On the weekend of Friday, July 31st – August 1st, 2015 in Beachwood, Ohio, Women in ministry came together to deal with some “untouchable” topics. Women in ministry and depression, menopause, loneliness, jealousy, stress, burn out, worry, poor health, divorce, singleness, widowhood, marriage, dating and more!
We give God high praise for the marvelous things He did for us in "Addressing and Exposing" elephants in our pews, lives, ministries, relationships and our own hearts! God tremendously used our speakers, panelists and workshop leaders to usher us into the sweet presence of The Lord. We are grateful for the women who shared from the depths of their being, making themselves vulnerable so that others could receive their break through.
We were richly blessed by our Friday evening keynote speaker, Pastor Denise Cunningham-Doggett, who not only preached Heaven down, but gave each Conference Partner a special gift (beautiful “bejeweled” necklaces adorning elephants) and each conference participant a small bag of 5 colorful “smooth” stones, to remind us that we, like David can defeat our “Goliath/Elephants.” Our Saturday morning plenary speaker, Dr. Martina Moore (a licensed minister, psycho-therapist and CEO of a Christian counseling center) was greatly used by the Lord to decimate the elephants of “religiosity” in our lives. She boldly and skillfully called out the demons that can shackle our spirits when we continue to persist in self-denial.
