Conversations That Matter
Speaker: Amber Johns, FCA Staff - NY
We are all faced with difficult conversations with parents, teammates, coaches as well as God himself. Perhaps the most difficult conversation is one we must have with ourselves.

Make God Famous
Speaker: Stephanie DeSmit, FCA Lacrosse

Don’t Settle: For Women Seeking Joy, Hope, & Love
Speaker: Chris Gratton, FCA Staff - NC
Relationships grip us like nothing else. We look for love in anything and everything to find happiness and joy. Naturally, we place our hope in things that temporarily satisfy us; we choose to settle for this thinking that’s all there is. In this session, you’ll be encouraged to not settle for what the world has to offer, but to guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it! Don’t settle!
Approx. 15 mins.
F.L.E.E.
Speaker: Jessica Brewster, FCA Staff - TN
When we give in to sexual immorality, we give evidence that we lack one of the fruits of the Spirit—self-control. We all have a flesh and a Spirit whatever we feed more is what will win; whatever we allow to sit on the throne of our heart is what we worship. With personal story and Biblical application, Jessica encourages believers to F.L.E.E. worldly, tempting situations so that our walk reflects our relationship with Jesus.

The Way God Sees Me
Speaker: Georgia Stockton, Presbyterian College Basketball
In high school Georgia developed an eating disorder. She kept it hidden and at times she felt like her thoughts were consumed with all things food and how her body looked.

Georgia takes the time to explain why it is so important to debunk the lies of this world and focus on the truth of the Word in order to understand the truth of how God sees you!
