We have the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the people of God to help us build a life of wisdom. Wisdom results in bringing glory to God and it saves us from a life of regret. This session will show us how God's Word teaches us to build a life of wisdom by seeking, asking and walking according to His ways. Breakout: Characteristics of Fruitful Friendship (Eph 5:1-21)When we were young, we probably had a few girl fights that left us feeling frustrated, annoyed and rejected. Other times we may have felt jealous as we compared ourselves to our friend’s beauty or accomplishments. We may have thought that things would be different when we became adults. But the reality is, many of us still have a difficult time with friendship. Sometimes friendship gets messy. This breakout session will teach us that when we are clothed with Christ, we have the foundation of what it takes to be a fruitful friend that glorifies God, blesses others, and satisfies our souls. <img style="box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;width:138px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto 5px 0px;text-align:left" /><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1739063894/ywnhdnbi8lrvlsih4s90.jpg" style="width:143px;display:inline-block;vertical-align:bottom;margin:5px 0px;text-align:left;max-width:calc(100% - 5px);border-radius:10px;background-clip:padding-box;float:left" />Amanda Kassian Keynote: Strength in Surrender: Christ's Power in our Weakness (<span fr-original-style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;" style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline !important">2 Cor. 12:9-10)<span fr-original-style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;" style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline !important">Together, we will embrace the paradox of strength through weakness as we dive into 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.

Where will we get the strength and dignity to be clothed in, and how will this change our lives? The good news is that we don't rely on our own sense of self-worth to clothe us or shield us. The gospel offers us something far better: in Christ, we are clothed with His righteousness and He provides our strength and dignity in full. This session will explore the reality, responsibilities, and reward of being clothed with Christ and help us to embrace the strength and dignity that are ours in Him. <img style="box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;width:150px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto 5px 0px;text-align:left;opacity:0.4" /><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1739064001/vzhklkpq5fhzainjvl1f.png" style="width:126px;display:inline-block;vertical-align:bottom;margin:5px 0px;text-align:left;max-width:calc(100% - 5px);border-radius:10px;background-clip:padding-box;float:left" />Rebekah Forster  Breakout: Growing in Strength While You Wait on GodAll of us are waiting for something: a spouse, a home, healing, reconciliation, a child, salvation for the unbeliever or prodigal. The waiting that God calls us into can leave us feeling frustrated, exhausted, and distracted. So how do we develop endurance when we are weary and cynical? How do we draw the head-knowledge that God is our hope and portion into our hearts to deeply believe and live out? How can we become stronger while we wait on God? In this session, we will explore what Scripture says and models for believers who wait on God, and discuss how we can practically apply that to our day-to-day lives.
