The Exponential Conference is world’s largest gathering of Church multiplication leaders. It’s a place where Church Planters and ministry leaders go to be encouraged in their faith, built into as ministry leaders and equipped with actionable principles, ideas, and solutions to lead their Churches and communities.
This year Exponential was back in Orlando, FL for their National Conference and the theme was “Empowered”. During this time, we grew in awareness of the Holy Spirit’s work and leadership and were encouraged that we will always be more effective if we move with the Holy Spirit. There were lots of different ministry tracks, including a new Digital/Metaverse Ministry track hosted by Jeff Reed.
With the variety of tracks, workshops and phenomenal main sessions, there was some great encouragement shared by the speakers. Here are some quotes from what was said at Exponential 2022:
