Conference Main Sessions with Leslie
Valiant
A valiant woman is a captivated woman — she has learned to tune out cultural distractions and enemy lies and fix her gaze upon Christ alone. As it says in Psalm 34:5, Those who look to Him are radiant. This session will equip you to:
- Freshly fix your gaze upon the one true King.
- Cultivate lasting daily passion for Jesus Christ.
- Exchange legalistic rules for a vibrant relationship with Him.
- Overcome discouragement and doubt.
- Find your true identity and be reminded of who you are ... in Christ!
Empowered
A valiant woman is an empowered woman — she receives the enabling power of God to do what she could never do on her own. As it says in Hebrews 11:34, He makes us strong out of weakness and equips us to become valiant in battle … not by our strength, but His! This session will equip you to:
- Catch a vision for the powerful call God has placed upon your life.
- Exchange frustration and failure for fruitfulness and faithfulness.
- Learn to see your life and the world around you through a heavenly lens.
- Find true fulfillment by becoming the woman God designed you to be — enabled by His grace!
Restored
A valiant woman is a restored woman — she allows God to bring beauty from ashes and turn what was meant for evil to good. As it says in Romans 8:28, He works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose. This session will equip you to:
- Be set free from your past through the power of Jesus Christ.
- Gain a heavenly perspective on trials and suffering.
- Allow God to leverage difficulty into a closer walk with Him.
- Experience God's healing and restoration from hurt caused by others.
- Exchange shame and regret for Christ-enabled radiance and hope.
Courageous
A valiant woman is a courageous woman — she allows God to bring her from “strength to strength” as it says in Psalm 84:7. Instead of shrinking back from challenges, she faces them boldly through the power of the Name that is above every name — Jesus Christ. This session will equip you to:
- Overcome anxiety and walk in faith-filled confidence.
- Smile at the future instead of dreading it.
- Be set free from bondage to fear and become a conduit of Christ's courage in a fearful world.
- Walk triumphantly in heavenly strength in every situation.
With Special Guests

Mandy Saeler
Set Apart Ministries
Mandy has been working with Set Apart Ministries since 2011 and we’re delighted she’ll be joining us this year for our special panel session! She has a gift for using beautiful imagery through her words and presenting life-shaping truth, which she shares in our Set Apart Magazine. Mandy lives in Pennsylvania where one of her greatest joys is being auntie to her darling niece and nephews!

Monte and Beth Cousineau
Worship
Living “from Him, through Him, to Him” (Rom. 11:36) is Monte and Beth’s heart’s desire. Their passion is that from this place of intimacy with Jesus, everything in life would flow. It is with this passion that they founded Flow Worship (FlowWorship.org) — a ministry that helps people grow in intimacy with Jesus. We’re delighted to have them back for a second year to lead our times of corporate worship.

Our dorm rooms sleep four to a room with bunk beds, open shelving, and closet space — and a few touches that we hope will make the space warm and inviting during the weekend. Bathrooms are connected to each dorm room and many are shared with an adjoining suite. We hope you’ll enjoy your visit with us!

Because our dorm space is limited and in high demand, we cannot typically provide private rooms for groups. Our dorm rooms host four people per room, so if your group is larger or smaller than four ladies, please be aware that other conference attendees will likely be sharing the room with you. If this is not a convenient arrangement for your group, we encourage you to consider staying off-campus in a nearby hotel or other form of lodging. We look forward to having your group at this event!
