What does it mean to flourish as the people of God – awakened to new life, rooted in identity, and filled with the Spirit? Through the themes Flourish, Filled, and Found, we’ll journey together into renewal – hearing God afresh and becoming more secure in who we are. We are invited to live as a called’ people, grounded in the abundance of God’s presence and purpose. We will will create space to encounter the Holy Spirit, be refreshed, flourish again, and live as the kingdom community we’re invited to become.

Who's speaking?

Leah Bucko

Leah Bucko is a writer, speaker, and youth pastor with a heart for creating safe spaces where people can be honest about grief, mental health, and the messy in -between seasons of life. Drawing from her own journey of loss and healing, Leah speaks with vulnerability and hope, weaving together story, scripture, and lived experience. She is the author of Living In -Between Grief and Hope, a book that explores the sacred tension of holding both sorrow and joy. Leah is passionate about helping others meet Jesus in their most tender places and believes that we don’t need to be whole to lead—we just need to be willing to be honest.
