ACU Summit Program 2017

The Choices We Make and the God We Serve “He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt … I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction.

For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws … now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.”

Deuteronomy 10:18-19, 30:15-16, 30:19-20

WELCOME …

… to Abilene Christian University and Summit 2017!

Since its founding in 1906, Summit, formerly known as Bible Lectureship, has brought spiritual renewal to participants. We pray the same for Summit 2017 as we examine the ancient yet relevant principles found in Deuteronomy. May we renew our hearts and minds to be faithful disciples of Jesus. May your time on campus refresh and encourage you in your service in God’s present and future church.

All our events are planned for your spiritual enrichment. In addition to the excellent theme speakers and exceptional variety of classes, you may experience the Summit Film Festival, engage in dialogue through one of the Conversation Corners, and worship with our guest choral groups. When you download the Summit mobile app, you will find all of the encouraging and edifying experiences planned for this year’s event.

It is a good time to visit campus as the university continues to grow. As guests on our campus this week, we pray you are blessed by students, faculty, staff, and the Summit experience.

You bless us by your presence. We are glad you are here!

ALL-DAY TRACK: MONDAY

THE ANCIENT-FUTURE BIBLE

In partnership with the Center for the Study of Ancient Religious Texts • Track Host: Curt Niccum (Abilene, Texas) The Word of God is living and active, and has been so for millennia. The rich heritage we have from our predecessors in the faith, from manuscripts to art and from reflection to action, can be a profound source of spiritual strength today. This track empowers Christians to engage God and his creation in new ways by going back to the future.

JONAH: INTERPRETED, REINTERPRETED, AND INTERRED How a Small Biblical Story Became Prominent in Early Christian Art 9-9:45 a.m., BSB 129 Wendell Willis (Abilene, Texas) When you think of death and the afterlife, which stories and images come to mind? Is your first thought about Jonah? This visual presentation explores the second most popular image found in early Christian art. Come see how the earliest believers communicated their most fundamental hopes with art in the Roman catacombs and elsewhere.

RECOVERING THE WORDS OF JESUS Deciphering an Ancient Aramaic Manuscript of the Bible 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 129 Jeff Childers (Abilene, Texas) Discovered in 1895 and offered for auction in 2009, the manuscript Codex Climaci Rescriptus has many layers of text, including parts of the Bible in a rare dialect of Palestinian Aramaic very near to Jesus’ own dialect. Students and scholars at ACU and around the world are applying their skill with ancient languages and digital humanities, along with the technology of multispectral imaging to decipher the mysteries of this ancient Christian book.

GOLIATH WAS ONLY SIX FEET TALL? WHO HAS BEEN MESSING WITH MY BIBLE? How the Oldest Hebrew Manuscripts Are Shaping the Newest English Versions 1:30-2:15 p.m., BSB 129 Glenn Pemberton (Abilene, Texas) This class explores the strange and marvelous world of deciphering the ancient manuscripts and sources behind the text of the Hebrew Bible. However, it’s not for Hebrew readers only! This presentation helps explain what may be coming soon to an English Bible near you.

ANCIENT-FUTURE READING Encountering Scripture With the Church Fathers 2:30-3:15 p.m., BSB 129 David Kneip (Abilene, Texas) When you read the Bible, does it sometimes feel like your eyes are just moving over the page or screen, but you aren’t really engaging the Scriptures at any depth? This session will offer you some ancient tools to renew and deepen your time in the Word, courtesy of our fathers in the faith.

CHROMOSOMALLY CHALLENGED BIBLES The War Over Women in the Word 3:30-4:15 p.m., BSB 129 Curt Niccum (Abilene, Texas) Feminism! Gender neutral! The last 10 years have seen radical rewording of our Bibles and reactionary responses to it, even resulting in one version being pulled from bookstore shelves. What is going on and why is it such a big deal?

ALL-DAY TRACK: MONDAY

CONGREGATIONAL LEADERSHIP

In partnership with the Siburt Institute for Church Ministry • Track host: Eric Gentry (Memphis, Tennessee) With today’s complexities of congregational leadership, church leaders are seeking wisdom in navigating the winds of change.

