Breakout Sessions

A. Exploring “READ: A Bible Study Plan for Unpacking God’s Word” – Sarah Poynter
Have you wanted to dive in and study God’s Word on your own but feel overwhelmed or ill-equipped? Come explore this helpful method for studying the Bible and learn how to get more out of your time in the Word.

B. A Bird’s Eye View of the Bible – Nancy Davis
When you try to look up a passage in the Bible, do you feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t know what she’s doing? Are the books of the Bible all jumbled in your mind? Would you like to get a better understanding of the Bible’s general story line? We will cover how the Bible is laid out and what’s in it, seeing Jesus in the Old and the New Testaments, and how scripture fits into human history and into your life. What to bring: your Bible and a pen.

C. Spiritual Growth: It’s not a microwave situation! – Cynthia Hart
Learn about the process of letting your life flow out of the heart of God. Learn practical ways to grow deeper and see bigger in your journey to spiritual growth and maturity. After all, you are His workmanship, in the ordinary, the mundane, and even the suffering. The journey is extraordinary and God is the Master craftsman!

D. Missions: Cultivating a Heart for the Nations in your Home – Renee Young 
We want to love the nations, but how? What does that look like while living in urbanized America? Does it mean I have to go to the other side of the world? This Fun Shop will show you what it means to have a heart for people who might speak Hausa, maybe eat whale, or even live in a collapsible reindeer hut. This Fun Shop will provide practical ways and helpful tips you can immediately use in your home to help your whole family cultivate a heart for the nations.

E. Finding Calm in a Scary World: Anxiety Coping Strategies – Tammy Scott
As Christian women we all have heard Philippians 3:6-7 the “Do not be anxious” verse. Have you ever felt like a failure because you aren’t feeling that “peace of God that transcends understanding”? You’re not alone – and there is help.

F. Spiritual Warfare and Prayer: A Light in the Dark – Kristie & Mia Blyseth
Mother and daughter will be sharing their story of spiritual warfare and the power of prayer. “My transition to adulthood, being 22 years old in 2023, and the ways in which the Holy Spirit has revealed to me, a doubting child, the Grace of God.” -Mia Blyseth 1 Corinthians 13: 11-13

G. Intentional Grandparenting – Dianne Bruton
This session will explore ideas and suggestions for passing on a legacy of faith to our grandchildren as we point them to Jesus. The Holy Spirit inspires and enables us uniquely and individually as we invest in our grandchildren’s lives with intentionality.

H. Hope Deferred…Waiting on the Lord – Melanie Pruett  
We live in a face-paced, instant gratification, click of a button culture. We don’t want to wait. We don’t like to wait. But sometimes God calls us to wait…to wait for a cure, a job, a spouse, grief to pass, happiness to come…the list goes on. And although there are many seasons and reasons for waiting on the Lord, the painful road of infertility can be especially devastating for the Christian wife. By sharing my personal journey through infertility, it is my prayer that the scriptures and Biblical truths we look at will be helpful to anyone who is waiting on the Lord. Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.”

I. Gardening and Homesteading – Amanda Toney
