LifeSession Descriptions
Cardio Wake-up Call
Debbie Eble
Early Birds get the worm because they get up and get moving. Here’s your chance to jumpstart your metabolism, improve mental clarity and mood all day long! Come as you are (but wear tennis shoes) and join me for a “just havin’ fun” workout. Life is what you make it—Make it Fit 4 Him!
Conversation with God
Priscilla Sapp
Are you interested in finding someone who lives to receive your requests, who has experienced everything you have and navigated it successfully, and who promises to give you a correct perspective on your life? Do you want to learn how to communicate to Him and how to hear what He is saying? We will look at how to grow in your visits with God and the impact that can have on your life and the lives of those around you. What a difference it will make!
Dangerous Places (for Ministry Wives)
Patti Boswell
This is a repeat session for those who were unable to attend the Mini-Retreat on Thursday night. We will discuss both positive and negative life situations when we reach the places of: If Only, Why, When . These can be very dangerous places for us, not only as followers of Christ, but especially as Ministry Wives, if our focus is not on Jesus.
Daybreak
Tara Rye
Have you ever heard the cliché' it’s always darkest before dawn’? In life it seems it is always darkest just moments before we see the light at the end of our struggle. DAYBREAK is a character study of nine people in the Bible reflecting upon what they had to go through to find his or her daybreak with the LORD. Each of us experiences times of struggle with those around us and with God. See you at the Daybreak!
Do You REALLY Know Your State?
Jean Roberson
There is so much we know and take pride in about our home states! But if we look beneath the surface, we uncover some dark realities. Together we will look at the issue of human trafficking and how it occurs right where you live.
Echoes from the Pit
Amanda Castilleja & Juwana Ross
Mother and daughter share with you their lives, heart and The Word. By stepping through Psalm 40, they will tell their own stories of tragedy and redemption. You will be challenged to cry out from the pit, climb out of the pit, and conquer the pit.
Finding Passion and Purpose for the Second Half of Life
Gloria Burk
This presentation will help mature women reflect on how God has used them in the past and encourage them to take a fresh look at how God can give them peace, passion and purpose in midlife and beyond.
Homeland Security
Leslie Hazelett
When you were a child, did you have a security blanket or a favorite stuffed animal you slept with? When I was a child, I had a red and white teddy bear that I held while I sucked my thumb, and for some reason that made me feel better. I actually rubbed his nose off and most of his 'fur'. That was then and this is now though. That teddy is long gone. So to what do I turn today? Is it possible to feel secure in the world? Let's explore this "security issue" through the eyes of scripture and see if we can find a reason to hope.
Human Exploitation
Marca Deimund
Human Exploitation is more than what immediately "pops" into your mind. I want to expose you to several different areas of Exploitation, including bullying, natural resources, human trafficking: sex and labor, pornography and the media's exploitation on our lives. Knowledge is the beginning of Wisdom and Wisdom the beginning of Action! Isaiah 61: 1-3.
Kissing 10 Through Life Walking
Mari Jaquith
Hear a little of my story from the past five years and how God provided life walkers to guide me through, while giving me a vision of a new model for ministry to women…Life Walking.
Live Out Loud
Tracie Smith
After going on a mission trip with my teenager so we could witness to the world, God showed me that I live in the middle of my mission field. I’m a mother of three teens and I have a passion to let others see Christ through everything I do. We don’t have to leave the country; we just have to leave our comfort zones. We don’t have to be perfect; we just have to show others we can get back up. We don’t have to understand everything about the Bible, we just have to be willing to Live it Out Loud.
The Mormon Plan of Salvation
Ken James

Panic to Passion
Calah Titus
Calling all worriers, perfectionists, and control freaks! If you fall into one, or all of these categories, this just might be the class for you - you are among friends! We'll look at what God's Word says about each topic and whether or not they can actually be a blessing. Dive in with me as we share and debate these natural tendencies that most of us fight on a daily basis and discover how each can actually be used to benefit the kingdom.
Planning To Share
Brenda Lee
Do you know that Jesus wants you to share your faith but don't know where to start? We will have some fun and share personal witnessing ideas either individual or small group as well as some ideas for event evangelism. Explore telling the good news intentionally with different age or cultural groups.
Sex and the Single Woman
Cheri Tapahonso
This session is primarily based on Paul’s letter of encouragement to the church in Thessalonica, particularly I Thess. 4:1-8. We’ll learn God’s will regarding our sexuality, how to apply principles and truth to our everyday situations, and how to encourage younger women in the church to lead a life of purity. We’ll draw from scriptures and other materials written by experts on the subject. Each individual will leave with scripture references as well as an outline of the study for further prayer and meditation. There will also be time designated for discussion and encouragement.

So What About This Body
Debbie Eble
Do you believe in the resurrection of the body? Are you living like you believe it? If we are going to get a new body, a resurrected one someday, is it that important we take such disciplined care of it now? You may not be satisfied with your current body or mind – but you’ll be thrilled with your resurrection upgrades. Setting our hearts and minds on Heaven by exploring what the Bible says about our body now, and then.
Surrender: The Ultimate Victory

Start Something New!!
Pam Mungo
Have you ever thought about having women into your home for Bible study or coffee, a book club or just a meal? Most new churches start from something as simple as this. More and more women today are asking God to use them to impact the community where they live and to make a difference in lives. I have been planting churches that change lives since 1978. This conference will help you with ideas that can impact your community, change lives and maybe see a new church started as a result.

Worship Leader
Lori Morrison
Lori prayed to receive Christ as her Savior at a very young age. Shortly after that prayer, she was drawn to the piano and began learning under her mother’s guidance. Her father was the worship leader and her mother was the church pianist, so music was a naturally large part of her upbringing. Lori’s most recent solo project, “Shine on Me” was produced by Brent Milligan (Steven Curtis Chapman, Toby Mac). Lori has had the privilege of leading worship for several years with long time friend and Grammy award nominee Brandon Heath. She has also led worship at various women’s retreats, worship services and held workshops for worship teams across the country. Her heart and passion for worship, and her desire to see God’s people truly engaged in worship, is her lifelong mission.
