Dear friends,

In this season of pursuing deeper intimacy with the Holy Spirit, I'm reminded of how God invites us to flourish in the gifts He's lavished on His church—not as mere add-ons to our faith, but as vital expressions of His heart for empowerment and unity. That's why I'm thrilled to be joining The Remnant Radio for RemCon Spring 2026: "Growing in the Gifts," happening February 5-7 at Foothills Christian Church in beautiful San Diego, California. This conference is a rare blend of solid biblical theology and genuine Spirit-led activation, designed for those of us who long to steward our gifts responsibly, without the extremes that can distract from the gospel.

I'll be speaking at two sessions that get to the core of what it means to embrace spiritual gifts today. First, "Why the Gifts? God's Heart Beyond the Gifts" will unpack the profound passion in Scripture for why God equips His people with these abilities—not for show, but to reveal His love and advance His kingdom in our midst. We'll explore passages like 1 Corinthians 12-14 and Ephesians 4, seeing how gifts flow from God's character and draw us closer to Him. Then, in "The History of Spiritual Gifts," we'll trace their thread through church history, from the early fathers to the Reformation and beyond, learning lessons that guard against misuse while opening doors to fresh encounters with the Holy Spirit. My aim is simple: to equip you with truth that honors the Word and invites the Spirit's movement in your life and church.

You're in great company at this event. Alongside me will be Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller from The Remnant Radio, bringing their passion for balanced charismatic faith and practical insights on ministry; and rising voice JonMark Baker from the Minor Prophets, who will share on "Introduction to Prophecy." Expect powerful worship, prayer ministry in a safe environment, and opportunities for activation— all grounded in Scripture to foster real growth, not hype. Whether you're a pastor equipping your team, a layperson discovering your calling, or someone hungry for theological depth paired with Spirit empowerment, this is a space to connect with like-minded believers.

RemCon offers in-person attendance for those who can travel to San Diego (seating is limited, so don't delay!), plus a livestream option to join from anywhere. Early-bird pricing is available now, and you can save an additional $30 per ticket with the access code SAMSTORMS—valid through December 31. Groups of 10 or more (perfect for churches or small groups) get another 10% off, making it easier to come together.

If you've ever wrestled with questions about spiritual gifts—how to pursue them biblically, what history teaches us, or simply how to step out in faith—this conference could be a turning point. Let's grow together in what God has for us. Registration is open at www.theremnantradio.com/remnant-conference-spring-2026. I hope to see you there, either in person or online.

In Christ's grace,
