CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
The Shifting Experience
Friday night sets the tone for everything. The Shifting Experience is an evening designed to move you — spiritually, emotionally, and expectantly. Led by Pastor Sabrina Smith, this session creates space for women to encounter God at the threshold of change. Before the weekend unfolds, come ready to be stirred, opened, and positioned for the divine shifts ahead.
Embracing Change & Transition
Isaiah 43:19 God is always doing something new — but recognizing it requires releasing what we've held onto in fear. This session will encourage women to open their eyes to God's movement in seasons of change and transition. Through the truth of Isaiah 43:19, women will be inspired to let go of fear, trust God's direction, and step forward with confidence into the new thing He is already doing.
Resilience & Perseverance
Jeremiah 17:7–8 Rooted women don't just survive the storm — they flourish through it. Drawing from the anchor scripture of the conference, this session is a powerful reminder that staying grounded in God produces resilience that circumstances cannot shake. Women will be encouraged to press forward with endurance, embrace spiritual growth in difficult seasons, and trust that the fruit of perseverance is already on the way.
Faith in Action
Proverbs 3:5–6 Faith isn't just something we believe — it's something we walk in. This session moves women from intention to obedience, from planning to surrender. Through Proverbs 3:5–6, women will be challenged to fully trust God with their plans, step boldly into every divine shift, and allow Him to direct their paths with confidence. This is where faith becomes movement.
