We're excited for Esther Liu's breakout session at this year's conference! Our culture tells us that the path to human flourishing is found in some version of success and accomplishment. But Scripture offers a different path to human flourishing—one that entails humility. Join us virtually or in Virginia Beach!

We're excited to have Blair Linne join us at this year's conference! She'll be speaking on how anxiety can deepen our dependence on God. In a Christian culture that often equates peace with the absence of struggle, those who battle anxiety can feel isolated or spiritually deficient. Yet anxiety can actually be an invitation to deeper intimacy with Christ. Join us virtually or in Virginia Beach!

We're glad to have Jonathan Leeman join us as a breakout session speaker at the 2026 CCEF National Conference! Join us virtually or in person as we explore the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. About this session: God designed human beings to rule—to author life under his authority. Yet since Genesis 3, authority has become one of the most contested gifts we bear, used as often to wound as to bless. This session will offer a biblical framework for what good authority looks like: It creates rather than steals, submits rather than stands unaccountable, seeks wisdom, disciplines without crushing, and bears costs rather than pushing them downward. We'll consider what this means for counselors caring for those harmed by authority and those called to exercise it. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman

Kyle Johnston is joining us at the 2026 National Conference! Read more about his breakout session on a theology of disability. We hope you join us, whether virtually or in person, as we consider the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. About this session: Our view of people with disabilities reveals our deeper beliefs about what it means to be human. Unfortunately, many of us have unrecognised theological errors that emerge when we engage people with disabilities. These false beliefs create pain, confusion, and isolation—preventing us from including and caring for those impacted by disability. In this session, we will work to untangle ourselves from these false beliefs by exploring how the Bible gives us a theology of disability. Being renewed by God’s Word, our hope is to become wiser in our efforts to love, include, and care for people with disabilities. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman

We're excited to have Rebekah Hannah join us at this year's conference as a breakout session speaker! We'll explore what it means to be human and live according to God's beautiful, wise design. Join us virtually or in Virginia Beach! Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. Breakout Session 1: Parents often want a script for talking to their kids about difficult things, but what they need first is a vision. Drawing from Talking to Kids About Hard Things by Rebekah Hannah and Michael Keller, this session will equip biblical counselors and ministry leaders to help parents understand the theological “why” behind honest, gospel-rooted conversations with children. When parents see hard conversations as part of God's beautiful design for human flourishing, everything changes—not just what they say, but who they are becoming alongside their kids. Breakout Session 2: Identity in Christ answers the question: Who am I? It is unchanging and declarative: the stunning truth of what God has said about us in the gospel. But without confidence in Christ, we tend to use that identity as a self-help tool or a way to feel better about ourselves rather than as a reason to worship. This session will consider how confidence is what allows us to wear our identity the way Christ intended. It is the lived, functional trust that moves identity from a concept we affirm to a reality we inhabit. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman

We're glad to have Nancy Guthrie join us at the 2026 CCEF National Conference! Nancy will be giving both a general session and a breakout session. Join us virtually or in person as we explore the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. About this breakout session: We were made to behold God in the face of Jesus Christ. Every longing of our hearts, every disappointment in our lives, and every question that lingers in our minds finds resolution as we set our gaze on Christ. Yet sin distorts our desires and our ability to behold him, leaving us in need of renewed vision toward the person of Jesus. This session will consider ways we can catch glimpses of the beauty of the Lord throughout Scripture. We’ll explore what it means to behold Christ now, even as we look forward to the day we’ll see him face-to-face. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman

We're looking forward to having Lainey Greer join us at this year's conference! We'll explore what it means to be human and live according to God's beautiful, wise design. Join us virtually or in Virginia Beach! Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. About this breakout session: In 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Paul highlights the Trinity’s involvement with the body to confront anti-body thinking and call Christians to live as embodied beings for God’s glory. This session will explore a theology of the body as seen in this passage of Scripture. When we understand why our bodies matter to God, we can then see why they should matter to us—because a right view of body image and stewardship only makes sense when we understand God’s design. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman

Michael Gembola is joining us at the 2026 National Conference! Michael serves as a visiting faculty member with CCEF and the consulting editor for our Journal of Biblical Counseling, and he has spoken at many of our past conferences. We hope you join us, whether virtually or in person, as we consider the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. About this session: The design of many US cities, neighborhoods, and churches makes it difficult to know people or help each other. In communities built for fast driving, people have to schedule physical movement, experiences of beauty, and church-life connection. This isolated way of life threatens our health, harms us spiritually, and makes counseling problems worse. In this session, we’ll consider what it looks like to inhabit our spaces differently, in incremental and practical ways, orienting all of life toward the love of God and neighbor. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman

We're glad to have Joy Forrest @joy_forrest join us as a breakout session speaker at the 2026 CCEF National Conference! Join us virtually or in person as we explore the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at ccef.org/2026. About this session: God created us in his image and invited us into a relationship where faith could thrive. When sin entered, fear and mistrust followed. Anyone who has faced deep adversity knows that suffering can challenge faith. In hard times, the connection between pain and faith becomes clear. We may question God’s goodness or whether his promises are really for us. In this session, we’ll explore practical ways to rebuild faith after trauma by examining biblical stories and promises related to faith struggles. #ccef #ccef26 #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #fullyhuman
