Every couple of years 12,000 or so Pastors and church leaders gather in Louisville Kentucky at Together for the Gospel. T4G features incredible corporate worship, powerful preaching and lots and lots of free books!
This year, T4G’s theme was “Distinct from the World”. Each sermon and talk was aimed at addressing how exactly the local church should be in the world but not of the world.
Here are 10 memorable moments from this year’s T4G
