ANOTHER YEAR WITH FRIENDS WHO GET IT
When you signed up to be a pastor, you didn’t expect to navigate a global pandemic, civil unrest, political turmoil, and a recession. However, God has you where you are for a reason. One way to regain sanity and not burn out in ministry is to do ministry with friends. Practically Pastoring is all about: sharing ideas, making new friends, and having a lot of fun while we do it. Join us in February in Florida for the Practically Pastoring Conference, where we will gather to learn from each other, see old friends, and make new ones.
We are not experts. We are peers. In the field with you. Let’s get together for a couple of days and talk about it.
Let’s get practical.
Practically Pastoring 2026 Speakers
Tim Wildsmith
Tim is a pastor, writer, and Bible teacher who built a massive online community by nerding out over premium Bibles on YouTube. If you’ve seen that viral Trump Bible review, you’ve already met him.
Chad Williams
Chad is the lead pastor of BLDG 28 Church in Clearwater, bringing years of seasoned, thoughtful ministry to a growing and dynamic church. Before moving to Florida, he planted HighView Church in Atlanta and spent 10 years as a Church Planting Coach with the North American Mission Board, investing in leaders and helping new churches take root. He mixes theological clarity, steady leadership, and the kind of hospitality you only learn from years of working at Chick-fil-A.
Adam Powers
Adam is the lead pastor of SonRise Community Church in New Port Richey and a book nerd in the best way, holding an MDiv from RTS and pursuing ongoing doctoral work. He pastors, teaches college students, and will happily talk Lord of the Rings for hours if you let him.
And more to be announced!
