This breakout will help participants see realistic, day to day areas of conflict as opportunities for grace, repentance, and forgiveness, and participants will walk away with practical tips on how to come together, instead of break apart, in the midst of conflict.

In this breakout, we will help women apply biblical principles and wisdom to the topics of technology and social media use.

Unfading Beauty: Cultivating a Biblical View of Character and Beauty – Our culture has a very strong message to women about beauty, that does not always line up with God’s vision and perspective. In this breakout, we will discuss the role of beauty in the Christian woman’s life and how to cultivate true beuaty by focusing on character formation, over mere outward appearance.

This session will help students see what it looks like to receive godly counsel from people who love them, and how their response to counsel impacts their walk with Jesus.
