A time to restore your soul. A time for reflection. A time to dial back into a posture of praise for the Creator of the Universe. A time to remember Jesus.
The four SOUL Sessions are main stage experiences for everyone attending the event. Comprised of worship music and an inspiring message, these sessions are offered to recalibrate your spirit in hopes of bringing you and your entire team to a place of surrender and openness.
SOUL Session 1: Calling
Erwin McManus, Jason Hildebrand and Jon Buller

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. I do not offer myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do; forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus - The Apostle Paul
