The Science of Sex and Identity

with Dr. Kristine Coons

Dr. Kristine Coons (DO, FACOI), offers a compassionate, science-backed overview of human sex development, gender identity, and the natural diversity found in both.

Drawing from embryology, genetics, neuroscience, and historical context, Dr. Coons explores how biology defies binary categories—and how intersex and gender-diverse identities are part of the human spectrum.

This session is perfect for those seeking to better understand the science behind sex and identity, dismantle myths with empathy and evidence, and foster more informed, inclusive communities.

The Ministry of Reconciliation: Our Marriage Focused on Covenant Keeping and Building Peace with Those Who Disagree

with Nathan Tenney & Thomas Smith

Nathan and Thomas discuss how honoring covenants can become a source of strength as we navigate our relationships with family, church leaders, and fellow members. Drawing on their experiences, we'll share how we strive to stay rooted in faith while maintaining meaningful relationships with those who may never fully encourage our life together.  

This is a conversation about the often quiet and unseen work of reconciliation: the spiritual discipline of loving others without full agreement, staying faithful in the face of disappointment, and creating peace without compromising our integrity.

Every Moment Is Grace: Redemption and Faith Found Within the Darkness

with Lindsey Sais

“No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night.” – Elie Wiesel

 Lindsey Sais has lived that truth. Her story spans drug and alcohol addiction, incarceration, queerness, neurodivergence, and an unexpected faith in a God who never left—even when the Church felt distant, then erased her name.  Lindsey offers a rare and sacred look at the gospel from the margins most people never see, much less live through.  

This session is for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, for those learning how to see, those who don’t belong, and for all who believe, or simply want to believe, that the Atonement reaches farther than we were taught. Come hear a story you won’t forget—because it was never meant to be kept.
