Conference Theme

In a world where we are constantly connected through technology, we find ourselves more isolated than ever. Our screens often keep us at a distance, offering a surface-level connection that leaves us craving deeper relationships. But Scripture reveals something radically different—a God who chose to come near. He didn’t remain far off but became flesh and dwelt among us. This summer at RYM, join us as we dive into the profound reality of a God who draws close, inviting us to know Him as Emmanuel, “God with Us.” Experience a week of faith, fellowship, and fun as we discover what it means to live fully in His presence.

Main Speaker

Rev. James Forsyth

James Forsyth is the Senior Pastor of Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, TN. He grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he graduated from the University of Edinburgh before moving to the U.S. for grad school at Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS). James co-hosts a podcast called “Live Deeply” and is a Guest Professor of Practical Theology at RTS Washington, D.C. James is married to his high school sweetheart, Rosie, and is dad to Mia, Caleb, Seamus, and Isla. Formative experiences include growing up in a strong, tight-knit family, being a college athlete, becoming a father at the age of 19, wrestling through seasons of anxiety, and being shaped by a handful of key mentors. Throughout, God’s grace has been the theme – a theme that now animates his life and ministry. In his free time, you might find James CrossFitting, supporting Manchester United, laughing too loudly with friends, grilling, playing guitar, or – at his happiest – enjoying his family.
