Being Human Conference
March 24-26, 2025
Being Human is a three-day conference for students, faculty, staff, and the community that explores the art of the flourishing life through the lens of biblical anthropology.
This year’s conference will feature a leading psychologist and celebrated poet whose
insight will combine scientific study with creative energy. By bridging these distinct
yet complementary fields, Being Human offers a fresh perspective on personal growth,
demonstrating that the wellspring of flourishing lies not only in understanding our
innermost workings but also in celebrating our capacity for artistic wonder.
Attendees will have a chance to win a give away!
