What is Diamonds 2022?

Diamonds is an annual online conference for chronically ill Christians. 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 Summer Event is Dream Again, this year, we have speakers from around the world, and each of these amazing people has a special message of hope and compassion to share out of their own experiences with long-term illness and relationships. Topics including Grieving and Surrendering Lost Dreams, Finding New Passions When You Have Limitations, Courage To Hope for New & Old Dreams, Trusting God In The Unknowns and Changed Plans, and Being Faithful in the In Between, all from the perspective of living with chronic illness and health challenges. 

When is Diamonds 2022?

The Diamonds 2022 Summer event will occur June 24th-25th, 2022. You can join live for free, and if you miss anything you will still 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 chronically ill warriors 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. You will be able to purchase an all-access pass after the live workshop in case you miss anything or you would like to re-watch the conference at a later time.

 

Diamonds Summer Event Dream Again
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.”
Michelle

Diamonds 2019 Attendee

“I really enjoyed the conference and literally watched it from bed.”
Jennifer

Diamonds 2019 Attendee

“This was my first experience attending a Diamonds conference but, God willing, henceforth, I plan to attend them all and invite many to join me… Attending seven or eight of the sessions provided invaluable and practical advice to me.”

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 is 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 2022 speakers and panelists.

See you over there!

Diamonds 2022 Study Guide

The Diamonds 2022 Summer Event study guide is specifically designed for you to go through as you watch the Diamonds 2022 Summer Event. It will help you personally apply the things you learn instead of just watched passively, and it will help you remember the encouragement and tips you heard in Diamonds 2022 long after the conference is over. We know that the battle doesn’t end just because the conference does, and we want you to be equipped as you fight day by day. This study guide will help you make the most out of the Diamonds 2022 Summer Event and remember what you learned far beyond the end of the conference.

The ebook is free, and we also have a paperback option for those who like to take notes, hold books, and enjoy the new book smell.

Study Guide Kindle Version

Due to technical difficulties the free kindle version of the study guide won’t be live on Amazon until Friday night at 5pm Mountain time.

Until the study guide goes live you can download the PDF version of the study guide below