This track will explore healthy leadership practices, pastoral ministry, spiritual discernment, and future imagination for congregational leaders.

EMPIRE AND THE CHURCH The Pastoral Work of Disentanglement 9-9:45 a.m., BSB 120 Collin Packer (Allen, Texas) and Barry Packer (Dallas, Texas) A conversation about the influences of nationalism, wealth and violence on the church. How do ministers and elders navigate these congregational loyalties, and orient their churches towards God’s kingdom of self-emptying peace?

LESSONS FROM A CHAPLAIN ON CONGREGATIONAL GRIEF AND LOSS

10-10:45 a.m., BSB 120 Kasey McCollum (Denton, Texas) McCollum is a hospital chaplain with insights on families grieving from newborn and prenatal deaths. She’ll offer advice on how congregations respond to and survive seasons of grief (especially caused by the loss of children in the congregation).

SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT AS A CONGREGATIONAL LEADER

1:30-2:15 p.m., BSB 120 Jovan Barrington (Denver, Colorado) The congregational leader faces a host of decisions every day.

How do we move from deciding to discerning?

WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR? A Reflection on the Purpose of the Church in a New Era 2:30-3:15 p.m., BSB 120 Chess Cavitt (San Tan Valley, Arizona) Across the country, churches are experiencing decline, members are less involved, and hallmark church offerings (like VBS, marriage seminars, service projects) are poorly attended.

Chess will engage scholarship and his own experiences in ministry outside the Bible Belt to articulate a fresh vision for the church’s role in the world today.

CLARITY IN COMPLEXITY: A LEADERSHIP MODEL FOR GOD’S MISSION

3:30-4:15 p.m., BSB 120 Carson Reed (Abilene, Texas) Present-day cultural and contextual challenges create a daunting environment for church leaders. One path forward is to relinquish the false notion that good leaders must first figure things out.

Rather, by embracing prayer and biblical wisdom, effective leaders pay attention to three foundational truths providing clarity for meaningful and transformative leadership.

ALL-DAY TRACK: TUESDAY

MINISTERING IN THE SMALL CHURCH Track Host: Shawn D. Johnson (Cisco, Texas)

Although there is no official number that makes a congregation “small” or “large,” there are definite and noticeable differences.

Most books, lectures, conversations, etc., are geared toward larger congregations. This track is intended to provide encouragement, guidance and lessons specifically for these small (and equally important) churches and those who minister to them.

REFLECTIONS ON CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN RELATIONSHIP TO SIZE AND LOCATION

8:30-9:15 a.m., BSB 120 Tim Sensing (Abilene, Texas) Sensing will reflect upon and explore the history of Churches of Christ, specifically looking at congregation size and location. Prior to 1906, congregations in the Stone-Campbell movement were reported together by the U.S. Census Bureau. From that date forward, a cappella and instrumental Stone-Campbell congregations have forged separate paths. For more than a century, Churches of Christ have been found in various sizes and locations throughout the world.

WE ARE NOT IN THE NUMBERS GAME An Unapologetic Defense of Small Churches 9:30-10:15 a.m., BSB 120 Shawn D. Johnson (Cisco, Texas) In our minds, church growth and success are almost exclusively related to numbers: increased attendance, programs and financial contributions.

This mentality can give a small congregation a false sensation of irrelevance.

The Lord’s church is both relevant and valuable, not because of numbers, but because God is head. Learn about the life-cycle of a church, congregational demographics, and diversity within a small community and a small church.

TREASURES IN BIG AND LITTLE PACKAGES

1:30-2:15 p.m., BSB 120 Michael Harbour (Sweetwater, Texas) Significant ministry and mission occurs in congregations of all sizes. Large churches often have critical mass and provide large-scale mission and ministry.

Small congregations often provide spiritual community and significant ministry.

Although language between the two are sometimes different, there are spiritual treasures in large and small congregations.

SMALL TOWN, BIG MINISTRY

2:30-3:15 p.m., BSB 120 Wes Horn (Stamford, Texas) Like a small-town physician who serves as a health care generalist, the preacher in a small town fills dozens of roles inside and outside of the congregation. The context of the small town requires preachers to possess the highest degree of creativity, compassion and interpersonal skills. Explore the vital role and various ministry opportunities of the minister in a small town and small church.

