A Letter from the Shadow of the Gallows
Conference Prayer Warriors
Join Us in a Prayer Campaign!
We’re looking for intercessory prayer warriors who will lift up the pastors attending the Fire in Our Bones conferences in 2023. If you want to become one of our prayer warriors, sign up and then start lifting up these three prayer points:
1. Pray that pastors will be increasingly seeking God’s will and heart.
2. Pray that pastors will be set free from discouragement and besetting sins.
3. Pray that the Spirit will begin to move powerfully within the church again.
But We Preach Christ
How do we live our lives in such a way that when we share the Word of God, we speak with the wisdom and power of the Spirit? Gary Wilkerson breaks down how we cultivate a heart that listens to the Spirit's directions. A ministry that is built around the Lord's Word alone will have a unique fire and life at its center.
Spiritual Leaders Risk It All
Believers and spiritual leaders are called to risk everything to make a difference in the world. John Bailey talks about the incredible, wild life that the Great Commission summons us into as we obey Christ's command. The cost of living this way, though, can be high and turn the world against us.
Be on the Right Side of History
Every generation has its own unique questions that the gospel can address if church leaders are sensitive to the spiritual needs of their people. In this session, Tim Dilena explores how the church can avoid getting caught in cultural movements and miss the chance to minister to people's real spiritual needs.
Where Are the Magic Bricks?
Have you ever stepped out in faith to follow God's will only to feel like God didn’t go with you? In this session, Tim Dilena discusses what we should do when the first step of obedience feels like we made a mistake. God is teaching us how to get back up and keep going after we've been knocked down following the Lord's call.
The Church Is Dead, Long Live the Church
Over 80 percent of the unchurched have a believer in their life whom they trust. The popular saying that actions speak louder than words in evangelism is false; actions speak before words. Barry Meguiar points out that God has uniquely placed us to boldly share the gospel with others.
Spiritual Leadership
Church leaders in America are increasingly operating in a culture like what Daniel experienced in Babylon. They are facing pressure to succumb to social expectations and demands for entertainment. In this session, John Bailey discusses how believers and pastors in particular can find the strength to stand strong against the world.
The Great Struggle of a Faithful Shepherd
Every leader in the church will struggle and face conflict in order to lead well and teach the scriptures faithfully. Gary Wilkerson talks about the right mentality that makes a truly victorious, faithful pastor. This success may not look like it to the world, but it does in heaven.
