FRIDAY
Main Auditorium
Dealing With Disappointment Without Losing Your Faith
When life doesn't go the way you prayed it would — how do you keep showing up in faith? This honest convo tackles real setbacks, shattered expectations, and the spiritual grit to keep believing when hope feels messy and uncertain.
Studio 1
Keeping Your Marriage Hot & Holy
Let's talk about romance, real life, and what it looks like to build a marriage that's full of passion and presence. Raw, practical, and a little spicy — this one's for the couples who want to keep the fire alive.
Studio 2
Wealth God's Way
How do we steward money without being mastered by it? This session is all about Kingdom finance — generosity, wisdom, legacy, and what it looks like to live open-handed in a closed-fisted world.
SATURDAY
Main Auditorium
Hearing God's Voice
You can hear Him. This session explores how to tune into the voice of the Holy Spirit — in leadership, in prayer, and in the middle of everyday life. Practical, prophetic, and powerful.
Studio 1
Navigating Hot Cultural Topics
How do we stand in truth without losing grace? This session dives into the bold, wise, and Spirit-led approach to conversations around identity, culture, and faith in a polarized world.
Studio 2
Raising My Kids to Love Jesus
Parenting isn't just survival — it's discipleship. This conversation unpacks what it means to raise faith-filled kids in a noisy world, with honesty, humour, and a whole lot of grace.

Now a movement of 500+ churches in 60 countries, Ps Phil & Chris serve as Pastors Emeritus at C3 SYD and, as Founders and Leaders of C3 Church Global, spend most of their time with the growing C3 family.

They lead with a strong emphasis on discipleship and developing leaders. Their heart is to see the local church expand and multiply across the nation of Canada. Nothing is a higher priority to them than seeing souls won for Christ.
