Women’s Faith in Focus Mini-Conference

Can Christianity Be Both Loving and True?
Cultural Apologetics
How do we respond when Christianity is viewed as judgmental, harmful, or out of touch? This session will explore some of the biggest challenges people wrestle with when it comes to faith and Scripture. You’ll be encouraged and equipped to engage conversations with wisdom, humility, and confidence while helping others see the heart of Christ more clearly.

Helping Women in Hard Places
Practical Ministry
Women in our churches are often navigating painful circumstances behind the scenes. As friends and fellow believers, we may feel unprepared to step into those situations with confidence and care. Together, we’ll discuss common challenges women face, practical ways to offer care and encouragement, and how the church can become a safe place for honest struggle and healing.

Can I Say That? How to Not Regret Your Words 5 Minutes Later
Bible & Theology
Have you ever replayed a conversation and wished you could take your words back? From difficult conversations to everyday interactions, our speech deeply affects our relationships and witness. This session will explore biblical wisdom for communication, helping us learn how to move beyond reactive communication and toward speech that reflects the heart and wisdom of God.

How to Lead an Outreach Bible Study
Missions & Outreach
Bible study is a powerful and relational way to introduce friends, neighbors, and coworkers to the gospel. In this session, you’ll discover how to lead an outreach-focused Bible study that provides a welcoming space for honest questions and conversations around God’s transformative Word.

Caring for Aging Parents with Grace and Wisdom
Practical Ministry
Many women find themselves stepping into the role of caregiver for aging parents, often without feeling fully prepared for all it entails. This session will provide practical guidance and compassionate encouragement for navigating the complexities of caregiving while continuing to honor and love your parents well. A Q&A time will allow space for honest questions and shared wisdom.

Next Generation Discipleship in an LGBTQ+ World
Cultural Apologetics
Culture is speaking loudly to the next generation about identity, sexuality, and self-definition. As believers, how can we respond in ways that are both truthful and deeply loving? In this breakout session, we’ll consider practical ways to disciple children, students, and young adults with biblical conviction and compassionate care in an increasingly complex cultural landscape.

Loving My LGBTQ+ Neighbor
Missions & Outreach
Many of us struggle with knowing how to extend love and grace to the LGBTQ+ community without compromising our biblical convictions. When a student in your child’s class begins a gender transition, a colleague asks everyone to refer to her by male pronouns, or a relative comes out as gay, what does a loving response look like? In this breakout, we’ll consider how we can move toward our neighbors who identify as LGBTQ+ with Christ-like love.

The Emotional Life of a Teen: Understanding Adolescent Mental Health
Practical Ministry
We’re living through a teen mental illness epidemic, as adolescents self-report record levels of sadness, loneliness, and anxiety. And teens growing up in Christian homes aren’t immune to this epidemic. In this session, we’ll talk about some root issues, social media/social stressors, and stressors that come straight from their homes/schools.

Called to More: Living with Purpose in Life’s Next Chapter
Spiritual Growth
Life’s transitions can feel like an ending — but in God’s hands, they are often a beginning. Whether you are stepping into retirement, adjusting to an empty nest, or navigating an unexpected change, this new season is not a closing chapter but an invitation to something more. God’s purpose for your life has not diminished — it is unfolding in fresh and meaningful ways. This session will encourage you to embrace God’s ongoing calling, recognize the opportunities right in front of you, and step confidently into a life of purpose, service, and community. Your “next chapter” is not about slowing down — it is about being called forward.

Savoring Simplicity: Finding Contentment in a Culture of More
Spiritual Growth  
Everyday, we’re inundated with images and messages of things we must have, must do, or must be. How do we distinguish between what’s beneficial, harmful, or just excessive? In a culture that values materialism and money, is it possible to be content with what we have? This session will encourage and equip us to embrace the reality that Jesus is enough.

Companions for the Journey: Navigating Adult Friendships
Practical Ministry 
Friendships often look different in adulthood than we imagined they would. Unmet expectations, changing seasons of life, loneliness, and past hurt can all make connection feel difficult. Sometimes we may need to find new enriching friendships to sustain us. Join us as we discuss the joys, challenges, and practical rhythms of creating and navigating friendship with honesty, grace, and intentionality.

Theology of Work: Seeing Your Vocation Through the Lens of Scripture
Bible & Theology
Many women struggle to connect their faith with the realities of everyday work. Some feel overlooked, exhausted, unfulfilled, or unsure whether their work truly matters. This breakout session will explore how Scripture gives dignity and purpose to all kinds of work and how God uses our vocations to serve others, reflect His character, and participate in His redemptive work in the world.

Take Heart: How God Meets Us in Our Suffering
Spiritual Growth
What do we do when God feels silent in the midst of pain? This breakout explores how we understand God during seasons of suffering through Scripture, personal testimony, and honest conversation about grief, loss, and hope. Together, we’ll consider how God meets us in our hardest moments, how He brings redemption even through deep pain, and what we can hold onto when life feels uncertain.”

How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being “That Person”)
Missions & Outreach
Many of us want to talk about Jesus more openly, but we worry about coming across as awkward, pushy, or “that person.” In this session, we’ll talk about what it looks like to share our faith naturally and genuinely in everyday conversations. You don’t need a perfect testimony, all the answers, or a scripted presentation. We’ll explore practical ways to talk about what Jesus has done in your life with confidence, humility, and grace.

So…What is Heaven Really Like?
Bible & Theology
Most of us have absorbed more ideas about heaven from movies, artwork, and pop culture than from Scripture itself. Is heaven just clouds, harps, and continuous singing? What happens after we die? And what does the Bible actually promise about eternity? In this session, we’ll move beyond common myths and take a grounded, hopeful look at what Scripture really says about heaven, resurrection, and the renewal of all things. Together, we’ll discover why a biblical view of eternity changes how we face grief, suffering, purpose, and everyday life right now.
