1 THRIVE WOMEN S CONFERENCE 2018 Friday: Breakout Session A (3:00 4:30 PM) Bible Basics: Discover and Deepen your Understanding of the Bible Dr. Roberta Hesteness Teaching Pastor, Bayside Granite Bay Learning simple and foundational skills in personal and group Bible study can open up the meaning and use of the Bible for spiritual nurture, growth, and joy in the Christian life. After introducing key skills, we will practice on several texts related to women in the New Testament. Conversational Apologetics Dena Davidson M.A. Campus Life Director, Thrive School Increasingly, our culture thinks faith is irrelevant and dangerous. The Christian faith is based on a book many people consider false and offensive. How do you hold tight to the truths of Scripture without being labeled a bigot? How do you stand firm when people assume you re intolerant? Is there a way to communicate your beliefs while being full of grace and truth? This breakout will address how we as Christians can have great conversations with people about our faith. Equipping the Next Generation to Deal with Culture Bonnie Christensen M.A. Speaker & Bible Study Teacher Everyone has a worldview, but few are aware how it affects daily decisions and how those decisions influence culture. If a Believer is not intentional in developing a biblical worldview, she will find herself with a worldview that is shaped by culture rather than biblically shaped. Are you feeling the pressure to conform to many confusing cultural ideas of our day? Are you at a loss how to articulate your values and beliefs? Gaining a solid grasp of your beliefs based on God s absolute Truth is essential to making sense of our rapidly changing world. This breakout session will equip you with tools to develop your biblical worldview and own your ability to make an imprint on society by navigating culture in a Christ-honoring way. Real Money Talk for Women Heidi Hunter Wealth Advisor, Thrivent Financial Many women will face life-changing financial decisions, including losing a spouse, caring for parents and/or children, or experiencing divorce. Most will also enjoy a longer life expectancy than our male counterparts! Often, women defer decisions or are too busy to think about important money matters, but denial or ignorance does not change the outcome. Understand financial concepts like how to manage your money wisely, impact of Social Security, protection needs, retirement investment and income strategies so you can be informed to make good decisions now and in the years to come. Self-Awareness Through the Enneagram Nancy Beach Key Note Speaker The most dangerous leaders are those who lack in self-awareness. Together we will explore the Enneagram, a tool that has proven helpful for many to grow in seeing their blind spots, their strengths, and the areas where transformation is most needed. Nancy Beach is a trained teacher of this tool, and will introduce all 9 types using many examples and personal stories. 1
2 Spiritual Warfare: Battling Against Trials, Temptations, and Testing Gil Steiglitz Discipleship & Groups Pastor, Bayside Granite Bay Spiritual Warfare is real. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. When we face spiritual opposition, temptation, fear and doubt, how do we fight back? Our society and culture has tried to hide the spiritual battles that all of us face. We have become ignorant about the spiritual world and spiritual influences. Most Christians do not know how to spiritually take the power, grace and mercy of Jesus Christ and live a victorious life. In this seminar we will explain the four basic elements of winning at Spiritual Warfare and show you how to grow strong in the Lord. Strengthening Your Identity Through Art, Music & Scripture: An Experiential Breakout Heather Penny Ph.D. Professional Coach, President of Arise & Be We all want to live thriving lives, but our desire to nurture and serve others can cause us to slip into survival mode and lose pieces of who we truly are. Making the space to hear our heart and the whispers of God strengthens our identity and reminds us what we need for deep fulfillment. This workshop is a safe space to engage your creativity and learn new tools to slow down and listen to your Self and God. Stories, reflective questions, scripture, art, and music will be used as tools to strengthen your identity and grow your connection to God. No artistic experience needed. Saturday: Breakout Session B (10:00 10:50 AM) Balance Driven by Priorities Lori Salierno Key Note Speaker Learn how to live your life by your priorities. Time invested is much more powerful than time spent. Come and learn how to maximize your time to reach your highest goals.

You will learn about the important role your thought life has in ensuring your freedom. In addition, participants will discover how to identify lies that you are believing and replace them with God s truth. Creative Bible Journaling - An Experiential Breakout Patricia Patterson Artistic Designer, Patti s Signs & Designs To grow in our knowledge of the Bible and memorizing scripture by remembering visually is a great way to draw a deeper relationship with God. We can sometimes see a verse better if we ve given it a picture of our own. This breakout will include different styles of journaling whether in your bible or on a notebook. Encouraging women to be in the Word daily in a fun, creative fashion! 2

4 Living a Connected Life with Christ Through Spiritual Disciplines Desiree Schneider Women s Pastor, Bayside Blue Oaks Do you find that the daily routine of life tends to pull you further from God? Do you feel disconnected more often than connected to the presence of God? Join us as we focus on 2 specific spiritual disciplines; being in God's Word and Prayer and how these disciplines can draw you closer to living a connected life with Christ. Navigating Life s Transitions Lisa Thompson Women s & Groups Pastor, Bayside Folsom Transitioning to a new normal How do you respond when life is interrupted by new changes, new seasons or new trials? Maybe you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by your circumstances and or experiencing a crisis of faith? Rest assured that God is working in ways you cannot see to bring about His greater plans and purposes not just for your life, but for others all around you. How do you get to a place where you can accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what it will be? Come be encouraged through God s powerful Word and leave with a greater understanding of the unseen in your life. Secrets of the Lord s Prayer Gil Steiglitz Discipleship & Groups Pastor, Bayside Granite Bay The Lord s Prayer is one of the most common Scriptures in the world. Thousands of people have memorized this prayer and have no idea that they are reciting from memory one of the most powerful keys to intimacy with God and access to His power. There are secrets in this prayer that will unlock a whole new depth to your spiritual life, hidden keys that will ignite the miraculous here and now. Jesus teaches in this prayer a whole new way of approaching and dialoguing with God as we live for Him. We want to experience unimaginable blessings and God s power in our lives, and this is where it all begins. Shameful Lies: The Toxic Effects of Shame Dena Davidson M.A. Campus Director, Thrive School Andrea Watson High School Director, Bayside Granite Bay Throughout Scripture God offers redemption to his people. Yet shame would steal that offer. Shame lies about who we are and how God and others view us. In this breakout we will look at the roots and fruits of shame and how we can live redeemed lives rather than be controlled by shame. Strengthening Our Identity through Art, Music & Scripture An Experiential Breakout Heather Penny Ph.D. Professional Coach, President of Arise & Be We all want to live thriving lives, but our desire to nurture and serve others can cause us to slip into survival mode and lose pieces of who we truly are.

Urgency of Knowing and the Art of Sharing the Gospel Megan Fate-Marshman Key Note Speaker Do you starve for the approval of others? Are you tired from busyness? Are you in need? Well, you need Jesus. This seminar is about Jesus--why He had to come, live, die, rise again, ascend and how we have to respond. But, why? How? Join Megan and learn how to articulate, share and live out the best news of all--the gospel. 7
