You Lead Leadership Training

Have you been called to lead women in your local church? Whether you are starting from scratch or in the process of rebuilding, this session will guide you through some basics in assessing your situation and moving forward. Learn principles from the book of Nehemiah and see how the why of ministering to women hasn't changed – the methods have. 

Why does the last couple of years seem like we have been walking through a fog? Did we really live through all the deaths, openings and closings of businesses, schools, churches, etc.? What’s the latest about a mask—on or off! In this breakout session, Melody will share some of the much-needed lessons she has learned while continuing to live in a COVID-19 world. It has been a joy to be reminded while we were sheltered in, we were never sheltered out from God.

Have you felt God calling you into a leadership role? Now what? Maybe you felt the call many years ago and it has not come to fruition yet or you may be in the throes of that very calling. No matter where you find yourself, together we will unpack your call to a Person, a Purpose, a Passion, and a People, encouraging you to walk with intentionality before God and your team—always abounding in the work of the Lord.

Through this conference session you will see the importance of establishing a well-rounded team and enlisting like-minded people, who are not exactly “mini-me’s.” You will learn how to identify and enlist those who have the same passion but different giftedness which in turn will make your team successful. My prayer is that through this session you will gain the importance that a servant attitude brings—one that every follower looks for in a good leader. Plus, the importance of stewarding your ministry and others.

You know that you should forgive but how do you forgive when you have been hurt, rejected, disappointed or mistreated? This breakout session will discuss what it means to forgive, the benefits of forgiving and provide keys to walking in forgiveness. 

We would all agree that discipling teen girls is a vital need inside the church, but when you throw out the term "girls ministry", it begins to feel unnecessary or even burdensome. That's because there are so many myths surrounding what girls ministry is and who actually is needed for girls ministry. But if we unpack the truth that girls ministry is really just teen girls discipleship, we will see that everyone (mom, dad, pastor, girls minister, women's minister) has an important role to step into. Come discover how simple it really is to make girls ministry happen right where you are.

Prayer and patience were markers of the early Christian Church. Prayer and patience were a way of living and distinguished Christians from other people. Jesus prioritized prayer above the clamor of pressing leadership responsibilities. And God is patiently working across the centuries to accomplish His mission. Both prayer and patience demonstrate a transformation deep in the soul of the believers that changes our words, attitudes, and attitudes as leaders and women of God.

You are a passionate and devoted leader, how do you balance marriage and ministry? Are you feeling like you are not giving enough to ministry or marriage? In this session, we will explore creative ways to maintain your marriage while succeeding in leadership.

The greatest leaders are the closest followers of the one true Leader. How we lead is determined by how well we follow. We must follow Christ first and learn from the earthly leaders God places in our lives. Although some may not be good examples, we can learn from both. The ability to discern good leadership helps us lead others more productively. Who you follow matters—who follows you counts!

You may not consider yourself a biblical scholar, but most ministry leaders have the desire to handle Scripture well. Why is theology important to your leadership and those you lead? This breakout will help you understand that good theology is important for every woman.

Have you ever thought about what matters to God? Sometimes we have to be reminded about the things that really MATTER. We may say that things matter to us, but do our actions say that they matter? This breakout session will challenge you to evaluate your current priorities and give more attention to the Word of God.
