Edit Your Thoughts

Edit People-Pleasing

Edit Distractions
Sarah McCaslin | 312
We know that God is always enough, but His presence isn't changing us from the inside out because we are a distracted culture. In this workshop, learn biblical wisdom on how to change perspective, say NO to the things that really don't matter, and say a bigger YES to His presence.
Edit Your Words
Tammy Buhr | Chapel
When we walk out of a room and always leave tension behind, this may be a sign we need to address the way we speak. The Gospel should transform our words, and in doing so should breathe life into all those around us. Dive into how our speech can be controlled by the power of the Spirit.
Breakout Sessions Block Two
Focus on Aging Gracefully
Kerry Barajas | 314
God has equipped you to flourish. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this truth. This session hopes to equip you with a biblical view of aging and remind you that the gospel is "big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.”
Focus on God-Given Limits
Chris Whitcomb | 402
Part of God's plan for a life of joyful service. Limits in various forms are a constant in life. Seeing these limits as part of God's sovereign design and part of a life of joyful service helps us keep our focus on Him and all the wonderful things HE wants to accomplish in and through us.
Focus on Community
Amy Davis | 312
Relationships feel risky and hard. But we are created and built for community. We are called to more than halfhearted friendships and lukewarm connections. In this workshop, you'll dive into what Christian friendship could look like—how you can be this friend to others and how you can have these friendships too!
Focus on Hope
Kim Erickson | 400
Learn how to navigate seasons of grief from the life of a woman who has faithfully walked through the unthinkable.
Focus on Others
Courtney Edwards | 404
The Bible emphasizes our holy and redeeming God meeting people in the margins of society. He drew near the very people that society and the religious elite disdained. What might it look like for us to reflect God’s heart for the stranger? Learn to make your life an irresistible message about what it means to live for the gospel—to stop talking about faith and truly start living it.
Focus on Holy Living
Maggie Likins | Chapel
God did not command us to be holy, then walk away with a “good luck.” Instead, Scripture shows how we can pursue and live a holy life. (Pssssssst: It’s the most liberating way to live!)
