You Lead Women's Event

Breakout Sessions

• Alicia Wong - Ministry to Women Essentials (General/Ministry Leadership)

  Have you been called to lead women in your local church? Whether you are starting from scratch or in the process of rebuilding, this session will guide you through some basics in assessing your situation and moving forward. Learn principles from the book of Nehemiah and see how the why of ministering to women hasn't changed – the methods have.

• Anne Harrison - More Than Just a Party (General/Ministry Leadership)

  We live in an event-driven world and our calendars are crammed.  So what if you could create events that impact women's lives (and the kingdom of God) forever? In this session, we will talk about the nuts and bolts of cultivating events for small groups, mid-size ministries, and large communities all while focusing on the intentional ministry of event planning.

• Anne Harrison - Who is your Mark 2 Action Crew? (Personal Equipping)

  Someone asked this question once and I’ve never been the same! We know we all need friendships and community, but how do we make these types of connections that will be both practical and encouraging? God’s Word speaks directly to the importance and in this session, we will learn how to do this.

• Anne Harrison - Discover the Word’s Sweetness (Biblical Literacy)

  How to study your Bible and help others study theirs Matthew 28 gives all believers the command to be discipled and make disciples but how does that really work? Are we really suppose to be able to read God's Word on our own and teach others how to do the same? YES! And the process is more fulfilling and life-giving than you can imagine. Join us as we see just how sweet it is to learn to study God's Word and then pass it along through the S.U.G.A.R. process.

• Faith Grosshans - Generation to Generation (General/Ministry Leadership)

  Many times church ministries try to mind their own business. The youth keep their messy games in the gym, the children keep their excited squeals on the playground, the adults tend to their studies in their classrooms, and the 55+ group is probably having the most fun of the entire bunch. There seems to be little crossover, as each ministry aims to focus on those in their specific bracket. Could the breaking of barriers actually lead to a revitalization within church health?

• Faith Grosshans - Second in Command (Personal Equipping)

  Being “second in command” doesn't mean you cannot lead with a lasting impact. In this breakout, we will discover how influence can be just as impactful as position. We will answer questions like, how are you leading in the title God has given you? Are you leading in a posture of resentment, frustration, or negativity? Or are you a source of godly strength and encouragement for those around you? By the end of this session, we pray you leave refreshed and eager to lead in the areas you have been entrusted with.

• Faith Grosshans - What's Your Style? (Biblical Literacy)

  Have you ever sat through a teaching time that left you staring at the clock instead of the person teaching? Have you, or a teacher in your ministry, ever felt like you were met with glazed eyes and listeners who were a little too eager to be dismissed from your teaching time? We know that God’s Word is alive and active, but sometimes our teaching can cause a lesson to fall flat! Join us in discovering the seven learning styles and how to incorporate them into your teaching, the art of connecting and engaging with your curriculum, and the joy of communicating God’s Word in a manner worthy of the gospel.

• Angie Elkins - 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Starting a Ministry Driven Podcast (General/Ministry Leadership)

  Podcasts are an amazing way to amplify your ministry platform. How can a podcast multiply your impact with the women you’re ministering to? We will walk you through 5 mistakes common to brand new podcasters that set them back when starting their shows or drain their time and resources.

• Angie Elkins - 5 Steps to Finding Everyday Resilience (Personal Equipping)

  Do you find it hard to bounce back from disappointment? Do you look around you and see others living their dreams but you don’t quite know how to get unstuck from a mundane place? Maybe you’ve had to let go of a dream and you are feeling disappointed and forgotten by God. In this breakout, Angie will share how that dark and lonely place might be the best place you could be right now for God to break through and do something amazing.

• Terri Stovall - When Leading is Hard and God is Quiet (General/Ministry Leadership)

  As a ministry leader there are seasons that are more difficult than others. And sometimes, in those seasons, God seems to go quiet. This session, we will be reminded that even in the times that we don't see God's hand or hear God's voice, we can be confident of His faithfulness as we lead in hard seasons.
