Description

This full–day conference explores one of the most difficult questions in human relationships: How do you engage with someone who has harmed you—particularly a parent? Drawing from biblical insight, psychology, and lived experience, we will examine the distinctions between ordinary sin, entrenched wickedness, and outright evil. Together, we will learn how to discern what kind of person we are dealing with, what love and honor require in broken relationships, and what makes true reconciliation possible.

Participants will leave with clarity on how to set boundaries, how to prepare for difficult conversations, and how to engage those who have harmed them without losing their own voice. This is a conference about courage, discernment, and the disruptive power of love.

Learning Objectives

Participants will learn:

• How to communicate with and engage a parent who is unwilling to acknowledge the harm they have done.
• How to discern whether you are dealing with a garden–variety sinner or a wicked person.
• Why wickedness is not defined by the magnitude of harm but by the refusal to feel sorrow and guilt.
• What it means to love and honor our parents well. Love always disrupts the status quo. When you love your father well, his heart will either harden toward you or his heart will soften toward you... but the status quo will be no more.
• The conditions required for genuine reconciliation with someone who has harmed you.
