9:30 - 10:05

1. Selena Stevenson
"Fearless- A Call To Go Deeper! "
Don’t allow fear to steal your destiny; I promise you, a better you is on the other side of fear. Fear’s assignments all too often hold us back from going where God has called us to go, souls He’s called us to reach, land to possess and positions of victory to occupy until He comes. Fears strip many of their God-given purpose and derail destinies. All too often we find ourselves overwhelmed, afraid, and unsure because of life’s circumstances. Fear's affects do appear ever so real; but your position in Christ, trumps fear! Fear is a lie. God is greater than the issues we face in our day to day. Our God is Greater, Larger, Taller, BIGGER than the giants in our lives. The good news is that in the Word of God, we have everything we need to successfully drop kick fear out of our lives. Those who know their God, will stand firm and take action/do exploits! It’s Time To Go Deeper! Dan. 11:32 “...but those who know their God, will stand firm and will take action.”

2. Panel Discussion
Monique Rogers, Melissa McCormick
"Parenting (Teens) with a FEARLESS heart! YOU are anointed to parent during the teen years."
Join us as we discuss parenting teens through the power of the Holy Spirit's work and practical steps given in God's Word. We also plan to have Q&A time during our session. If your children are younger, NOW is a great time to put these things into place!

3. Kelly Duncan
"Transition to Transformation to Triumph - Fearless in the Process of Transition "
From the book of Esther we see that we can be fearless as we go through the process of transition. The process can have a down side, but if you surrender to the process God is allowing you to go through, you can go from transition to transformation to triumph. God is looking for some Esthers who will be fearless in transition.

4. Judy Yonkers
"Responding with Faith in the Face of Fear, Living in the Supernatural"
How you respond determines your outcome. Faith operates in the boundaries of what Jesus has already made available. You cannot use your faith to make something happen that has not already been done. Faith doesn’t create; Faith takes and brings into manifestation what Jesus has already created! In this workshop we will see examples in The Word of God and you will understand that Your days of insufficiency are over, your days of sickness are over, your days of lack are over, because a faith response will always release supernatural manifestations in your life.

5. Kevie Anderson
"Train Yourself to Change Your Thinking From 911 Emergency to Psalm 91:1 Protection Over You and Your Family’s Lives."

1. Rose Armstrong
"COURAGEOUS - BRAVE"
Ever been confronted with obstacles and situations that both scares you and challenges you? What kind of picture does that situation paint in front of you? Do you feel like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz, with no courage at all or do you sometimes feel like David when he fought the battle with Goliath? Yea, I can relate. Let’s learn from a Fearless Woman that looked death in the eye, set herself on a journey of faith.

2. Panel Discussion
Serena DeVries, Cathi VanDonkelaar, Schar McKinnon

3. Stephanie Green
"Discovering the Power of Your Testimony"
Everyone of us has stood in front of our personal Goliath's, giants of insecurity, failure, and fear. God has given us the tools we need to find victory in seemingly impossible situations. We can find our breakthrough if we can dig through our past victories that led up to this moment. What are the lions and the bears in your life?

4. Delores Cole

Session 3
12:10 - 12:40

1. Kelli VanDonkelaar
"Beating Comparison & Fear"
We live in a day of hyper-comparison thanks to social media and our voyeuristic society. This comparison often fuels fear and insecurity in our lives. The fear and insecurity often keeps us from forming the deep connections that we long for; it keeps us from the joy God intended for us to walk in; and it keeps us stuck in the same place. We are going to examine why and how we fall into that trap but then we will look to the Word of God for our answers. We will look at how to flip comparison on its head so it can actually bring out your best, how to forge the deep connections that we all long for, and how to find joy in the truth. Let’s practically confront the root of many fears so we can live fearlessly!

2. Panel Discussion
Maureen Ford, Judy Blackledge
"Thankfulness, the Key to Victory"
1Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks in everything for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us. Come join us for a conversation about some practical examples of living a life of thanksgiving. In prayer, in praise, and in our daily comings and goings, how can we maintain a thankful heart? Being thankful helps build our faith which wipes out fear and will cause us to be victorious.

3. Shavaun Savage
"Too Anointed to RETREAT but Anointed to WIN"
Scriptures are: Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Have you ever wondered how to defeat fear? Have you ever been challenged by satan's tactics? Be encouraged! God has not given us fear!!! We have POWER and AUTHORITY that our Father gives us as our BIRTH Rite! We will OPERATE in that AUTHORITY. BELIEVE you are FEARLESS!!! The confidence we have in Christ will defeat fear and replace it with the super natural strength to SOAR above as the EAGLES we are.

4. Kathy Porter
"Fearless in Waiting"
Have you ever had to wait for something that you truly needed and thought would never arrive? What does it mean to wait on something or someone? How about waiting on God? How do you approach waiting on God for your prayers to be answered? If this is something that concerns you, come join us as we seek to know how to be Fearless in Waiting.

