Give Up To Go Up - September 2019
The fear of scarcity often dictates our behaviors, and in some instances, it exposes areas in our lives that are typically overlooked. These areas are sometimes uncovered when moving into a new position where more is required of you. This year’s Greater Than Conference speakers will address these areas and present strategies for overcoming them.
No matter your occupation or position, this year’s Greater Than Conference will inspire you to learn how to be more successful and significant in the Kingdom of God. You'll also discover what your next steps are in what God has called you to. His strength is shown through our weakness, so in order to Go Up, we'll explore what we may need to Give Up.

Breaking Through Barriers - September 2018
You have a plan for your success. God has a plan for your significance. These two designs for your purpose work together so you can achieve at a higher level at work, school, or in your ambitious pursuits. The meaningful work you do to help others provides the vision and perspective you need to break through the barriers that block your path to purpose.
This year’s Greater Than Conference speakers will uncover surprising misconceptions about what these barriers really are, and they’ll also share the most important lessons they’ve discovered in their careers after breaking through them.
No matter where you are in your career or what industry you work in, this year’s Greater Than Conference will elevate your perspective and approach to achieve success and significance. Unite with other passionate professionals as we work on becoming Greater Than our failures, Greater Than our success, and Greater Than ourselves.

Level Up
God’s plan for you is longer than your lifetime. No matter where you are or what season you’re in, it’s important to assess what changes can be made to ‘Level Up’ into the next stage of your life and to keep your vision focused beyond the daily grind.
Everyone has a God-given purpose. What some don’t understand is how it can apply in the workplace, at school, at home and with everyone we interact with. The purpose of this year’s Greater Than Conference is to share practical insight and experiences to help each of us uncover our passion for a cause beyond our own well-being. It’s in this pursuit that we become Greater Than our failures, our accomplishments, and ourselves.
