The Backstory on the Logo

As we worked together on creating the conference logo, we wanted to capture the heart of God’s pursuit of peace and reconciliation. Plus, His invitation to join Him in the work. We began in Matthew 5:9 where Jesus says, “Blessed are the Peace-Makers, for they will be called children of God,” realizing that being a Peace-Maker isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are as followers of Christ. Our new default. Our Jesus operating system (OS) – if you will.

The next question was, “How do we live this out?” Drawing from Isaiah 2:4, “…they will pound their swords into rakes and shovels,” we envisioned a design that symbolizes our call to turn weapons of destruction into tools of restoration. The dagger is more than a literal weapon; It symbolizes the different ways we wage war everyday – with our words, our thinking, our actions, and even our lack of words or lack of actions.

The logo became a reminder of the hard, beautiful work we’re all invited to do—actively partnering with God to be Peace-Makers in our relationships, homes, schools, workplaces and wherever He calls us.
