BECAUSE HE LIVES: I AM REDEEMED Jesus Christ makes a difference in terms of the redeeming and transforming of our lives. His redemption is both an
event (cross and resurrection) and a journey (changed from glory to glory.) Because we have a God who is the same yesterday, today and forever, we
can expect and invite Him to keep on redeeming the broken pieces of our lives.
R iver
jordan
River Jordan shares her incredible journey of a year of “Praying for Strangers.” For a
full year, River kept a resolution to pray for a different stranger every day. While her
sons were both deployed to war zones, River focused daily on complete strangers instead of the concerns of her own
heart. When not traveling the back roads of America, River lives with her husband and their Great Pyrenees lap dog, Titan,
in Nashville, Tennessee.
EMBRACING DIVINE ENCOUNTERS With humor and compassion River Jordan shares stories from her best-selling book, Praying for Strangers, and
illuminates the incredible ways that God uses our everyday moments to reach people in extraordinary ways.
Set Apart Conference | March 3 & 4, 2017
Imperfectionist in Training
Jen Burmeister & Kimber Sullivan
The image of a perfect life, perfect relationships, a perfect self...
it is all too alluring, but God has something more for us. As
recovering perfectionists, we invite you to experience the freedom
we find as God reveals the truth about the lie of perfect. Listen
in as we share health struggles, relationship expectations, goals
achieved and failed...and the surprise twist of twin motherhood
in both of our lives as a centerpiece for God's grace. Come
and discover "imperfectionism" as a key to the gospel and our
desperate need for a Savior, our only hope of true perfection.
Living a Better Story
Melissa Larson
As a wife, mother, and teacher, I am continually challenged with
what it means to live an authentic life in Christ. I believe it begins
with humility, seeking the heart of God and choosing to live out
all that He calls us to be. It involves understanding our personal
story and surrendering those experiences to be used for God’s
redemptive purposes. If your desire is to live out your calling with
great effectiveness as you reflect the love of Jesus to a seeking
world, this workshop is for you! Based on John 14:19b and Psalm
62:1-2.
The Power of Story
Dodie Davis
Learning to craft and tell an "unforgettable" story brings
rewarding results. Jesus often used stories to teach truth. Story
is an effective tool in every area of life--the home, evangelism,
church ministry, missions and the business world. We all are
storytellers. We only need to learn some simple steps for
creating "unforgettable" stories. In this workshop you will
learn these steps, and have a chance to practice developing an
"unforgettable" story.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit
Satise Roddy
God has purposed us to do great things for His glory and He never
meant for us to do it alone. We must realize we cannot do the
work of God without the power of God. Our desire should be to
experience the fullness of His power being aware of the presence
and purpose of the Holy Spirit within our hearts. The best gift our
hearts can receive is the gift promised by the Lord to His children-the gift of the Holy Spirit. He has graced us with what we need.
Scripture reference, John 14:15-18.
Talking to Your Kids about Sex & Sexuality
Jennifer Dougan
Whether our kids are toddlers, elementary-age, high school
or college, it’s vital to offer Christian perspectives and to have
healthy, honest conversations about our bodies, gender, sexuality,
marriage and purity. Much more than an awkward "birds
and bees" discussion, healthy sexuality is a natural series of
conversations over the years. Walk away with practical "What to
say When" guides, based on God's word, psychological research,
and Jennifer Dougan's 20+ years of youth and church ministry.
Clutter Free Simplicity
Angie Ryg
With four children, Angie’s life has often been one of chaos,
but through planning, practical ideas, and focusing on God’s
promises, Angie found how to create clutter-free simplicity in her
heart and home. Because God lives, we have the power to create
change in our lives in order to fulfill the purpose God has chosen
for us. Through proven de-cluttering techniques, we can reclaim
our homes and replace chaos and discontentment with a life of
clutter free-simplicity!
Discipline that Connects
Jim & Lynne Jackson
Disciplining children well is tougher in today’s world than ever.
When parents are not thoughtful, any myriad of troubles can
grow. “Discipline that Connects” is a profound and practical
way to think about discipline that has empowered thousands of
parents to be wiser and more effective when they discipline. This
workshop is filled with practical examples and skits, is deeply
biblical, immediately useful, and will change your life and your
child’s life for good!
Debunking the Cliché, "God won't give you more than
you can handle."
Cathy Solomon
Have you ever experienced being overwhelmed by life’s
circumstances? Our struggles can be exacerbated with self-shame
and frustration at God when things get beyond our control. The
well-intended cliché "God won't give you more than you can
handle," is a misinterpretation of Bible verses. This workshop will
look at what is behind this common saying, provide hope of God's
presence amidst struggles, and equip us with helpful words to
share with those experiencing tough times.
Because He Lives! Worship Through Hymns
Tammie Junkans
Celebrate the abundant life Jesus gives by singing His story. We
will spend an hour worshiping God through hymns old and new,
including the opportunity to request your favorites. Reflecting on
God’s promises and blessings in the hymns we know and love will
be uplifting and renewing. “Glorify the Lord with me, and let us
exalt His name together!" (Psalm 34:3 NIV)
Your Marriage From Good to Great!
George & Joan Kenworthy
In this workshop, we will explore in detail Paul’s relationship
advice recorded in Ephesians 4:25-32. In addition, George and
Joan will share practical advice about what has worked and not
worked in their marriage. Those who attend the workshop will
leave with a contract to help resolve conflict. Attendees will
receive biblical and practical advice on how to communicate more
effectively, how to avoid emotional escalation, how to avoid taking
a swing at our spouse, and how we can learn to forgive like Jesus!
A Confident Heart
Susan VanDenHeubel
The Bible teaches us in Phil. 3:3, "...have no confidence in the
flesh." As Daughters of the King, we want to put our confidence
in Christ, not ourselves or anything on this side of heaven. When
we truly understand who we are in Him, we gain confidence. He
says we are the righteousness of Christ, that we are highly loved,
been chosen, forgiven, and redeemed. He says we have incredible
value and worth in Him. Every woman's heart needs to hear these
truths!
