Teaching from 2 Corinthians 5, Phil reminds us that the mission has never changed: we are ambassadors for Christ, entrusted with the gospel and called to make disciples. But while the message remains the same, our methods must be willing to adapt as we seek to reach different cultures, communities, and generations.

Phil reflects on the history of Calvary Chapel, the importance of passing the baton forward to the next generation, and what it looks like to honor what God has done in the past while remaining attentive to what He wants to do today.

How can we remain rooted in the truth of the gospel while faithfully engaging an ever-changing world? And what could God do through a movement committed to being the Church in the world for such a time as this?

In this session from the CGN International Leadership Conference, Pastor and author Heath Hardesty explores the idea that we are living in an “age of disintegration” and points to the hope found in Colossians 1: “In Him all things hold together.”

Heath unpacks how apprenticeship to Jesus forms us into whole, integrated people through union with Christ, abiding in Him, obedience, and becoming more like our Master. He also challenges the Church to resist the fragmented patterns of our culture by becoming a people shaped by the coherent story of Scripture and a witness that holds together beauty, goodness, and truth.

The session concludes with a conversation with Brian Brodersen about All Things Together, discipleship, spiritual formation, and practical rhythms for cultivating a life with Jesus.

In a fragmented world, the Church has an opportunity to reflect a different way of living—not because we can hold everything together ourselves, but because we belong to the One in whom all things hold together.
