Transformational Conflict
Nina Barnes
Workshop C | Knight Hall
Jesus said, "Blessed are the Peacemakers , for they will be called children of God" (MT 5:9)
Yet, the process of making peace - working to achieve genuine peace - can be intimidating! Still, every conflict is an opportunity - an invitation - to grow spiritually. The outcome will nurture healing in our lives, our families, our broader communities - even the world. This workshop will explore barriers and ways forward in learning to navigate conflict with both courage and kindness.

Get Healthy
Dr. Troy Spurrill
Workshop D | Knight Hall
If you've ever wondered, Why don't I have the energy I used to? Why can't I sleep at night? Why can't I lose weight? The truth is, our health challenges are as unique as we are, but there are some common factors involved with so many of the health challenges women face. Join radio host and author Susie Larson for an entertaining and equipping time as she interviews Dr. Troy Spurrill on many of the prevailing health questions of our day.

Equipped for His Calling
Anna Rask Emison
Workshops A&B / F1360
God has called people to some seemingly impossible tasks. Moses was to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, and Elijah was to call them back to God when they turned to other gods. Both men expressed their fears and inadequacies to God; we may also feel this way when God calls us. And yet, the Bible shows that God faithfully equips those he calls; we can move forward in obedience knowing he is with us.

Living Between Once-Upon-A-Time and Happily-Ever-After: God's Sovereignty in Difficult Times
Bev Phillips
Workshops C&D / F2106
Often when we begin a relationship with Jesus, it feels like the sweet beginning of a wonderful story that will continue until the happily-ever-after of heaven.
What happens when there are big bumps or deep valleys along the way? Difficulties such as marriage, Finances, cross-country relocations, miscarriage,
prodigals, cancer, aging? Can we see His presence actively woven throughout each event and season? Let’s examine how God is our burden bearer, provider,
supporter, sustainer, and helper as He authors our life stories. He answers the question of “who’s in charge here?” while giving practical help and
encouragement during the “in-between” times.
The Lies We Believe
Niki Corbin
Workshops A&B / F2128
There are lies we believe that allow us to live in the heavy, chaotic, anxious, guilt-ridden spaces in life. Yet there are truths that can set us free. Let’s dig in to some of the lies that are holding us back from living the abundant life God has for us and share encouraging truths of how to obtain the joy and peace that He intended for us!
The Faith of a Woman of Purpose
Satise Roddy
Workshops A&C / Naz Chapel
God looks past the obstacles that might deter His children from trusting and believing in Him.
We do not lack in terms of the promises of God. But between the reading of the promise and the enacting of the conditions of the promise in our lives, there is something we must do. Trust, Believe and obey, no matter what our circumstances. As we remain obedient to God and confident in His timing to accomplish His will for our lives, He gives grace to sustain us, and He has a way of taking our circumstances and turning them completely around for His glory!
Sustaining Rest and Revival
Twila Jensen
Workshops C&D / F1360
In these challenging times, how do we find a place of rest? It may feel like we are pressed on every
side—yet the Lord promises us a beautiful and abundant life where we flourish. So how do we get
there? Jesus slept in a boat in the middle of a storm. What was His secret and how do we follow Him? We find a place of sustaining rest from planting our feet in the promises of God and pulling down the fullness of what God has for our life and His Kingdom purposes for this hour.
