Turning Small Talk into God Talk - Have you ever wanted to share your faith in Jesus, but didn't know how? What do I say? What do I even look for?

Discover Your Evangelism Style – Ever struggle with sharing your faith? Maybe you have been approaching it the wrong way. God has equipped each of us with our own style. In this session you will identify your God given personal evangelism style while gaining confidence in your approach to share His life changing message.
Pastor James Buske – Lighthouse Youth Center, Milwaukee, WI
Using Apologetics in Personal Evangelism - Christians are confronted with many questions (and accusations!) about the faith and are called to give a reason (apologia) for the hope they have (1 Peter 3:15). Yet the skeptic is also confronted with questions of reality. You have to do something about this Jesus character! Who is he? Is he truly who he says he is or not? We will discuss a few ways to carry on conversations in love in order to bring the skeptic to this fundamental question: Who is this man from Nazareth?
Pastor Mike Berg – Wisconsin Lutheran College
Witnessing in the Workplace (Panel Discussion) – Many people spend a large part of their week among coworkers who need to know Jesus. Come learn from the experience of lay people who have navigated the opportunities and challenges of letting your light shine at work.

Digital Outreach – A website with good navigation and intuitive design isn't enough. Social media posts with attractive photos and snappy text won't do it.