5. Deb Null
"We are all Cracked Pots!"
Bad decisions, mistakes, loss of love, divorce, death of a loved one, fired from a job, rejection, cheated on, abortion, abused, miscarriage, and failures. These circumstances can bring grief, hopelessness, and a tremendous feeling of defeat.
Romans 3:23 says; “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.” Yes, you have been cracked, chipped, or even completely broken, but do not lose H.O.P.E. - (Hold On & Pray Expectantly.) God is the master potter and we are the clay; and if we allow, He can take our unique flaws, our shattered pieces and mold them into a completely new beautiful pottery. You CAN embrace WISDOM, and the HOPE for renewed life and happiness. The Craftsman’s Hands can mold you from Grief to Grace, from Defeat to Victory, from Sadness to Joy!

Session 4
12:50 - 1:20

1. Dr. Beverly Cole-Bennett
"Fulfilling My Purpose and Reaching My Goals "
This session is designed to: 1. Identify what is behind the fear that stops you from fulfilling your purpose and reaching your goals and 2. Becoming aware of the triggers that lead to fearful situations and learning how
to counteract them.

2a. (2-part workshop)
Panel Discussion
Sue Anderson, Katie Chrysler
Sara Karnes-Johnson
"Is Fear Holding You Back From Reaching Your Destiny?"
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

3. Vanessa Davis
"Grace Enough to be Fearless"
Gen 3:8-10: God called to Adam and Adam hid himself. When asked why he hid, he told God “I was afraid...”. Fear entered man’s life right after sin & disobedience did. Sin (the separation from God) is why we fear. The good news is Romans 5:19-20 informs us that “where sin abounded, GRACE abounded much more”. Grace saved us from sin and its consequences (Ephesians 2:8). In this session, we will gain a deeper understanding of God’s amazing grace and how He lavishes us with “grace enough to be fearless!”

4. Tami Nederhoed
"Fearless Women Crush Chaos"
Just as the giant Goliath taunted and mocked the army of Israel across the Valley of Elah for forty days, wreaking chaos and fear among Saul and his mighty men - we too have giants in our own lives that can seem too big and too powerful for us to conquer. Like Saul and his army, we can let those giants intimidate us to immobility, succumbing to our insecurities and fears allowing our enemy to wreak havoc and create chaos all around us. Or, we can be like David , who after hearing the taunts from Goliath himself and seeing with his own eyes how big that giant was, fearlessly and confidently said “The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the bear will deliver me from the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine!” David took down Goliath with a seemingly insignificant smooth stone from a brook and his faith and reliance on the Lord. He crushed the chaos. In this session we will learn how to fearlessly face our giants, taking back the territory the enemy thinks he’s stolen from us. Lace up your boots ladies - let’s be fearless and crush the chaos!

5. Katrina Ford
"Fearlessly Equipping Our Children for the Days Ahead"
We must fight for our children spiritually. We cannot sit back and just hope that our children turn out to be "good" people who love Jesus - NO, we must equip ourselves and teach them to equip themselves and fight alongside them for their own personal relationship with Christ.

Session 5
1:30 - 2:00

1. Lady Tolbert
"The Only Way to be Fearless is by FAITH"
You get rid of fear in your life only by replacing it with faith! When faith comes, fear goes! Fear leaves AFTER faith comes!

2b. Panel Discussion
Sue Anderson, Katie Chrysler, Sara Karnes-Johnson
Question & Answer Session for Young Ladies
Be prepared to ask any questions you may have dealing with life in general. Is something holding you back from reaching your destiny? Why am I here? Does Jesus really love me? These three beautiful ladies, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will reveal wisdom and revelation to your questions. Come see the Holy Spirit move on your behalf.

3. Christy Russell
"It’s time to Rise, Go and Conquer! "
He has called us to be Fearless, Focused and Fervent. Psalm 108:13 (NLT) says “With God we will do mighty things, for He will trample down our foes.” As For me, I believe there is no giant too big, no mountain too high....there is nothing impossible for our God! He has empowered, equipped and called us to be “more than conquerors”. I declare 2018 is going to be an amazing year of VICTORY. Let’s dare to DREAM and BELIEVE!

4. Jen Wagonmaker
"The Blessings of Order"
Proverbs 24: 3-4 "Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are fueled with all precious and pleasant riches".
With every new year, we are given the opportunity to evaluate our lives to see what's out of sync. Some of us have more work to do than others, but there's always the ability to get a fresh start. In this breakout session we'll be talking about the importance of getting ALL things in order so that we can accomplish the assignments God has prepared us for to accomplish. You'll also be given practical tools on how to maintain order even when you face the upcoming hardships of 2018.

5. Sandra Liphard
"Fearless to Teach Our Children Against the Odds, to Stand Up for Christ"
Children can have the Words of Christ dwelling on the inside of them to affect their sphere of influence in our neighborhoods and schools. Practical, intentional applications of using the highest commodity, our time, to equip our children by books, songs, teaching and application. These children are the future of the church, and need to be courageous in the midst of every situation.
