Honesty Over Silence

19–23 May 2025 (Mon–Fri)

Honesty Over Silence seeks to open up conversations around topics many of us find difficult, such as:

• Trusting God in times of uncertainty
• Anxiety and depression
• Identity
• The importance of self-care and rest
• Thankfulness

With characteristic warmth and empathy, Patrick Regan examines the strength in letting go of our need to be in control. He helps us explore how we can stop comparing ourselves to others and instead live authentically and honestly, as we grow into the people God has created us to be.
