Pre-Conference Session


Those Who Tell The Stories Will Change the World

After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are what we need most. Story captivates your audiences and makes your writing a page turner. Nothing connects with audiences and readers like story. Jesus understood this idea and taught his most important lessons in parable form. In this pre-conference class, master storyteller Karen Porter will teach you how to craft a story and use language, vocalization, body language, narrative, and style to make the story great. You can learn the methods and techniques to use story in ways you never dreamed. Inside you is a storyteller, waiting to be released!

Keynote Speaker


God’s Not Done With You

Our greatest weaknesses come when we think about giving up. If you’ve ever felt you should retire or take a back seat or quit, Karen Porter has good news for you. God has plans for you, and he made you stronger than anything that can happen to you. Your broken dream may just be the stair step to even greater achievements for you and the impact you have on next generation.
