But the Master-builder is not you. It's God. The home God builds, He guarantees. |

Why The Joneses are Over-rated
Karen Ehman
Do you play the "if only..." game? "If only I had more money, more time, a bigger house, nicer stuff, a kinder, more gentler husband or better-behaved children...then I'd be happy,... more spiritual,... less disobedient and finally content." When, oh when will we learn that comparisons kill contentment and that changing our circumstances rarely changes us? The key is in changing our perspective. Discover how to fully embrace your current lot in life, welcoming all that God will teach you through it, as you endeavor to cultivate contentment.
Let Freedom Ring
Karen Ehman
What is holding you captive? Are there issues and actions that keep you from living a life that pleases God and truly satisfies you? Tackling the three areas in which we need to experience freedom - from the pain of our past, from the pressures of the present and from the fear of the future, we'll discover how true spiritual freedom results from living a life spent running hard after God rather than running from Him.
He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease
Karen Ehman
(Can also be titled Extreme Makeover Heart Edition-) Into this talk Karen weaves her story of losing and keeping off over 100 pounds. The biggest transformation in her life, however, was not in her appearance. God wanted to give her an extreme makeover of the heart.

Get ready to get real about the blow ups as well as the blessings, of "yours, mine and ours".
Celebrating Sundays
Karen Ehman
Are Sundays at your house a restful, worshipful time of reflecting on the Lord and offering hospitality to His people? Or are they a mix of hurried church services, fast food, cleaning and shopping and other tasks you have not gotten done during the week? Beginning with an original poem, In Which House Do You Live? contrasting a frenzied family playing "catch up" from their hectic week with one celebrating Sunday as a day of delight, Karen provides strategies for re-ordering your week making, Sunday the highlight, not your left-over day. A short lesson on the Jewish Sabbath from the Old Testament is also given to shed further light on making Sundays the highlight of our week with God.
A Life That Says Welcome: Simple Ways to Open Your Heart and Home to Others
Karen Ehman
With humor and transparency, Karen relates the tale of marrying into a family full of interior decorators, caterers and Bed and Breakfast owners, while she herself could hardly boil water! God then used a dear pastor's wife to teach her the difference between entertaining and offering hospitality. Entertaining seeks to impress; hospitality seeks to bless and refresh. We'll explore several excuses for not offering hospitality as the Bible commands and then provides solutions to overcome these various excuses.

Let Dad Be Dad
Karen Ehman
If you came home after a weekend away from the kids while your husband was in charge, what would you discover as you walked through the door? With laughable honesty, Karen relates how she transformed from being a control freak about parenting the kids to a mom who encourages her husband to father his children in his own unique style. With a look at marriage, parenting and our extended families she shares both the why and the how to "let dad be dad" so that any mom can learn to smile when she walks through the door instead of shouting, "Honey, what were you thinking?"
A Marriage Made in Oz
Karen Ehamn
Is your happily-ever-after not so happy after all?

And all the while he thinks you are behaving like the wicked witch! Throw a few munchkins in the mix and it really gets interesting! In this lighthearted, but helpful session we'll explore how to overcome different personalities differences and get your marriage back on the right– though maybe not yellow brick - road.
Balancing Ministry and Life
Karen Ehman

Busyness and challenging situations can cause us to lose our joy, and maybe even wonder if Jesus really understands our feelings. Ladies will learn about the second most stressful day in the life of Jesus, and be reassured that He does understand, and that true peace can only be found din Him, not our works or circumstances.

Do you exert every effort to solve a problem before turning to God? Do the challenging situations in life leave you fretting and worrying?

We all have hard times, in our marriages, jobs, families and every area of life. This session encourages women that they can triumph over difficult experiences by truly believing that all things work together for the glory of God.

It is a great session to lift women's spirits and help them see themselves through the eyes of a loving God.
Perfume, Purpose and Peace
We all have a fragrance, and not just one from the store! Our hearts and lives exude a fragrance to those around us, and that fragrance has a lasting impact on others.

Empowered By A Whisper
Was that you God? How do we know if we hear Him speaking? Many Christians are never taught how to hear from God and therefore may miss his supernatural intervention in their lives. God normally speaks in such a small, quiet voice, that we may never be completely sure we have heard Him. This session highlights how people heard from God in Old Testaments days, and how God speaks to His children today. It will encourage women to look for God at work in their lives, and listen for His voice, and encourage them to step out in faith in whatever it is He instructs them to do.

NEXT GENERATION KEYNOTE TOPICS
Learning To Be Me and Loving It
On a typical school day, young girls all over the country will face rejection, betrayal, hurt, insecurities and/or peer pressure. All of these things can result in feelings for overwhelming rejection and loneliness, making it difficult to maintain on's self confidence and self esteem, and making it nearly impossible to believe that God can use our painful experiences to help us grow and mature in our faith. This session identifies how girls can experience victory over all types of rejection by encouraging them to focus on their inner beauty and how Christ sees them, rather than how the world may see them. Trying to please others is a losing battle, and young girls will be motivated to seek the approval of their Heavenly father, and not the approval of man (aka, peers!). This session can help girls gain a new perspective on being true to themselves and remembering that in the eyes of Christ, they are a beautiful, special and unique individual.
Color Me Beautiful

WOMEN'S MINISTRY TRAINING TOPICS
(can also be combined for an all day Teaching The Called Workshop)
Cultivating A Heart For Servant Leadership
For most women, the busyness of life keeps us from feeling usable by God. This session leads women to a better understanding of how God gives us all the time we need to fulfill His purpose, and equips us to become leaders in our homes and churches. Women will better understand God's desire for us to serve Him in a variety of ways, even when we think it is impossible, and help women have the strength and motivation to carry out their unique and divine purpose in ways they never thought possible.
Embracing The Call
God ordained each of us for specific purpose, and there comes a time in our lives when we finally recognize God's voice and understand what His calling is on our life.... but then what? When God calls us to do something, we can find every excuse in the book for not doing it - limited time availability; over-committed; young children; family pressures; health issues. But God is the master timekeeper and organizer or our lives, and He not only has equipped us to serve Him, but will provide the tools, resources, time and organization needed to do His will.
Staying Filled Up So You Won't Burn Out
Serving in ministry can be very rewarding, it is easy to get caught up in the process, and lose sight of the purpose. In the midst of leading in ministry, we often forget that leaders need to be refueled too! This session will help ministry leaders learn to recognize burnout warning signs, discover ways to remain encouraged in ministry and discover steps to refuel their hearts to triumph over burnout and continue to further the kingdom of God.
Building A Strong Women's Ministry
Do you have a ministry team that needs some encouragement, motivation and fresh ideas? Does your team need to be encouraged and reminded why women's ministry is so important and how it impacts God's kingdom?
