"Give not thyself up, then, to fire, lest it invert thee, deaden thee; as for the time it did me. There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness..."
-Herman Melville
Moby Dick
Imagining | Provoking | inviting

MHGS Conferences provide a taste of the MHGS experience, mission and vision. These are not run-of-the-mill conferences. They are smart and, allowing opportunity for meaningful change. No matter the topic - whether story, leadership, marriage, sexual abuse, therapeutic praxis or theology - the content serves as an invitation to the conversation(s) that are provoked within and around you. You are invited to both: important content and transformational conversation. You are invited to events designed to merge faith with praxis, hope with reality, learning with life.
