of a challenging culture, incredible opportunity, and a faithful God. Learn more at acceleratepasj.com. Thank you so much for listening in today, and I hope to see you at Accelerate on October 7.