SOUL CARE FOR SMALL-CHURCH PREACHERS

3:30-4:15 p.m., BSB 120 Trent Tanaro (Spearman, Texas) Ministry in small congregations can at times be lonely for the preaching minister who is always “on call.” As they take care of the people of God, preachers must attend to their own spiritual walks. Discover important principles through which those in ministry can grow spiritually and lead disciples in the congregation toward maturity in Christ.

ALL-DAY TRACK: TUESDAY

BUSINESS AND MISSION

In partnership with the College of Business Administration • Track host: Dodd Roberts (Abilene, Texas) It is possible to be a businessperson fully on mission for God! However, just as many believe incorrectly that science and Christianity are at odds, some believe business and God do not mix. This track will consider the ways in which businesses and business people are redeemed by God when fully committed to him. Hear several believers who have business success discuss how they mesh their training and careers with their vocational calling in Christ.

WHY BUSINESS AND MISSION

8:30-9:20 a.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Mats Tunehag (Eskilstuna, Sweden) As a longtime thought leader in the business-as-mission arena, Tunehag will discuss how God views business in scripture, how God’s mission and business are in harmony, and how God can redeem business for his glory. Tunehag will set the stage for the day, leading discussion about how Christians can pursue their vocational calling as disciples with their interest in business.

BUSINESS AND MISSION ABROAD PANEL

9:30-10:30 a.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Don Simmons (Clifton Park, New York), Jason Fisher (Germantown, Tennessee), Bill Job (Xiamen, China), Courtney Mills (Nairobi, Kenya) and Matthew Rohrs (Nairobi, Kenya) Simmons has helped numerous for-profit kingdom businesses succeed by providing investment capital to help them get started.

He will lead a panel discussion with three practitioners who are building God’s kingdom through for-profit business around the world. Job has run a successful glass product manufacturing plant providing jobs for hundreds of people in China. With a missional focus, Fisher has founded many businesses inside and outside the U.S., including Highland Harvesters, the largest apple orchard in Ethiopia. Mills founded Sinapis, a business training and accelerator program in Nairobi, Kenya. Rohrs is on the Sinapis leadership team.

FROM NONPROFIT TO FOR-PROFIT

10:30-11 a.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Jan Martinez (Spokane, Washington) and Julie Sullivan (Portland, Oregon) Martinez helps homeless, unemployed or under-employed women in urban Spokane by teaching job skills through Christ Kitchen, a nonprofit organization she founded. She inspired Sullivan to do the same in Portland through her for-profit nut butter business, Ground Up PDX.

OUR BUSINESS, GOD’S BUSINESS How Hobby Lobby Stays True to its Foundation of Faith 12-12:45 p.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Lauren McAfee (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) McAfee, the granddaughter of Hobby Lobby founder David Green, is a successful businessperson on her own merit. Learn how Hobby Lobby continues to be one of the most successful companies in the U.S. while staying true to its faith foundation in a tough business and social climate.

DOWNWARDLY MOBILE From the Simple Life to Warfare Life 12:50-1:20 p.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Gary Ginter (Chicago, Illinois) Ginter helped build Chicago Research and Trading, a leading commodity futures trading firm, and was a senior leader in the launching of Globex, the premier electronic trading system for futures. His latest venture is VAST Power Systems, a firm working on pollution control and power cycle efficiency. Despite “worldly” success, Ginter embraces the godly philosophy of strategically simple living, and will discuss how a businessperson can be successful and at peace while serving God’s purposes rather than material wealth.

BUSINESS AND THE MISSION OF GOD Embodying Reconciliation 1:30-2:15 p.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Chi-Ming Chien (San Francisco, California) Chien could be a senior executive at Google or Apple, but has chosen a different path. He leads Dayspring Technologies in San Francisco, a business reflecting his Christian convictions for the past 20 years. From tech job opportunities for at-risk youth, to lending as a practice of peace, Chien will explore how a business embedded in a particular place can express God’s heart.

