Hundreds of families will gathered as well as farmers, physicians, theologians, chefs and leaders committed to encouraging a reformation of the way Christians approach food in the life of their families. They will come together for a historic and innovative event: The Reformation of Food & the Family conference. For three days they charted a course for rebuilding the culture of the Christian family by restoring mealtime to its proper place; investigating some of the most controversial food controversies impacting the Christian family, and examine the future of food in America. From hospitality to GMOs, from food heresies to biblical principles of food and health — The Reformation of Food & the Family conference seeks to chart a course for encouragement, unity, and maturity in the Body of Christ.

And for those of you who were not able to attend, Vision Forum Ministries is pleased to offer a cost-effective solution. For just $35 you can have access many of the highlights of this conference — including most of the keynotes, main sessions, and workshops which were recorded from Ballroom A, our primary session room for the conference. The archives will no longer be available after July 31.

Watch a great line-up of exciting speakers livestream from your computer, including Joel Salatin, Doug Phillips, Gary Powers, Francis Foucachon, Nancy Campbell, and many more.
