Engaging Exposition is a new annual conference hosted by Southeastern designed to equip local church pastors to preach and lead biblically. This two-day event included practical breakout sessions, a panel, and times for fellowship as well as main sessions led by Robert Smith, Jimmy Scroggins, Scott Pace, and James Merritt. The 2024 theme, “The Preacher’s Character,” addressed the need for pastors to be transformed and motivated by God’s word.
