What is the basic idea of "Renew"?

I am so excited for this event!  I know that as we come together with open hearts, with minds ready to teach and learn that we will each have our own unique experiences and come away with renewed personal vision and strength for future circumstances.

And we need each of you to make that happen!
We need each of you and your own glorious set of experiences and perspective...coupled with a willingness to share.

Each day we will explore a different area of impact:

Day 1: What is true happiness?  How do we attain it?
Day 2: What is freedom?  What does it take to maximize personal agency?
Day 3: What role does work play in our lives and in society?
Day 4: How does God and our relationship with Him affect our lives and the lives of those around us?
Day 5: What kind of leaders do we need to have and become to help sustain our conclusions of the previous four areas of impact?
Day 6: What kind of society do we need to accomplish the same, be it in our homes or communities?
Day 7: What can I do to make all this happen?

Through simulations, activities, reflections, field trips, discussions and presentations we will teach and learn from each other what we have discovered for ourselves about each of these areas.  So amazing, right?

The conference will unfold throughout the year as we all contribute to its content, uniquely preparing ourselves through inspiration for a week of impact as we share our journeys and understanding with each other.
