Finding the Truth in Our Testimonies 

Testimonies are great examples to others of what God can do when we trust in Him for everything. We can share how God has worked in our lives even when the outcome was not what we had in mind. Our life events can serve to give hope to others who may be going through a similar situation. Writing down our testimonies serves as a reminder to ourselves of the peace God has given  and will give in the future.

Help! I’ve Fallen and Don’t Want to Get Up!

Have you or someone you know reached a point of exhaustion? Would you like to know how to avoid burnout?  Do you want to regain the spark?  This seminar is not a glib pep talk; it deals with the reality of burnout, and gives specific information on how to recognize burnout danger signals, how to avoid it, and how to recover.

Trusting Our Differences: If Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus, Aren’t We Both Aliens? 

You’d think, since men and women have lived together since the Garden, we’d be better at it. Yet, we seem to concentrate on our differences and spend our lives in compare-and-contrast mode. There’s got to be a better way -and there is! Come, rejoice in our divinely inspired differences, while appreciating the heavenly and here-and-now lessons from God’s design.

Just Say “Yes” 

Through the years, I’ve followed the advice of an elder in our first ministry: to discover your gifts when asked to do something at church, “Just say yes!”, or echoing Ephesians 2:10, as we follow the Lord’s leading for service, we discover our gifts. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 ESV

Free Falling

Is fear gripping you?  Do you feel completely lost and stuck in your circumstances?  What if I told you there is a way to make it through this seemingly impossible season with a hope filled heart? That I myself am in the midst of excruciating grief for my only son right now, and yet I am singing sweet praises of His Mighty Name? Over the ledge trust means trusting the Father with His Will and our well being. When we free fall into His loving, more than capable hands, His promises come true in us.

Examine Your Heart 

“But you promised!” How many times have we said those words? People may not always keep their promises, but you can trust God never forgets His promises. Join me as we first explore seeking His faithfulness to get us through our hard seasons. Then, I will invite you to “Examine Your Heart”. This art project will be a reminder of God’s promise to heal your heartbreaks, bind up your wounds, and save the crushed in spirit.

Trusting God as ‘Grand’ Influencers 

The culture war is real! As  grandparents we can either choose to worry and fret about the world our grandchildren are growing up in OR we can TRUST God and go to war on their behalf. In this workshop we will discuss and collaborate on how to intentionally influence our grandchildren for Kingdom living. We will spur one another on to leave legacies that will make an impact for eternity.

God is Near: Parenting Children With Anxiety 

Currently, Childhood Anxiety affects nearly 20% of kids ages 5 to 17, most go undiagnosed or left untreated. In this workshop we will discuss how to support a child with anxiety, look at some hard anxiety facts, lean into what God says about worry and anxiety, and hear a personal account from a parent in the process of supporting her own child with anxiety.

Cultivate the Discipline of Astonishment

Pay Attention! Live Astonished! Tell About It! Together we will discuss spiritual growth, not as a procedure, but as a wild search for trusting God in the tangled jungle of our lives.

Where’s Easy Street? Trusting God Amidst Darkness        

Christianity has never been about an easy life. There are as many  scriptures that speak about blessings, health, and prosperity as there are trials and tribulations. Most of our biblical heroes overcame substantial, often seemingly impossible obstacles. Therefore, having taxing situations or struggles in life is not a sign that you have done something wrong; it is just a sign that you are alive. In this workshop, not only will you come away with five simple ways to strengthen your trust in God amidst dark times, but also you will be encouraged and built up to stay strong in the battle.

God-fidence: A Confidence In God, A Peaceful Trust  

Isaiah 26:3-4 says, “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD Himself is the Rock eternal.” What is this confidence in God? What is this perfect peace?  We will take a look into God’s Word and find plentiful examples and tools for us to live a life of   “God-fidence”. Hiding God’s Word in our heart is just one of these tools. Be ready to work on a project that you can take with you.
