Understanding Our Times & Biblical Path Forward
2026-01-24 08:30 - 12:30 | Main Stage, Worship Center, 18375 Cochran Boulevard, Port Charlote, Florida, 33948
Live with Dr. Tackett at Murdock Baptist Church

“ And from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do…” 1 Chronicles 12:32

Understanding Our Times and the Biblical Way Forward is Dr. Tackett’s most recent Biblical worldview conference. Drawn from a livestream series (7 Threats in Our Culture) and his latest video small group study (The Engagement Project), Dr. Tackett shows us from the Scripture what we are seeing play out in our culture today as we rapidly depart from Biblical foundations and exchange the Truth of God for a host of lies.

We pray you will gain a deeper understanding of the primary battlegrounds in our culture: from the family to the church, work and government. We will seek to gaze upon the crown jewel in the nature of God and His vision for His people. We will contemplate what could well be the only Biblical way forward in our times—one that was followed for the first 200 years of the Church before we tragically set it aside.

Join us for this special time as we seek to gain Biblical insight into the times in which we find ourselves, and therefore, like the sons of Issachar, understand what the people of God should do.

There are 3 registration options:

Murdock Baptist Church members, $10 for individuals. Students are free, but you must sign up.

Individual for Understanding the Times Conference, $20

Couple for Understanding the Times Conference, $30

Student, College age and younger, $5
