Breakout Sessions

Giving and Receiving Redemptive Feedback

This session, led by Christians working in diverse industries, focuses on how feedback—both giving and receiving—can reflect the grace and truth of Christ in our everyday work. We will share practical ways feedback can build trust, foster accountability, and serve to motivate growth. Whether you lead teams or are part of one, this session will equip you with insights to transform everyday workplace interactions into redemptive opportunities to honor God and serve others.


This session is led by Dr. Tina Belt.

Building Cultural Bridges at Work

Learn from a certified behavioral consultant and coach and his team with 30 years of experience who by God’s wisdom and grace have experience equipping people and multinational organizations to thrive in a complex global world.


This session is led by Marco Blankenburgh & Shelley Reinhart.

Anxieties and Stress at Work

Human brokenness coupled with heavy demands at work have fed to anxieties and stress reaching sometimes unbearable levels. Does God care? How can we view these toils and hardships as God sees them and take refuge in him? Please join us in a discussion as we share thoughts on anxieties and stress arising from work, and how we should perceive and overcome them from a biblical perspective. 

This session will be led by Samson P. Albert, Biju J. Thomas, and Gabriel Yuen.
