ACBC TRAINING

Training Opportunities

Gospel Treason Conference:  On October 9-10, 2026 Pastor Brad Bigney will be presenting the seminar "Gospel Treason" (Friday Evening 7 - 8:15 PM and Saturday 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM). 

Pastor Brad's testimony: "My desire as a pastor and counselor is to see people changing to be more like Christ, and to be living effectively for the glory of God. For that reason, this conference is focused on how to change on a heart level that will last.
The material I share in this conference is very personal and is taken from my book, Gospel Treason. In many ways, the conference is a snapshot of my own spiritual awakening and breakthrough in learning to fight the sin beneath the sin. An understanding of what’s going on in our hearts below the surface of specific struggles and conflicts allows us to focus on root sins (motives or idols of the heart) instead of just going after fruit sins.
I’ve been teaching and using this material in counseling for over 20 years now and, by God’s grace, hundreds of people have stated that this material has been life-changing for them."

'The Bible teaches that counseling is part of the normal process or one-anothering or discipling that all Christians are called to as we live life together and experience the pain and the bearing of one another’s burdens. '

'At Road To Emmaus, we counsel people using God’s all-sufficient Word, and we host training to equip people to come alongside others with the hope found in God’s Book.'

'Biblical Counseling is what happens when you use God’s Word to have a conversation with and show care to people who are hurting and in need of God’s wisdom and guidance.'
