Workshop Descriptions

Courageous Prayer: Arming Yourself for Life's Battles

Led by Melle Simms

We find ourselves in the middle of an ongoing spiritual battle, friends, and the enemy has his sights set on you. The devil is a prowling lion cunningly seeking to devour you - coming after your emotions, your mind, your family, your future. Are you ready to stand up and fight back? The goal of this workshop is to equip you with a strategic, spiritual battle plan through the power of prayer as laid out in Ephesians 6:10-18. Utilizing the armor God has already given each of us, we can stand with courage through the battles we face by "praying at all times" in "the strength of His might." No more cowering in fear. Victorious living starts now.

Courageous Faith: Speaking Truth with Grace and Conviction

Led by Amy Hunt

Come and learn the truths of Scripture that prepare us to destroy ungodly arguments but also make peace with others, which is so sorely needed in such a contentious and divided era. This requires a proactive mindset and a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's leading. These truths hold promises for our obedience and leave the results in God's hands. Techniques for how to walk out God's expectations for us as the church will strengthen our abilities to speak truth with grace and conviction to purify our ranks and shine the light of Jesus to those outside of Him. Our culture tries to shut down God's timeless truths that lead to life and replace it with self-indulgent opinions that lead to destruction, and this influence permeates even into the church which is under our charge to protect and unify.

Courageous Identity: Knowing Who You Are in Christ

Led by Laura Diebel

Satan's tactic has always been the same: question the truth of God and attack our identity. From the very beginning, he seeks to distort who God is so we will doubt who we are. If we are going to stand boldly in faith, we must begin with knowing who God is and who we are in Him. Drawing from Biblical truth and Paul's encouragement to Timothy, participants will be reminded that they are created in God's image, empowered by His Spirit, and called to live courageously in a culture often shaped by fear and distraction. Together, we will confront the lies that distort identity and replace them with unchanging Biblical truth. This workshop will equip women to reject fear of man, break free from comparison, and walk confidently in the Spirit's power, love, and self-discipline - standing firm in their God-given identity.
