WEEKEND CONFERENCE AND KEYNOTE TOPICS
Woman Overboard! Finding a Ribbon of Calm in a Sea of Stress
Frazzled, frustrated, fatigue; overcommitted, overloaded and overwhelmed. This describes how the majority of us feel every day as a result of being bombarded with relentless stress from marriage, relationships, parenting, finances, commitment overload and just life in general. Sadly, most of us are looking for stress relief in all the wrong places, and the help we may find, is not the help that will get us through. You will experience a stress-makeover in heart, mind and soul as you:
- Understand the physical and spiritual benefits of looking to God for stress relief
- Tap into the power and presence of God to regain a life of peace
- Discover how to live a life of joy despite your circumstances
From Panic To Prayer
Life is full of storms, but no matter how bad the storm, we can endure it if we stay in the presence of the Lord and learn to find rest in Him. By focusing on the details of the second most stressful day in the life of Jesus, you will come to understand that Jesus experienced stress and anxiety, and is the role model we should look to as we face difficult situations in our own lives. Through an in-depth look at how the Bible instructs us to deal with life’s stressful experiences and trials, you will be able to:
- Relate to Jesus in new ways as you realize that He dealt with storms in life just like us
- Enrich your prayer life by learning to trust God in the middle of storms
- Sense a renewed closeness with Christ and a fresh desire to depend on Him in hard times
Turning Your Past Into Your Purpose
“What’s my purpose?”....is probably the most important and empowering question a woman can ask herself. We all long to live a life of purpose, but many women feel that mistakes or experiences from their past prevent them from not only being loved and adored by God, but from being usable for God. Through Tracie’s sharing of her personal story of repentance, redemption and restoration, you will gain a fresh understanding of how God really can, and does, use all things to His glory, if we are willing to say yes to His call. This message will empower you to live confidently in Christ by helping you:
- Discover emotional freedom through the forgiveness of Christ’s
- Increase self confidence by recognizing the importance of self-forgiveness
- Understand how you can turn life’s disappointments into God’s appointments
- Experience a fresh desire to be obedient to God's call on your life
Removing The Mask: Discovering The Joy In Being Real
It begins in adolescence, and continues throughout our lifetime - the art of putting on a plastic smile, hiding our past, covering our flaws, and masking our inner most hurts and insecurities, all the while hoping that we can keep up the charade. You heart will be transformed and your spirit lifted as you recognize the joy that is available by being with real with ourselves, real with others, and real with God. You will walk away with a sense of excitement and empowerment to use Gods victories in your life as you:
- Embrace inner peace by finding freedom from the debilitating feelings of shame
- Reduce self-condemning thoughts by understanding God’s forgiveness and mercy
- Discover the joy in realizing that God can bring good things out of every experience in our past.
- Increase your capacity for building deeper, more fulfilling relationships
Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life
It’s easy to be positive when times are good, but when it seems that everything in life is not going well and we run into difficult times and situations, keeping a positive attitude can be tough. We all know that the best way to keep a positive attitude during difficult times is to understand that our joy comes from Christ, not from circumstances, but that is easier said done. In this session you will be inspired to stay positive in good times and bad as you:
- Stop the unhealthy cycle of comparing ourselves and our lives to other people
- Develop positive perspectives on the things that happen in everyday life
- Embrace the ability to look at the future with a renewed hope
- Identify four ways to experience a joy-filled life
Empowered By A Whisper
Hearing God’s voice is by far the most important part of our prayer and fellowship time with God, and most of us desire to hear God's voice thundering through the air with the answers to their problems. However, God’s voice is still and small, like a gentle whisper, requiring an intimate relationship in order to hear Him. You will be reenergized to listen for God in your heart and obey Him in your life as you:
- Recognize how to hear God’s voice in the unique ways He chooses to speak in today’s society
- Embrace the importance of prayer and fellowship with God
- Increase your awareness of God’s supernatural intervention in your life
Embracing The Call
“But God, I don’t want to do that!” If God has ever called you to do something that seems beyond your comfort zone or capabilities, then you can relate to that statement. This session focuses on helping you realize how God has been equipping you throughout your lifetime for the purpose He destined just for you, even if His plan does not make sense to you yet. By focusing on exemplary biblical characters, and their trust and commitment to God, you will be inspired to take a leap of faith in whatever God is calling you to do as you:
- Understand how having a true servants heart opens the door for Christ to work in your life
- Replace the fear of failure with God-inspired confidence
- Recognize how procrastination results in missing Gods best
- Relate to Jesus in new ways as you realize that He dealt with storms in life just like us
- Enrich your prayer life by learning to trust God in the middle of storms
- Sense a renewed closeness with Christ and a fresh desire to depend on Him in hard times
