Beautiful Gospel Conference Video Series
Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, is at the center of the Gospel.
He is the complete revelation of God, full of mystery and wonder. He has always existed beyond all time and space, yet chose to enter our world to bring about the cosmic shift that began—and continues—to change everything.
In May of 2022, the Impact Nations family gathered in Albuquerque, New Mexico to fix our eyes on the beauty of Christ. Six different nations were represented as we contemplated the simplicity and wonder of the Good News of the Kingdom that Jesus came to announce.
The power of the Gospel lies in its beauty—a beauty that reflects the unwavering, relentless, and unconditional love of the Triune God. It is a Gospel of rescue and reconciliation, of invitation and inclusion. Everyone was made for the Beautiful Gospel.
We now invite you to join us in beholding that beauty. Impact Nations is pleased to provide you with all eight sessions of the Beautiful Gospel Conference and each of the breakout sessions.

SESSIONS INCLUDE
1. GOD IS LOVE (Dr. Bradley Jersak)
John made it quite clear: God is Love. Period. Not, “God is love, but also…” Let’s examine the foundation of our Gospel and make sure it’s good news for everyone.
2. CRUCIFORM BEAUTY (Brian Zahnd)
If the crucifixion of Christ was so bloody and violent, why do artists depict it as beautiful? Perhaps the world has tired of our apologetics and our ethics. What if we gave them beauty instead?
3. PANEL DISCUSSION (with Brad Jersak, Brian Zahnd, Cherith Nordling, Steve Stewart)
What would happen if we truly began beholding with wonder the ultimate and beautiful revelation of God as love and us as beloved? Do we have a false view of what resurrection life should consist of?
4. LEARNING TO BE HUMAN, PART ONE (Dr. Cherith Nordling)
The Son of God became like us so that we could become like Him. But if we’re going to do that, we’d must first recognize and reject the harmful heresies about the person of Jesus.
5. LEARNING TO BE HUMAN, PART TWO (Dr. Cherith Nordling)
What does it mean to be truly human? Jesus faced every temptation that we face and still remained the perfect image bearer. How can we be conformed to His image?
6. WHAT DOES "SAVED" MEAN? (Dr. Bradley Jersak)
Throughout Christian history, we have used the word “saved” in a variety of ways, but it is important to understand what we mean. Brad provides three distinct biblical definitions.
7. LET BEAUTY BE YOUR GUIDE (Brian Zahnd)
Why did Thomas choose not to believe? The Gospel is too good, too beautiful to not be true. Can true beauty can be a reliable guide to ultimate reality?
8. STORY TIME (Dr. Bradley Jersak)
For two thousand years, martyrs have displayed existential grace in the face of persecution and death, leading to mass conversions. What would happen if the church were to operate in this grace once again?
