Our team is so excited that we are just a couple of months away from Lifeway Women’s Leadership Forum! We like to say that Forum is the ultimate destination training event. It’s two days full of general sessions, worship, interactive breakouts, networking, good food, and lots of fun connecting with other women like you!
One thing that sets Forum apart from other leadership conferences is the breakout sessions. With over twenty options to choose from, you can customize your experience to meet the needs of your leadership position or ministry. Everyone’s leadership calling looks different! Whatever responsibilities you are balancing, you will be able to find the best breakouts to lead with confidence wherever God has called you.
Check out some of the breakouts you can expect below:
Bridging the Gap: Overcoming Differences to Love People and Share Jesus
Rachel Lovingood
In this divided and uncertain world people need the trustworthy hope that we have in the Lord. Yet many Christians struggle with engaging the lost and unchurched around us. God’s Word is clear that we are to reach out to those without Christ, but it can be tough and uncomfortable. Discover practical principles to be intentional about loving your neighbors for the sake of the gospel, even when they are nothing like you.
More Than Words: The Practice of Prayer that Changes Your Life, Family, and Ministry
Kandi Gallaty
Do you ever feel stuck in your prayer life? Often, we find ourselves repeating the same words and phrases but have a desire to experience a deeper walk with the Lord through prayer. Kandi will discuss practical steps, a few personal stories and the power of prayer. Prayer isn’t perfect; it’s practice.
Truth You Can Trust: Standing Firm in a World of Deconstruction
Marian Jordan Ellis
In a time when many are walking away from faith, questioning Scripture, and deconstructing their beliefs, the ancient words of the apostle Peter ring with fresh urgency. In his final letter, Peter calls believers to hold fast to the truth that is trustworthy—not because it’s comfortable, but because it’s rooted in the eyewitness testimony of Christ and the prophetic Word of God. This message will explore the timely wisdom of 2 Peter for a generation tempted to trade revelation for relativism. We’ll uncover why God’s Word remains the unshakable foundation for life and godliness, how to spot destructive lies disguised as freedom, and how to lovingly help others rebuild their faith on truth. In a culture of doubt, we are invited to live anchored, with discernment, and boldly—because the truth of Jesus will never collapse.
Make Us One: Conversations for Women on Racial Unity
Adrianna Anderson
We live in an explosive culture where anything goes and where wrong is right and right is wrong. This mindset has permeated our society and repeatedly denies the existence of God, morality, values, family, and gender identity while continuing to question the validity of Christianity. This session will look at biblical ways to lovingly and confidently apply the practical knowledge of apologetics to remove roadblocks that hinder conversations with unbelievers in the world today, and to be able to give a reason for the hope that lies within us (1 Pet. 3:15).The issues surrounding race in the church and culture are topics that must be discussed in a healthy Christ like manner. God has called us to live in harmony and in unity with one another, and His Word has a lot to say about this topic. This session will allow a safe place to have honest biblical conversations about issues on racial unity.
Made Worthy: Discover Your Significance
Mary Margaret West
To truly know our worth, we must first understand that Jesus is the only One who can make us worthy. Nothing we can do on our own will ever measure up. We don’t have to earn Jesus’s love to know that He loves us. In fact, because He is the One who has made us worthy, we can live boldly as an example of what true worth looks like. We can quit trying to check every box and rest in the One who made us and sees us. We will look at Scripture to see how Jesus alone makes us worthy.
