The Pulpit and the Public Square is an MPI Preaching Conference designed to equip pastors and ministry leaders to engage today’s cultural conversations with clarity, courage, and biblical faithfulness. This gathering explores how preaching can thoughtfully address the questions, tensions, and stories shaping the public square—without compromising the truth of Scripture. Featuring main session speaker Natalie Runion of Raised to Stay, the conference invites participants to learn how to speak with conviction and compassion, cultivating sermons that resonate with real-world concerns while remaining deeply rooted in the gospel.
