2024 Lunch & Learn Series

Women4Truth is pleased to invite you to our second season of Lunch & Learn.

The theme for this new season is: Hope & Healing for Women.

Because of the finished work of Jesus, we have the promise that we will be complete and lacking in nothing (Phil. 1:6; James 1:4). But this sanctifying journey through life can leave us wandering, wounded, and at times, hopeless.

In these six sessions, it is our prayer to bring renewed HOPE and deep HEALING to your soul.

Join us on September 20th, and save the additional dates below. Future emails will include full session descriptions and video introductions to our incredible speaking team!

Sept 20   Tara Smith - “Forgiveness - What it is, What it isn't, and How it Affects ALL of Life.”

Forgiving anyone in a meaningful way is one of the hardest things a person has to do. If you do not, resentment and vengeance can begin to consume you. And too often, we confuse forgiveness with reconciliation – but they are not synonymous. Forgiveness is a difficult journey, but it doesn’t have to be impossible.

Join us for this first session of our Season Two Lunch & Learn Series, "Hope & Healing" as we discover what forgiveness is, but equally important – what it isn’t.

Oct 18 Jaime Levi "Can I Really Trust God? - Increasing Our Capacity to Trust by Identifying Areas of Doubt"   

“Do I really trust God?” “How might my life experiences impact my ability to trust?” The decision to trust is based on 4 distinct risk assessments. An honest reflection on these assessments and on our own ability to extend trust can bring about healing and hope, especially as it relates to our relationship with our Heavenly Father and our identity as beloved daughters.

Nov 15 Kristin Pattison "Thriving, Not Just Surviving - Finding Contentment & Joy in Unceasing Trials"   

Some trials come and go.  Through them we learn, we lament, we praise, we reflect.  But what about the trials that are unceasing?  What if that circumstance, relationship, infirmity, or hardship is something it appears God isn’t going to remove from our life?

Jan 10 Ali Gentry Creech "Grief & Gratitude - Learning to Navigate Seasons of Loss & Change with Honesty & Hope"   

"Each one of us is affected by change. It’s one of the guarantees of life. We’re often taught how to embrace those moments through a lens of positivity, joy, and to put on a smile. And those are helpful practices!
 

But, what if the moment also requires honesty, lament, and tears? Usually, we can feel that we need (and want) to respond in these ways, but our western culture has not taught us how to grieve before moving onto the stages mentioned above.
 

Let’s dive into the Word and into the Jewish culture as we see how lament and mourning are a necessary part of navigating hard seasons of our lives. We experience loss in different ways and through different seasons, let’s learn to embrace grace and stir up hope in the midst of it!"

Feb 14 Erica Wiggenhorn "The Road to Renewal - Four Proven Practices for Rest & Revival When You're Worn Out & Weary" About this time each year, all my new year vigor fizzles.  I realize I need yet another reset to keep joy pumping and peace flowing.  What I need more than a set goal is a sustainable rhythm that will keep me on course and moving forward.  Maybe you can relate? Whether you're weary, sturggling with monotony, disappointment or maybe even misery.  God has a plan to infuse fresh life into us.  Come be encouraged and refreshed!

Mar 14 Linda Huffman "Shame Interrupted - How God Lifts the Pain of Worthlessness & Rejection"  Shame is a primary tool of the enemy.  Whether others shame us, or we shame ourselves, the main message is, “you are not worthy, you are not enough”.  The enemy introduced shame at the Fall, but Jesus put an end to it at the Cross.  As His adopted daughters we have value and worth beyond compare.  We’ll look at how shame destroys our worth and how the Truth of Word and the power of the Holy Spirit free us from the shame, pain, and worthlessness of rejection, and declare us accepted and WORTHY of his love and redemption.
