Naturally what?
Jesus was pretty awesome. He did all sorts of miracles, saw people healed and spoke with authority. He had compassion, set people free and spoke up for the poor. He loved the unloved. Ultimately he revealed what God is like.
We're not Jesus, but the same spirit that raised him from the dead is in us (Romans 8v11). At Pentecost the Holy Spirit empowered and equipped the first followers of Jesus to do the same sort of stuff that Jesus did and for the same reason - to ultimately to reveal what God is like.
We believe the same should be true today, and so we want to learn to let the Holy Spirit use us in our every day lives... we want to learn to be Naturally Supernatural, letting God's spirit work through us to reveal our amazing and loving Father!
That's the point and heart behind the event, and we'd love you to join us there!

Speakers
Naturally Supernatural is being hosted by Mike Pilavachi and Andy Croft from Soul Survivor, but we're also pleased to welcome some fantastic speakers from around the world.
Mike Pilavachi (Host)
Mike is a West Wing fan and master chef who spends a lot of time taking the mick out of his mates and competing with them over anything and everything. Sadly he hasn’t found a way to make a living out of any of that, so following on from his previous careers as an accountant and youth worker he now heads up everything at Soul Survivor and pastors its associated church (Soul Survivor Watford), speaks at events around the world, writes the odd book and tries to keep up with his five Facebook accounts.
Andy Croft (Host)
Andy works at Soul Survivor, training up young leaders through our Soul 61 programme and traveling around the country speaking at CU events, churches and conferences. He studied Theology at Cambridge, has an impressive book collection, is married to Beth and likes competing with Mike in the gym.
Christy Wimber
Christy Wimber and her husband, Sean, are pastors of the Yorba Linda Vineyard in Southern California, which was planted back in 2006.
Christy has been working for many years taking teachings from John Wimber (the founder of the Vineyard Church movement) and making them available for the larger church. Christy is also a featured writer for “The Church Report;” a newsletter that goes to all denominations and has more than 177,000 followers.
Accommodation
Unfortunately we're not offering accommodation with your ticket for Naturally Supernatural. However, Watford (being the gateway to both the M25 and the M1) has a bunch of Travel Lodges, B&B's and other options of places to stay.
