“5 Keys to Reboot Anything"

OCTOBER 27 | 7 PM

Are you feeling stuck? Do you need help finding a new way forward? Maybe the answer is to quit. There is a principle in creation: new life requires something to die. The seed falls to the ground and dies to become the new plant. Old habits have to die, to make room for new habits. Sometimes, the only way forward begins with a full stop, stepping back, and re-starting. In this workshop, go deeper into the process of rebooting anything.

“Front Porch Discipleship”

OCTOBER 28 | 1:45 PM

Have you ever wondered how we can take the message of the Gospel beyond the walls of our churches and into our neighborhoods? What if our front porch, our block, or our stoop became a place where people could encounter the love and truth of Christ? Jesus was known as a friend of sinners not just because he talked about sinners, but because he spent time with them. Front porch discipleship is about finding practical ways to connect with our neighbors and share the Gospel in a way that feels natural and authentic. Join Will Henderson on the porch as we explore what it means to be a disciple-maker in our own communities.

Chad Jones is most known as an American rapper and one of the founding members of RMG alongside Derek Minor, Canon, and Tony Tillman. His debut with Reflection Music, Keep Up, was his breakthrough release on the Billboard charts, and has amassed more than half a million streams.

This relationship became the inspiration for the founding of the The Edge Urban Fellowship where countless others have been impacted for Christ. Chad was recruited to Memphis, TN in to build discipleship communities by Lecrae and BJ Thompson in 2008. Chad Jones now resides in Atlanta, GA where he is a father, husband, artist, business owner and pastor.
