Equipping the Next Generation to Deal with Culture Bonnie Christensen M.A. Speaker and 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 cultural 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. 1

3 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. 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.