ADVANCING THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN THE MARKETPLACE

2:20-2:55 p.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Walter Cunningham (Lubbock, Texas) For the past decade, Betenbough Homes has been recognized as one of the most successful residential construction companies in the nation. Its leadership team and parent company, Cornerstone Business Holdings Inc., intentionally and creatively implements Kingdom principles in its daily work. Cunningham, a senior executive, will share how God can use everyone to advance his Kingdom in the marketplace.

THE STORY OF MISSION LAZARUS

3:05-3:50 p.m., BSB 100 (Hart Auditorium) Jarrod Brown (Franklin, Tennessee) In San Marcos, Honduras, everyone knows the godly work of Mission Lazarus. Near Cap Haitien, Haiti, they are learning about the same thing. Mission Lazarus is a prime example of faithfully serving God’s mission through business pursuits and by developing people through vocational training. Hear Brown tell how Mission Lazarus became an outgrowth of his own faith story.

THEME SPEAKERS SUNDAY 7 P.M. AT UNIVERSITY CHURCH OF CHRIST

LANDON SAUNDERS From Memory to Hope (Deuteronomy 1:1-8; 4:1-40)

TUESDAY 11 A.M. IN MOODY COLISEUM

THEMA BRYANT-DAVIS From Bondage to Appreciation (Deuteronomy 10:12-19)

Israel’s experience of enslavement shaped its ethic for the liberty and protection of others. People who have experienced redemption from pain and hardship often become the most generous people in their communities. God’s love calls us to love our neighbor.

As Israel stood on the border of the promised land, Moses delivered a history tutorial to enable the people to envision a new world flowing with milk and honey. God’s actions in the past and his promises for the future awaken our love and commitment today.

MONDAY 11 A.M. IN MOODY COLISEUM

SEAN PALMER From Grace to Torah (Deuteronomy 5:1-21) Behind the Ten Commandments lies the story of how God rescued slaves from bondage and led them to a land where they could flourish as free people. Our story also begins with God’s grace that then transforms our way of living and being in the world.

MONDAY 11 A.M. IN CULLEN AUDITORIUM

JAMES K.A. SMITH You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit

That which we adore and worship alters our hearts; therefore, worship of God alone must be a cornerstone of our faith. A discussion of key habits and practices can transform our worship, our education and our spiritual formation – in the college setting and in our churches.

MONDAY 7 P.M. IN CULLEN AUDITORIUM

TUESDAY 7 P.M. IN CULLEN AUDITORIUM

CHRIS SEIDMAN From Oppression to Blessing (Deuteronomy 11:26-32)

“Blessings” and “cursings” stress the seriousness of Israel’s relationship with God. Dwelling in God’s presence and walking in God’s path opens the way to an abundance of blessings. In Jesus Christ we have “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.”

WEDNESDAY 11 A.M. IN MOODY COLISEUM

JEANENE REESE From Death to Life (Deuteronomy 30)

Although God chose Israel, Israel had to also choose God. For Israel, that choice was between life and death. Amazingly, even if Israel followed the path of death, God’s forgiveness was possible. The choice between life and death is continually offered to all who are broken, disenfranchised and lost.

JOSH ROSS From Love to Love (Deuteronomy 6:1-9) The Shema, the most significant statement of faith in human history, emerges from the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy to reflect God’s love story for Israel. No other word than “love” personifies the totality of God and his character. Our only response to God’s love is love. We love because he first loved us.

GLOBAL REFUGEE MEDICAL MISSIONS EXPERIENCE In partnership with ACU Pre-health Professions, ACU TV, ACU Maker Lab, and the International Rescue Committee

According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, more than half of the world’s 65 million refugees come from just three countries ravaged by conflict – Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia. This number is unprecedented; sadly, half of the refugees are children.

With Deuteronomy serving as foundational text for Summit 2017, the Global Refugee Medical Missions Experience provides participants an occasion to reflect on and respond to on this worldwide crisis.

Entering the 30-minute experience will lead to interaction with refugees who live in Abilene, a look at a typical day in the life of refugees, and an opportunity to re-evaluate the importance of Deuteronomy 10: “He enacts justice for orphans and the widows, and he loves immigrants, giving them food and clothing.”

