Keynotes
Phil Brookman

He earned his bachelor’s degree in youth ministry in 2005 and his masters in Bible in 2009, both from Oklahoma Christian University. Phil speaks frequently at churches, lectureships, conferences, and youth rallies across the country. Like other preachers, Phil married way over his head, tying the knot with Kansas native Mary Brookman in 2005. They have two beautiful children, Anna and Heidi, 14 and 12 years old. Phil enjoys spending time with his family, running, reading, ping pong, and a good Mexican meal any day of the week. Phil loves the challenge of interpreting ancient texts so they make sense to modern audiences. He is passionate about scripture, discipleship, and spiritual formation.
Shelton Gibbs, III
Bro. Shelton Gibbs III has devoted more than 50 years to preaching and ministry. A third-generation preacher, he is the son of the late Dr. S.T.W. Gibbs, Jr., longtime minister of the Stop Six Church of Christ, and the grandson of two pioneer preachers, S.T.W. Gibbs, Sr. and C.C. Morgan. Bro. Gibbs earned degrees from Southwestern Christian College, Abilene Christian College, and Amberton University and has received honorary doctorates from the National Academy of Christian Studies and Southwestern Christian College. Throughout his ministry, he has preached and conducted evangelistic work across the United States as well as in Jamaica and Ghana. He currently serves as Resident Retired Minister of the Greenville Avenue Church of Christ in Richardson, Texas, where he began serving in 1981. During his ministry there, the congregation grew from approximately 140 members to more than 2,000. Bro. Gibbs has also served Southwestern Christian College in numerous roles, including Director of Admissions, Bible professor, board member, and Interim President. He and his wife, Jeanette, have four children and ten beautiful grandchildren. Bro. Gibbs has a lifelong passion for preaching God’s Word, strengthening the church, and sharing the gospel with others.
Boo Scott
Boo has spent 13 years in campus ministry at the University of Oklahoma, trying to convince college students that Jesus is more important than football, girls, and whatever is trending on TikTok. He says the results were mixed. For the past five years, he has preached at National Park Church of Christ in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he is regularly reminded that preaching is better when you practice what you preach.
He has been married to the same incredible woman for 20 years. Together, they have three kids who keep them humble, entertained, and painfully aware of grocery prices. He loves the outdoors—running, biking, hiking, hunting, and fishing. He has jumped from airplanes, climbed mountains, wrangled sheep, and survived coaching t-ball. He believes in the Gospel, family, the local church, and a good cup of coffee. He is still convinced the greatest adventure is following Jesus and helping others do the same.”

Featuring all NEW Tracks for 2027:
Track 1 – Know Your Story
Every follower of Jesus has a story worth telling. This track helps believers recognize how God has worked in their lives, shaped their faith, and continues to work through them. Classes will help participants better understand their own story so they can share it with confidence and authenticity.
Track 2 – Share Your Story
Many Christians want to share their faith but are unsure where to begin. This track focuses on practical ways to communicate a personal faith story naturally and effectively. Classes will provide useful tools, examples, and encouragement for turning everyday conversations into opportunities for connection.
Track 3 – Connect Your Story
Our personal stories ultimately point to a Greater Story. This track helps believers connect their own experiences to the gospel and the story of Jesus. Classes will explore practical ways to move from personal testimony to sharing how true meaning, hope, and redemption are found in Christ.
Track 4 – Adapt Your Story
Every gospel conversation happens in a different setting. This track helps adapt how to share faith with different people, cultures, relationships, and situations. Classes will equip participants to share their story and the story of Jesus with wisdom, grace, and confidence wherever opportunities arise.
Track 5 – One Story at a Time
God works through ordinary people in ordinary moments to change lives. This track highlights personal experiences of sharing faith, building relationships, and helping others come to know Jesus. Participants will be encouraged to see the opportunities God places before them and the impact of investing in one person at a time.
