Nancy King, LCPC, NCC

LGM Board Member; Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with extensive experience counseling individuals and couples.

Summary

In this seminar, Nancy will provide both the theoretical framework and the practical skills necessary for facilitating engagement between two deeply conflicted people—a recurring challenge for pastors and ministry leaders. This seminar equips pastors with:

• A clear paradigm for understanding how “intractable conflicts” form and why typical interventions fail.

• Skills for guiding two hostile or shut-down individuals into constructive engagement.

• Pastoral strategies rooted in emotional regulation, reflective listening, and structured mediation.

Pastors will leave with a set of actionable techniques for navigating high-intensity conflict with wisdom, clarity, and confidence.

Rev. Dr. Bill Fullilove

​​Dean of Students, Reformed Theological Seminary NYC; specialist in workplace theology and the integration of faith and economics

​​Summary

​​Bill Fullilove’s seminar provides a comprehensive framework for shepherding congregants whose daily lives are shaped primarily by their vocations. Drawing on biblical theology, vocational psychology, and years of urban pastoral experience, Bill will:

• ​​Offer a theology of work rooted in creation, fall, and redemption.

• ​​Provide pastoral tools for counseling congregants struggling with vocation, burnout, ambition, identity, and ethical dilemmas.

• ​​Show how to preach and teach in ways that integrate the gospel with the real pressures of corporate, creative, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial environments.

• ​​Equip pastors to disciple workers across industries—from finance to the arts—so that they see their labor as participation in God’s renewing work.

​​Participants will leave with practical ways to make “faith & work” a living part of their church’s pastoral ministry, not merely a program.

Rev. Brad Edwards

​​Lead Pastor, The Table; Christianity Today Book of the Year Award recipient; writer and speaker on ecclesiology, cultural fragmentation, and spiritual formation; co-host of the PostEverything podcast. 

​​Summary

​​Brad Edwards addresses one of the most pressing questions for contemporary ministry: Why the church? In a cultural moment defined by isolation, polarization, and the collapse of institutional trust, Brad argues that the local church—far from being optional—provides the very communal, sacramental, and relational resources needed for human flourishing. This seminar explores:

• ​​A theological vision for the church as Christ’s embodied presence in the world.

• ​​The cultural forces (anxiety, individualism, digital fragmentation) that undermine belonging.

• ​​How pastors can cultivate genuine community, deep formation, and mission in a disintegrating age.

• ​​Insights for helping disillusioned, de-churched, or skeptical people rediscover the meaning and necessity of the Body of Christ.

​​Pastors will gain language and imagination for casting a compelling vision of why the church still matters profoundly today.
