What changed was not the mission, but the approach.

The original model centered on a single, multi-day conference. Over time it became clear that while the content remained strong, the format limited reach and flexibility. By moving to a one-day, multi-city model, Courageous Conversations became more accessible and more scalable, positioning Jude 3 for broader reach, stronger partnerships, and more effective stewardship.

A national presence

The new model engaged nearly 2,000 people across multiple regions in 2025, reflecting in-room participation by pastors, leaders, and attendees positioned to influence churches and communities nationwide. This shift transformed Courageous Conversations from a single destination event into a national presence.

Strengthening church partnerships

In partnership with the E.K. Bailey Preaching Conference, Jude 3 Project engaged over 1,000 pastors from across the country, advancing a core goal of increasing partnerships with churches nationwide. The focus was not on promoting an event, but on building relationships that extend impact far beyond a single gathering.

Platforming emerging voices

Courageous Conversations continues Jude 3 Project's commitment to platforming emerging voices equipped to speak thoughtfully and faithfully to the questions shaping this generation, including Dr. Sherelle Ducksworth and Hakeem Bradley. Together, these efforts position Courageous Conversations not as a single event, but as a sustainable strategy advancing Jude 3 Project's mission in the years ahead.
