Opening Night Session
Thierry Fender – “The Upside-Down War”
Location: Palais de l’Épi d’Or.
The Bible reveals a real war in the heavenly realms that deeply affects our everyday lives. As Ephesians 6 teaches, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil, and Revelation unveils this cosmic battle behind earthly realities. Yet through the cross, Christ has already disarmed the powers and triumphed over them. In this class, we will learn to stand firm, love our enemies, and live in the victory of the crucified and victorious King.
Listen to the worship playlist before the conference!
The Kingdom Upside Down: Old Testament Truth for Today’s Confused World
Thierry Fender
Location: Right room
We live in an age where moral clarity is fading and truth seems increasingly relative. Yet the Old Testament reveals a God who does not bend — a God who speaks with sacred clarity about sin, righteousness, and timeless truths. In this class, we will rediscover how to read the Old Testament and hear the voice of God once again — a voice that turn upside down our moral confusion and brings us back to God’s unchanging reality.
Upside Down Romantic Relationships
Mark & Diana Zhygulin
Location: Left room
What does a God-centered romantic relationship actually look like? In a world that often approaches dating and love very differently from God’s design, His way can feel completely upside down. In this class, we’ll share the honest story of our relationship, including many mistakes, lessons, and enjoyment we experienced along the way. We’ll look at practical wisdom from the Bible about dating, purity, and building a relationship that honors God. And at the end, we will have time to bring your questions for an open Q&A.
Upside Down Rhythms: Spiritual Prioritization and Organization
Mitch Perez
Location: Right room
Life gets busy! How do we organize our lives in a way that honors God, while balancing school, work, and everything else? This class will challenge us to examine our hearts and the way we schedule our lives – learning to be organized around God’s priorities rather than the world’s expectations. We will also explore how to stay in step with God when life becomes hectic and how to reconnect when we’ve lost control. Discover practical rhythms that help keep Christ at the center of your daily life.

Called to More
Jean Thomas McGuirk
Location: Left room
This class is designed for those who feel that pull toward something more. Together we will explore how God often calls faithful disciples into greater influence, responsibility, and purpose. Through Scripture and reflection, we will consider what it means to move beyond simply maintaining faith to living a life that actively advances God’s kingdom. For those wondering how their passion, maturity, and gifts might be used more fully by God, this class will help cast a vision for what the next steps of faith might look like.
Growing Up in the Upside Down Kingdom
Wolfgang Tatschl
Location: Left room
This class is for those who have grown up in the church and want their faith to become truly their own. While this is a deep gift, it can also bring hidden challenges—complacency, disillusionment, inherited convictions, or a lack of spiritual urgency. Drawing from Paul’s letters to Timothy, we will explore what it means to develop a sincere faith, a noble character, and a readiness to contend for the truth. Together, we will consider how to move from being shaped by a Christian background to becoming faithful, true citizens in God’s “upside down” kingdom—lives marked by conviction, maturity, and purpose.
The Upside Down Fellowship
Shawn & Lena Wooten
Location: Right room
Our relationships are the key – to us making it to heaven. Our relationships are key to becoming more like Jesus. Our relationships are the key to saving a lost world. It’s time to turn our relationships – Upside down.

Men’s Class
Austen Bolves
Location: Left room
As disciples, we know we are more than just men – we are sons of God. As His sons, God calls men to take ownership in His kingdom. He calls us to be spiritually strong and engaged. This class will discuss the role of young men in God’s kingdom, why it is so vital, and what we must accept about ourselves and about God to fulfill our calling.
Women’s Class
Émilie Tatschl
Location: Right room
The world offers countless messages about what it means to be a woman – but what does God say? In this class we’ll rediscover our true identity, immeasurable value, and high calling as women through the eyes of the one who made us, our creator. Discover the freedom, power and purpose of living as a woman of God.
Sunday Service
Jean Thomas McGuirk – “The Upside-Down King”
Location: Espace Charenton Paris 12
This lesson will explore the surprising nature of Jesus – the Upside Down King – whose humility, sacrifice, and love redefine what power and authority truly look like. As we examine the character of this king, we’ll discover both how radically different he is from every earthly ruler and why his love calls for deep reverence and wholehearted devotion from those who follow him.

Location: Meet at Trocadero

Morning Session
Jack Legon – “Upside-Down Kingdom”
Location: Palais de l’Épi d’Or.
In this session we’ll explore how the early church embodied this upside-down kingdom; devoted to service rather than consumption, sacrifice rather than comfort, and radical love rather than closed circles. As we learn to trust Jesus to build His church, we’ll discover how ordinary disciples who love boldly and live for others can still turn the world upside down today.
