Lisa Brenninkmeyer: Hallelujah Anyway: Finding Peace Despite

Anxiety
Recent research shows that almost 40% of Americans are more anxious now than they
were at this time last year. Anxiety affects 1 in 8 children in the US and 18% of adults. If
you don't personally struggle with it, then someone close to you does. Is it possible to
find good in this current state of reality without sticking your head in the sand? Join us
as we delve into this important topic. You'll leave feeling better equipped to discuss it,
face it, and move forward. When God promised His people a peace that passes
understanding, He didn't say, unless you live in 21st Century America. This is a profound
issue and the questions surrounding it aren't easily answered. But together, we can
move forward to a place of emotional rest and spiritual security.

Rachel Bulman: Finding Peace Through Becoming

Rachel will talk about how we find peace by becoming who we are...through our
identities as daughters, spouse, and motherhood. We simultaneously exist as the image
of God and grow in that likeness. How do we find peace through being (the static
existence of who we are) and then becoming (the constant flowering of the human
person) who we are called to be through these patterns of the human person? Hint:
Whether you are a physical mother or not, whether you are married or single, every
single one of these identities are yours to be had today and you are called to find peace
within each one.

Kimberly Cook: Motherhood Redeemed: How Radical Feminism

Betrayed Maternal Love

Devanie Marie Cooper: Finding Spiritual Peace Amid the Storms of
Life: Lessons from the life of St. Edith Stein
Overwhelmed by the chaos and storms of life? Be at peace, "There is only one thing
necessary" (Luke 10:42). The Prince of Peace desires to be present to you and reign in
your heart. Pope John Paul II canonized a modern woman, Edith Stein, saying she would
be an example for those of us who live in "radically challenging times." She persevered
through storms such as the the death of family and friends, obstacles professionally
and academically, deep depression, converting to a faith her family did not understand,
keeping up with a challenging work and personal life where tasks existed more than
time, two world wars, waiting for ten years joyfully for the desire of her heart, entering
and living in one of the most austere religious communities within the Church, and
finally persecution and martyrdom by the state. For eight years before her eventual
martyrdom she travelled to women's conferences (even giving radio appearances) in
her day sharing a truth about finding peace amidst the storms of life. Come to know her
instruction to women on this matter and receive two lessons from the example of her
life.

the spirit of fear.

Carrie Daunt: Finding Peace in the Mysteries of Motherhood

Motherhood is not for the faint of heart. Everyday, moms encounter situations and
circumstances that induce anxiety and create stress. Often we are tempted to believe
that we are the only one that struggles with the many demands of our vocation. The
truth is we are not alone. Through the mysteries of Mary's maternity each one of us is
invited to journey with her to a place of deeper peace in our motherhood.
January Donovan: Changing a Woman's Worth, One Woman at at
Time
Our self worth determines how we make decisions now, and in the future. It shapes
how we choose who we allow in our life and the boundaries we create. It determines
how we dream, how we look at our failures and how we get back up. The goal is to see
where you placed conditions on your self worth and how it is impacting your
relationships, your dreams and how you show up to the world. I will show you how your
self worth has been shaped and what you can do to begin the journey of healing
through rewiring your brain. The goal is for you to no longer live by the external
opinions and false expectations, rather to live from a place of freedom, knowing you are
intimately loved by God.

"If we really want to LOVE we must learn how to FORGIVE" Mother Teresa Recognize
what you might be doing instead of forgiving...and why...-Discover your role in God's
work of healing in your life. Learn to practice daily the sacrifice of forgiving through a
simple but powerful prayer. It is freeing to become aware that we do not have to be
victims of our past and can learn new ways of responding. But there is a step beyond
this recognition. It is the step of forgiving. Forgiving is love practiced among people who
love poorly. It sets us free without wanting anything in return. Henri Nouwen.

Melissa Foley: Do You Struggle to Give God Control?

Perhaps you feel like there are two parts of you one part that wishes to surrender
struggles, people, and situations into God's hands, and the part that is like a command-
and-control station in your head. Have you ever considered underneath control is a
doubt you have about God? Will He really take care of me? Is He trustworthy? Does he
even care about what happens in my life? Join me today as we "dive" into the "Abyss" of
surrender! ;-)

readily accept the give of peace from God.

