Transformation During Lent

Conspire 2017: Journey of Transformation A Webcast Series Replayed During Lent

Transformation demands immense humility and honesty rather than zeal or purity. Facing our shadow is a breakthrough to grace and mercy. Embracing the parts we have denied also reveals a “golden shadow”—our goodness, giftedness and generosity.

Join us during Lent for this series of videos from last year’s Conspire conference, presented by Center for Action and Contemplation and replayed at Stillpoint.
