Healthy Rhythms – Dallas & Leah Beutler
Our lives have some type of rhythm… whether intentional or not. And like many areas that take intention to be healthy, our rhythms are one of those areas. Leah and Dallas will share some of their ongoing journey of moving from unhealthy to healthy rhythms, which has affected their individual, relational, spiritual, and leadership lives. They will touch on themes like Sabbath, sabbatical, serving, silence and solitude, and Scripture.

Healthy teams don’t happen by accident. This workshop will explore practical principles for building trust, navigating differences, communicating well, and creating a healthy team culture where people can grow, contribute, and lead together effectively.
Cultivating Kingdom Creativity – Eileen Krahn
True biblical creativity isn’t about mastering external techniques—it’s the natural overflow of a heart transformed by Christ.
