Practices of high-impact boards.

Christians are called by God to help those in poverty, and many are eager to answer that call. But how? This talk equips Christians with both a solid biblical and economic understanding of how best to care for the poor and foster sustainable economic development and human flourishing.

For many people, fundraising has become a dirty word. Conjuring images of guilt-inducing gimmickry, the predominant model saps the joy from both the donor and the receiver. But what if fundraising has the potential to be good for the giver, not just the receiver? Peter offers a relational approach to fundraising, replacing guilt and obligation with gratitude and joy.

Good relationships lie at the heart of every successful organization. Yet no relationship is more important or more challenging to navigate than the one between the board and the CEO. Peter draws on years of nonprofit experience to equip board members and organizational leaders to enter into an impactful, life-giving partnership. With this pivotal relationship in place, individuals and the organizations they serve can truly flourish.

Just as mission drift is prevalent in organizations, it can run rampant within marriages and families. What does it mean to avoid defit in our marriages? How can we continue to pursue our purpose as a couple through times of discouragement? Based on his book, 40/40 Vision, Peter shares insights from the book of Ecclesiastes that help to anchor us, renew us, and propel marriages into meaningful mission and service.

Caring for kids in crisis is at the heart of Christ’s mission for the Church. Still, stepping out isn’t always comfortable or safe – and sometimes, it can absolutely break out hearts. Peter speaks from his own family’s experience with adoption and foster care, encouraging all to consider how we can play a part in caring for children.
