The workshop is designed to be practical, hands-on, and approachable. No technical background is required. Bring a smartphone and laptop to get the most out of the session. The session will be led by Dr. Tad Dickel and Wes Luttrell of T.A. Dickel Group, LLC. To help maximize participation across churches, attendance is limited to three participants per church.
