Conference Vision
Many Christians who long to fulfill Christ’s call to be “salt and light in the world” find themselves confused: intimidated by a culture that no longer operates with Biblical morality as its foundation, faced with increased and overt hostility toward Christianity, and an Emergent church movement that erroneously seeks to make itself relevant to the culture by altering the truth of the gospel. As a result, many passionate Christians have lost their voice and are often unable to find the right language by which to share saving, Biblical truth with the world around them. truthXchange seeks to reach these Christians and help them regain their voice. We believe that, by providing believers in every walk of life with a paradigm by which to analyze each aspect of culture and theology, we can equip them with a powerful evangelistic tool.
truthXchange aims to initiate this process is the new conference, Exchange: The Truth & The Lie a conference for 3500 participants scheduled to take place June 17 and 18, 2010 at the Rock Church in San Diego, Ca. Expanding the reach of the conference by tens of thousands, truthXchange is partnering with The Resurgence of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA, one of the most-visited Christian ministries online today. Using the extensive reach of The Resurgence’s websites and mailing lists, all content from the conference will also be provided online for free.
Using the perspectives of “Oneism” (all is one, all is equal, and all is divine) and “Twoism” (Creation is separate from the Creator, God is divine and rules over creation, and Christ is King over all), truthXchange will teach participants of this conference to analyze and speak effectively to the modern church and culture about issues such as worship, spiritualism, sexuality, parenting, public education, popular media, social justice, and the law while highlighting the differences between the Gospel and the Lie. Presenting these topics will be leaders in the Christian church and experts in their various fields such as Dr. Peter Jones, Mark Driscoll, Francis Chan, Kevin DeYoung, Jeff Ventrella, Joel Pelsue, Pamela Frost, and Linda Harvey. In addition to plenary sessions, participants will be invited to participate in interactive Q&A sessions with various panels of the conference speakers throughout the course of the event, followed up with times of corporate prayer and worship.
truthXchange and The Resurgence will also be facilitating in-depth interviews with all speakers at the conference, allowing Christians all over the world to look more deeply into issues about which they have personal interest. In addition participants will be given access to a Oneism & Twoism catechism, a copy of Dr. Peter Jones’ newest book on the same subject, an online copy of Mark Driscoll’s book “Doctrine” and many other online resources. truthXchange will also use the conference to begin developing smaller training sessions and centers at seminaries, churches and schools across the nation, where intensive worldview evangelism training would take place.
