The episode of Speak the Truth previews the new Practical Theology track at the Call to Council Conference (April 23–25, 2026) at Doxology Bible Church in Fort Worth, Texas, featuring host Michael and guest Nathan Penney, Pastor of Soul Care Ministries at Hope Bible Church in Oakville (Toronto area). Nathan describes his ministry overseeing counseling and discipleship, then explains the track’s objective: working through the first seven questions of the ABC Level 2 theology exam using a “head, heart, hands” approach that defines doctrine, shares personal transformation, and applies truth to counseling and discipleship. The team includes Shanda Anderson and Jason Kovacs (a Canadian Biblical Counseling Coalition board member). Sessions cover sufficiency of Scripture, God’s revelation (including applied revelation), incommunicable and communicable attributes, names of God, the will/sovereignty/providence of God, the Trinity, and an eighth-session Q&A panel, emphasizing accessibility for both Level 2 students and all Christians. 00:00 Welcome and Mission 00:53 Meet Nathan Penney 01:14 Soul Care Ministry Context 02:17 Conference Connection and Sabbatical 03:03 Why This Track Matters 04:01 Practical Theology Objective 06:23 Track Team and Audience 08:23 Who Should Attend 10:38 Session Breakdown Overview 10:56 Sessions One to Three 14:29 Sessions Four to Eight 18:42 Making Theology Street Level 20:59 Final Invitation and Wrap Episode Mentions Register for the Conference
