Exponential Orlando 2023
March 6-9, 2023
We need to revive evangelism in our churches. Come learn with us.
Lost Cause: Reviving Evangelism
We have a problem! Evangelism has become a taboo word and confusion about evangelism has left the church with a lackluster approach to reaching the lost.
There is a solution! We must be about the mission of Jesus: “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). That means we must revive evangelism. A church with a culture of evangelism will hold the Biblical values of evangelism, share the compelling narratives of evangelism, and live out the white-hot faith behaviors of an evangelistic church.

Our God doesn’t see the world as a lost cause. He is relentlessly committed to restoring a broken relationship with each of us. Romans 5:8 tells us that “God demonstrates his own love for us in this, while we were still sinners Christ died for us.”
Our commitment to the cause begins when we make it personal. We are all lost people. When we let that truth motivate us, we can’t help but be passionate about reaching people far from God.

Beyond Rhetoric to Results: Building a Healthy Multiethnic, Just, Intelligent, and Sustainable Church – Hosted by Mosaix Global Network
It’s been said (even prior to the pandemic) that most pastors today are only managing decline. Such a statement (whether true or not) calls attention to declining attendance, public interest, giving, budgets, and more, today challenging pastors and planters seeking to launch a church or (in existing churches) to advance mission, avoid layoffs, and keep the doors open. Where true, the statement likely describes leaders (vocational and lay) chasing 20th century metrics in the 21st.
The Bible tells us that the men of Issachar understood the times and knew what was good for Israel to do, (1 Chronicles 12:32). This assumes that a) times do change and b) leaders correctly discern the moment in order to make good decisions for their organizations with the future in mind.
In this pre-conference hosted by the Mosaix Global Network, you will learn from proven, forward-thinking guides that will share the why, how, and what of disruptive innovation as a model for 21st century church planting, growth, and development. Whether your congregation is currently growing, plateauing, or declining or you are a church planter, pastor, denominational or network leader, this pre-conference will provide you with the understanding, language, and tools needed to challenge conventional wisdom, promote promising new practices, and bring others onboard even in uncertain times and those that surely lie ahead.
Speakers: Mark DeYmaz, Santes Beatty, Mont Mitchell, Naeem Fazal, Kristin Mockler-Young

Discipleship, Jesus, and the Gospel – Hosted by Renew.org
The pre-conference will explore the practical theological foundations of disciple making. Certain kinds of disciples will be created by the Jesus we preach, the gospel we uphold, and the faith we coach. What does it mean for Jesus to be the King of a kingdom? What does it mean to believe a Gospel that focuses not just on the cross, but the exaltation of Jesus and his return? What faith is saving faith and how do we disciple people into faithful faith.
Speakers: Bobby Harrington, Jim Putman, Carl Williamson, Alicia Williamson, Paul Huygebaert
Effectively Using Digital for Your Church – Hosted by Leadership Network
The most common way churches utilize digital technology (broadcasting online services) is also the least effective way for churches to meet, engage, and disciple people in digital communities.
Through this Leadership Network Pre-Conference, we will discuss more intentional (and more effective) approaches to using digital, including church planting, digital discipleship, digital evangelism, and how digital built into your church’s strategy will allow your church to easily scale and multiply.
Come to Leadership Network’s digital track, and learn how to more effectively use this tool in your church.
Speakers: Mark Lutz, Jason Moore, Anne Bosarge, Tyler Sansom, John Harris, Chestly Lunday, Jeff Reed
Emotionally Healthy Discipleship – Hosted by Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
Is it possible for mission and health to go together? What if health could be the pathway toward more effective mission? This Pre-Conference will explore themes of how to engage in transformational discipleship that goes beneath the surface of peoples’ lives. Among the themes we will explore (with practical tools) include:
- A Theological Framework for Emotionally Healthy Discipleship – how and why God invites us into the emotional areas of our lives and how it can be transformational when we address these areas.
- Going Back In Order to Go Forward – breaking free from the power of the past by the power of the gospel so that people can be set free.
- Slowing Down to Lead Out of a Thriving Relationship with God – crafting practices and rhythms that keep us rooted in Christ in the midst of leadership.
Speaker: Drew Hyun
