Breakout sessions provide you the opportunity to choose the topics that interest you the most. In these sessions you will dig into scripture and obtain a deeper understanding of relevant issues facing us today. Who knows, you might even make a new friend!
We gather women from our church body to lead these 40-minute sessions. There will be three rounds of breakout sessions on Saturday. You will choose from the list below for Sessions 1 and 2. Everyone will attend Session 3, the time depending on the chosen lunch shift. (See our schedule on the home page.)
There is no special sign-up for these sessions, they are offered on a first come, first served basis. Seating will be limited in many sessions. Always have a back-up session planned in case your first choice is full when you get to the room. If there are no available seats in a session, please go to a different session.
BREAKOUT SESSION TOPICS
Overcoming Doubt to Increase Faith
Teacher: Linda Weaver
Doubt can creep in when the circumstances in our lives look opposite the good plan we expected from God. All too often, we will become discouraged and hopeless, but the facts in our lives do not dictate our faith or the outcome of the situation when God is in control of all things. Join us in this session to be encouraged to stand strong in faith as we face the facts this life presents to us.
Cultivating Our Faith with Journaling
Teacher: Misty Johnson
Journaling can be a powerful tool that helps strengthen our faith by developing an understanding of God’s Word and His character, and aligning our daily prayers and emotions with scripture. In this session, we will talk about several different types of biblical journaling.
Identity in Christ | How It Impacts Our Faith
Teacher: Tami Croy
Are we living a faithful life or a life full of faith? These two things are very different. A faithful life can slip into dependence on us and what we do. A life-full-of faith is solely dependent on the Lord. Truly knowing our identity in our Heavenly Father gives us access to everything we need to live a full-of-faith life. Join us as we talk about how trusting that our true identity IS who God says we are and how it changes the way we walk out our faith.
Faith in the Middle of Waiting
Teacher: Rheanna Bowers
Seasons of waiting on God can be the most difficult, yet most fruitful times in our Christian walk. In this session, we will discuss how to have persistent, laser focused faith while waiting on God to move. Waiting isn’t an invitation to stop, it’s an invitation to grow, to become unshakable. It’s learning to be still and know he is God, while also doing the kingdom work He has set before us.
Breakout Session 3: Fueled by Faith | Praying Audacious Prayers
Teacher: Shannon Roberts
Prayer is and always will be the key to our connection to God. If we want to see real change—in our lives, our families, our jobs and community, we can’t rely on generic, safe prayers or continue on with prayer as an afterthought. In this session, we will talk about the power of praying bold faith-fueled prayers.
