Join us LIVE for sessions from Torrey Conference 2022.
This session features:

- An extended time of worship from @FASeasons
Streaming live from Biola University on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at 7:00pm - 9:00pm PDT.
Biola students: Conference credit is only available by attending in-person.
We want our spiritual walks to be a straight line, but oftentimes they are more of a zigzag. We wish to plan out our lives – or at least know what lies ahead – but we can’t see that far. Sometimes God transforms us instantly through a worship night or conversation, but most of the time becoming like Jesus takes time, intentionality, and patience.
Continuing our walk through Philippians, Torrey Conference 2022 dives into Philippians 2:12-13: Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
A few questions arise about the spiritual growth (salvation) process in these verses:
- What is my part in spiritual growth (work out)?
- What is God’s part (works in)?
- How does this all work together?
The main goal of TC22 is to explore how we work out our salvation while God works in us through three main avenues of spiritual growth:
- Spiritual practices
- Story
- Suffering
Each session will unpack the importance of these three S’s.
Join us as we learn to walk The Way of Jesus together!

@FASeasons
For All Seasons began as a group of friends in college that started a band with a shared passion for serving Jesus, making music and using their gifts to serve others. They write songs from their personal stories, placing an emphasis on fusing biblical truth with the passionate expression of original music. 10 years and six records later, the heart is still the same: to lead you in authentic worship and encourage you to worship God with honesty and surrender — because a genuine encounter with the living God will truly change your life forever!
