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. 

As we emerge from an unexpected season of worldwide sickness, what should we do next? What should our ministries to women look like? Do we have answers, solutions, or even the right methods to minister to the aftermath of COVID-19? Certainly, no one has all the answers as this time has been one of trial and error. However, we can look at current data and the way we have ministered in the past to develop a post pandemic ministry that will matter! Join us.

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.

In our churches, perhaps more than ever, the differences between generations are evident, and often problematic. In this breakout session we will examine key influencers that distinguish each generation in order to better understand one another. Then, realizing the beauty of those differences, we will be better equipped to work alongside one another and bring glory to God.

Do you ever feel that if you want something done right, you must do it yourself? Perhaps that’s helpful in the short-term, but in the long-term weariness will set in and growth will stifle. Scripture teaches us the importance of doing the work of the ministry together. The church is designed to encourage each member to exercise God-given gifts to build the Kingdom.

Grief is inescapable! We are expected to be a source of comfort and assurance for others, but what happens when the leader is grief-stricken? Can she still guide others? Should she guide others? The Bible has the answers to these questions. 

In 1 Peter 5:7 we are told to “cast all our cares on [Jesus] because he cares for you”. What does that look like practically? Of course there is prayer, but there is also the little known or understood practice of lament. When we learn to lament, we learn to give voice to our suffering. In this session we will explore some of the powerful laments in Scripture and then practice creating a lament of our own.

While we love completing studies that have been written by others, anyone can learn to study the Bible on their own. This session will encourage you to discover various methods of studying Scripture whether it's looking at a specific topic, passage, person, or more. Come ready to open your Bible and discover how to mine the truths of God's word on your own. 

"Study your Bible!" they say. But how? Join this interactive session as we walk through a proven Bible study method. Grab your favorite Bible, journal, and/or note taking device, and get ready to study!

As ministry leaders, we can find ourselves seated across from a struggling sister in Christ wondering what to do or what to say. This breakout session aims to remove fear and uncertainty about what to do in those situations and provide a clear, but simple, way to engage and encourage those we minister to.

Does the Bible really have an answer for the issues we face today? To develop theologically strong disciples who know how to rightly apply what the Bible says to their lives, we must create opportunities for women to know what they believe and why it matters. Join us in discussing the necessary building blocks for forming disciples who stand strong in their faith and live consistently surrendered to God because of their understanding of what the Bible says about God, His Word, and the world.
