Thanks for coming to Unbelievable? The Conference 2022 has taken place.

Look out for the Digital Download of the conference being made available soon.

We are living through uncertain and divided times, filled with

ideological wars, skepticism, Covid and cancel culture.

Many Christians feel nervous about speaking up.

How can you speak into our confused culture with grace and truth?

It’s time to take God 'off mute’ and find your authentic voice again.

At this year’s conference, hosted by Justin Brierley, live from the British Library in London, leading thinkers, evangelists and theologians from across the world will help Christians learn how to be a confident voice and faithful witness to Christ.

The conference comprises four main sessions, each with its own theme:

Session 1: Finding our voice: 2pm BST / 9am Eastern / 6am Pacific
Main talk: Why Christ alone can win the culture wars - Glen Scrivener

Session 2: Speaking Life: 4pm BST / 11am Eastern / 8am Pacific