Joel Hawbaker: 5 Conversations for Blended Families

Blended families are just different than traditional families: they're more complex in
their structure, their histories, and their logistics. However, just because they're
complex doesn't mean you can't have peace! Blended families are present throughout
the Bible, and God's word guides blended families as much as traditional ones. One of
the most important ways to work toward peace in your blended family is to have key
discussions early and often in your relationship. So, whether you're thinking of creating
a blended family through marriage, new to a blended family, or have been in one for
years, consider having these discussions with your partner and with your co-parent (the
other household) on a regular basis. 1) Personal Issues 2) Scheduling Issues 3)
Parenting Issues 4) Inter-family Issues 5) The Et Cetera By having these discussions early
and then coming back to them as the children grow up, you are laying a foundation for
communication and success for your blended family!

Erin Ingold: How our Thoughts Impact Peace
We often tend to blame our circumstances for our lack of peace. But, what if the peace
that we experience was determined by our thoughts about the circumstance, and not
the circumstance itself? It would certainly place a lot more responsibility back on us.
And what if our thoughts could create a greater and more receptive disposition to
receive God's peace that surpasses all understanding? In this talk we will answer all of
these questions and discuss many of the ways that our thoughts impact the peace that
we experience!

demons. Jesus sets her free and brings her into a place of grace and peace. She never

Galilee, she is faithful all the way to Calvary and the tomb. Finally the Lord commissions
her as the "apostle to the apostles," the first witness of his Resurrection. The talk leads

encounter with Jesus, walking through ancient Magdala, and ultimately to one's own
personal encounter with the Lord.

Colleen Mitchell: Who Does He Say You Are? Women Transformed by
Christ in the Gospels

roles we play, society's vision of who we should be. It can be easy to find our hearts

Steve Ray: Jesus and the Woman at the Well

The disciples were surprised that Jesus was talking to such a troubled woman who had
to come to the well at noon when it was hot, to avoid the other women who came in the
morning and evening on it was cool. Jesus had a "divine appointment" and broke at
least four cultural conventions and a rugged and dangerous route to converse with the
woman. The theme of the women's conference is about being at peace. The Samaritan
Woman was certainly not at peace and Jesus approached her well aware of her sin and
her unacceptable life with multiple husbands. Jesus not only brought her peace but
used her to bring peace to everybody else in Samaria. I will share about my many visits
to this well in Samaria (Nablus in the Palestinian West Bank of today) and provide
pictures as well as an exposition of John 4.

marriage when these "peace stealers" threaten your marriage and peace of mind and

Kelsey Skoch: Peace in Purity

Finding peace may be difficult, but it's impossible when you stay hidden in what you are
struggling with most. All too often, the topic of sexual purity is presented as something
that's exclusively a male problem. Because of this, women who struggle with
pornography or masturbation are left to feel as if they are the only ones. But this is not
just a guy problem. So how can we overcome these and other addictions that keep us
from living in peace? In this talk, Kelsey outlines 6 steps to help us live in peace through
our personal purity.
Amy Smith: A "Future With Hope" and Peace
God has a "future with hope‚" for you and me, as he promises us in Jeremiah 29:11.

true source of happiness and the answer to every question and longing in your heart,

thought of before. Yes, your life is supposed to be peaceful, joyful and loving...even
doing the dishes.

Kelly Wahlquist: Let the Peace of Christ Rule Your Heart in a World
that Wants to Rule You
Jesus tells us that not only did He give us His peace, but He has also left us with it! So,
why is it that at times we just aren't feel'n it? In recent days, it is easy to ask, "How can
we experience peace within ourselves, despite problems, darkness, and anxieties?"
Looking at women in Scripture, who though even in the very presence of Jesus, had to
learn to let the peace of Christ rule their hearts, we will see how we can do the same.
And we will learn a fail-safe and simple way to rid our lives of any worry, fear, or
restlessness‚ ever again!

Messiness of Motherhood

perfectionist, invites her fellow moms to overcome Pinterest-inspired perfectionism by
