Breakout Session: Shanta Fields

Topic: Following God's Plan...Not My Plan

Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14

Session Description
To truly follow God’s plan for our lives we must leave some things behind. God is calling you to leave behind our own limited dreams/plans, our comfort, our desire for control, or anything that hinders us from fully walking in His will. It’s an invitation to trust in His greater purpose for our lives, knowing that what He calls us to leave behind will always lead to something better. 

What might God be calling you to leave?

Breakout Session: Dr. Ashley English

Topic: Wardrobe Change: Taking Off the Old, Putting on the New

Scripture: Colossians 3

Session Description
As spring approaches, we tend to think about spring cleaning and exchanging our winter clothes for pastels, sundresses, and warmer weather. Similarly, as we grow in Christ we become keenly aware that we need to shed old habits and make room for new ones. Unlike changing our clothes, however, we cannot change spiritually on our own. We need help! This session explores how we can partner with God to make a spiritual wardrobe change. Bring your vulnerability, honesty, and heart to this conversation as we step into the fullness of all God has for His daughters by putting on spiritual attire customized for us!
