Kingdom Living in Light of the Bible’s Cosmic Vision
October 9–10, 2026 | Golden, Colorado
The 2026 Divine Council Worldview Conference brings together scholars, teachers, and ministry leaders to explore what it means to live faithfully in light of the Bible’s cosmic vision. Building on the biblical theology and worldview emphasized in the work of Dr. Michael S. Heiser, this year’s conference will focus especially on the practical implications of that worldview for the life of God’s people.
Over two days, our presenters will approach Kingdom Living in Light of the Bible’s Cosmic Vision from a variety of perspectives, with time for both presentations and discussion.
Below you’ll find the full conference schedule.
