Announcing the Diamonds 2022 Theme, Speakers, & Dates!

It’s ANNOUNCEMENT DAY! This will be our fifth Diamonds event, and y’all? It never gets old. This has been in the works for a while, and the staff and I are SO EXCITED to share these details with you! Who, what where . . . we have some awesome speakers and topics lined up, and I’ll be speaking about some stuff God has been teaching me that I haven’t shared publically yet.

I can’t wait to have you join us in January, it’s going to be, as my friend would say, “fantastic.”

What is Diamonds 2022?

Diamonds is an online conference for Christians with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and health challenges. Millions of chronically ill people battle impossible trials every single day. But so many of them feel so alone. The speakers of Diamonds 2022 want them to know they aren’t — not by a long shot. The theme for Diamonds 2022 is Connected — all about our relationship with God and others. Diamonds 2022 will be an encouragement in the reality that you are not alone and equip you to use the unique opportunities suffering gives us to love others well.

When is Diamonds 2022?

Diamonds 2022 occurs the last weekend in January — from Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th. You can join live for free, and if you miss anything you will be able to view the recorded version by purchasing the all-access pass.

Where is Diamonds 2022?

Diamonds 2022 is completely online. We know that traveling with an illness is difficult, so we want to bring this right to you — even if you’re in a hospital bed or are housebound.

What Does Diamonds 2022 Cost?

Because we know that many with health challenges face burdensome medical bills, and because our goal is to uplift instead of adding just one more thing, Diamonds 2022 is 100% free while it’s live.

After that, you can purchase the all-access pass to gain lifetime access to the conference content along with some exclusive bonuses. The all-access pass will include the recorded versions of all the sessions, some extra live events, extra freebies and giveaways, a coupon for the merch shop, and more.

We want this conference to be available for a long time to come. We want to make this event the best it can possibly be to serve chronic illness warriors well, and we want to be able to help it grow and improve.

Thank you for supporting this conference and helping us serve you and your fellow chronic illness warriors to the best of our abilities. We don’t want anyone to be shorted this powerful tool of encouragement, so we are still offering it free live, and there will be some scholarship applications available.

“I am one of those individuals who is not able to attend church right now, nor able to leave home much. To gather together and be encouraged amidst this type of chronic illness, in my own home, was such a blessing. I found myself being reminded of things God had already been teaching me, being reminded that I am not alone in my struggle and hearing new words of encouragement.”

Diamonds 2022 Private Community

The Diamonds 2022 private Slack community was one of the most requested aspects of the conference, and I’m so excited for you to be able to connect with the other Diamonds 2022 attendees. People who understand and get it can be SO incredibly powerful.

Chronic illness and health challenges are a long, hard, lonely road, but you are so far from alone. I’ve made some pretty close friends each year with the conference and I hope you do as well.

The community is also a great place to interact with the Diamonds 2021 speakers and panelists.

See you over there!
