Gathering Growth Tracks

DORI CHOY

Some of us are carrying pain we’ve never fully brought into the light — and we’ve learned to function around it. But God didn’t make you alive in Christ so you could survive. In this track we’ll make room for honest grief, look clearly at what forgiveness is and isn’t, and take one real step toward healing. You don’t have to have words for all of it. You just have to be willing.

REBECCA FAITH MCGUICKEN

If you’ve been waiting to feel qualified before you step into what God has for you — this one’s for you. Scripture says you are already seated with Christ. The question isn’t whether you have a place; it’s whether you’ll take your seat. Together we’ll look honestly at the gifts God has already given you and leave with one small, specific step you can take this month, ready or not.

JOANNA MACHEN

It’s normal to wonder, “Was that really Him?” Often, the only way to know is to step out and share what we sense He’s saying. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore some of the common ways we hear God’s voice and then practice together through guided activations. Come ready to listen, take a small risk, and discover in a safe, encouraging setting that you hear Him more clearly than you think.

CATHY HAVING

Avoiding conflict can feel like keeping the peace — but often it just keeps the wall standing. Christ tore the dividing wall down; we tend to quietly rebuild it. This is a practical, hands-on track: how to open a hard conversation, how to speak truth in love (both halves), how to stay in the room when it’s uncomfortable, and how to repair things after you’ve blown it.

NADALIE WALSH + AVA YODER

Your feelings are real, but they were never meant to decide who you are. Fear, comparison, and the voice in your head saying you're not enough can feel louder than anything God says. In this track you'll get real tools to win the battle of the mind: how to recognize God's truth above your feelings, how to study Scripture for yourself, and how to build an identity on who He says you are. You'll leave with a way to keep going long after the conference ends.

RACHEL BURNHAM

Maybe you've said it, or just thought it: "You don't know my family." The patterns run deep, and change can feel impossible. But God isn't intimidated by your family's story, and He makes all things new. In this track, Rachel will lead us into understanding our authority in Christ, reckoning honestly with the generational sin and junk we've inherited, and renouncing old beliefs so the Holy Spirit can replace them with His truth. You have the opportunity to become a miracle right in your own home.

MERIDITH FOSTER, CATHY VINCENT, GINGER ETCHESON, EMILY GINGERICH

"I'm not qualified. I haven't arrived yet." If that's what has kept you from pouring into another woman, this track is your permission slip. Investing in someone isn't about a title, your age, or having it all figured out. It's about sharing what God has already put in you. Our panel are women do this every day in ordinary ways and we'll talk about how to start, what to actually do in those conversations, asking good questions instead of giving advice, healthy boundaries, and how to keep growing yourself while you pour out.