THE STONE-CAMPBELL MOVEMENT IN A POST-CHRISTIAN WORLD Relevant or Irrelevant?

9-9:45 a.m., BSB 130 Douglas Foster (Abilene, Texas) In a nation and world increasingly hostile toward traditional Christianity, identifying deeply with a specific Christian tradition seems less and less relevant. What possible value would there be in maintaining the unique witness of the churches of the Stone-Campbell Movement, specifically Churches of Christ, in a context in which all Christians need each other more than ever before?

10-10:45 A.M. CLASSES: SESSION 2 WHAT YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW ABOUT ‘THE LEAST OF THESE’

10-10:45 a.m., BSB 100 Hart Auditorium David Vanderpool (Thomazeau, Haiti) Matthew describes the marginalized as hungry, thirsty, homeless, sick, naked and imprisoned. Disciples of Jesus responded holistically and compassionately by addressing all aspects of the poor and powerless. LiveBeyond, led by David and Laurie Vanderpool, is a model for moving beyond words to action with “the least of these.”

ENNEAGRAM. ENNEA-WHAT? ENNEAGRAM! How the Journey of Self-Knowledge Changes Everything 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 103 Casey McCollum (Denton, Texas) The Enneagram [any-uh-gram] is a personality typing system that shows us, with often uncanny accuracy, how we see and inhabit the world. While similar to other personality tests, it is much more in-depth and provides spiritual insight for marriage, parenting, ministry and all your relationships.

REFORMATION 500 Luther’s Three Main Moves 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 114 Leonard Allen (Nashville, Tennessee) On Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his “95 Theses” on the door of the Wittenburg Church. To his surprise, that act helped ignite an epochal event in Christian history: the Protestant reformation movements of the 16th century. Here at the 500th anniversary, this presentation focuses on Luther’s three main theological moves, with a glimpse at how Alexander Campbell sought to “complete the Reformation.”

WEDNESDAY MEDITATIONS FOR THE LONE TRAVELER The Bible and the Life of Faith 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 120 Mark Hamilton (Abilene, Texas) This class reflects on the author’s new book, Meditations for the Lone Traveler (Wipf and Stock, 2017) and the devotional value of the Bible. It asks how we can take the Bible seriously as literature, history and theology while also praying the book, which was intended to explore the deepest questions about the relationship between God and humankind.

TAKEN BY THE SECRETS A Conquering Vision 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 121 Jeff Dunn (Huntsville, Texas) How can a book of seemingly obsolete and obscure rules impact the vision and direction of the modern church attempting to engage a millennial culture? Join us as we examine the keys to vision casting and how they apply in plotting a direction for churches in today’s world.

MISSIONS FOR THE DEAF: LOCAL AND FOREIGN 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 127 Jerry Drennan (Abilene, Texas) Part 2 of 2.

FRONT ROW CENTER The Intersection of Ministry and Live Theatre 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 129 Curtis King (Abilene, Texas) Theatre offers countless possibilities for bringing spiritual lessons to life. This class will review ways to use live theatre for theological exploration and ministry.

OWNING FAITH, STICKY FAITH, SOME FAITH, NO FAITH Reimagining the Role of Church and Family in the Faith Journey of Teenagers 10-10:45 a.m., BSB 130 Ron Bruner (Hollis, Oklahoma) and Dudley Chancey (Edmond, Oklahoma) Research shows parents remain the No. 1 influence on their children, especially in faith development. This class attempts to put parents back in the driver’s seat while still engaging the church body in the biblical mandate to teach the younger.

11-11:45 A.M. THEME CONVERSATION FROM DEATH TO LIFE (DEUTERONOMY 30)

11-11:45 a.m., Moody Coliseum Theme Speaker: Jeanene Reese (Abilene, Texas) Worship Leader: David Martinez (Houston, Texas) Although God chose Israel, it also had to choose God. For Israel, that choice was between life and death. Amazingly, even if Israel followed the path of death, God’s forgiveness was possible. The choice between life and death is continually offered to all who are broken, disenfranchised and lost.
