Ken Nabi
Whole-Person Discipleship: Following Christ Through Emotional and Spiritual Complexity
Breakout Sessions 1 and 2
About the Session
Human beings—created in the image of God—are an inseparable blend of emotional, spiritual, and physical realities. Our experiences, especially trauma and hardship, profoundly shape how we think, feel, and respond to the world. In this breakout session, we will survey the life of Joseph, exploring how God worked through profound family dysfunction and personal suffering to accomplish His redemptive purposes. Joseph’s story reveals that the path of obedience is seldom linear or easy, yet followers of Christ can learn to face life’s challenges with resilience, clarity, and a Spirit-formed awareness. Participants will leave equipped to walk confidently with Christ in the midst of emotional complexity and real-world difficulty.

Wounded Culture Wounding Women: Hope for healing both
Breakout Sessions 1 and 3
About the Session
Popular culture claims that to be pro-woman is to be pro-abortion. That couldn’t be further from the truth. A hidden and seldom mentioned trauma happens in the aftermath, and apart from Christ the wounds cannot be healed. Leaning into Isaiah 61 Cindy will share her testimony discovering freedom from the guilt, shame, and trauma of abortion while also sharing the truth about God’s forgiving and redeeming power. Woundedness has many faces, Christ is the answer to all. Come to find healing, or come to learn how to spare others great pain by exposing the cultural lie that pro-abortion is pro-woman.

If God, Why Evil?
Breakout Sessions 2 and 3
About the Session
This world is broken. The Holocaust, 9/11, Rwanda, and many other evil events have led to so much suffering. How could a good and powerful God exist in this world? Does the Christian have any substantial response? In this breakout session, we'll look at the different worldviews on evil and suffering and how they compare to Christianity. We'll aim to tackle this topic at a head (intellectual), heart (relational), and hands (practical) level.

Mark Robinson
Joy in Suffering: A Christian Response
Breakout Sessions 1 and 2
About the Session
Whether we're prepared for it or not, suffering is a part of life. How we respond to suffering can be the difference between keeping our sanity or losing it, between honoring God or dishonoring Him. In this breakout session, we will look at what the Bible says about suffering and talk about how we can keep our joy and peace when life gets hard.
About Mark
Mark met his wife, Tiffani, while attending Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL. They both graduated in May of 2007 (B.A. in Christian Ministries) and were married a few months later.
Before coming to Community Church in the summer of 2018, Mark worked at Campus Life of Sheboygan County for 11 years. His many years working with teenagers (answering their tough questions and helping them with various problems) led him to pursue training in Biblical Counseling and he received his certification with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) in 2019. He is thankful for the opportunity to continue using his talents and passions to share the Good News of Jesus with others and disciple them to follow Christ more closely
​
So far, God has blessed Mark and Tiffani with seven children. People often tell them, “You’ve got your hands full,” but Mark and Tiffani can’t think of a better way to be using their time than raising their kids to be serving in the Kingdom of God. Whether Mark is spending time with his family, serving in ministry, or competing in athletics, he always makes it his aim to glorify God in whatever he is doing (1 Cor. 10:31).
