1. Financial Empowerment
Marcia Windross
Friday, March 14th at 8:45am
As virtuous and wise women, we’re considering the ways of the ant (Proverbs 6:6- 11) and securing plans for the future with deliberate focus!
The intention is to elevate those who need knowledge and financial acumen by offering insight, direction, and the understanding necessary to protect, accumulate, and preserve assets for economic well-being and a legacy of generational wealth. No matter the current reality, it can change if plans start now to strengthen financial positionings for the near and distant future. We will create a plan together because strength and honor are our clothing, and we have decided that there will be no regrets.

2. Prayer
Minister Janice Rodrigues
Friday, March 14th at 8:45am
When you come to an EmpowerMe conference, there will always be a Word of edification, encouragement, and exhortation–but there will also always be prayer!
Thus, Woman Pray welcomes you to join our intercessors. Prayer makes all the difference! If you’d like to start the conference unfettered, if you want life to look different but you’re not sure what you’re missing, or if you want a running start on what it means to intercede for your family, join this team of women who are sensitive to His Spirit, humbled enough to follow His leading, and ready to pray effectively for the conference, one another, and for the issues that burden your heart. Don’t miss an opportunity to experience His presence because these women will “Meet with God!”

3. Mothering
Pastora Faith Cha
Friday, March 14th at 10:15am
While mothering is a rewarding experience, raising righteous seed in a world filled with distraction and deception can also be most challenging.
What should be obvious or natural now requires keen discernment and even reinforcement from seasoned others on what it means to raise children, steward young adults, and be a voice of wisdom in the ears of adult children. That’s why this is a session for you! Your children are a heritage and reward from God! They are arrows in your hands, and your stewardship will determine their natural and eternal outcome. So, hear from a mother, also known as a “Mother of Nations,” what it means to fear God as a parent, what it means to position your children for good success, what it means to have them rise and call you blessed, and what it means to leave a legacy worth following.

4. Spiritual Gifts
Pastor Christine Martin
Friday, March 14th at 10:15am
There are ministries, callings and gifts in the body of Christ, and you have been anointed and appointed to fulfill, in one or more ways, your assignment! The ministry of reconciliation belongs to every Christian, but Ephesians 4 says God gave callings too! Some of us are called to the office of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher; but whether called or not, we all have gifts!
According to Romans 12:6-8 those gifts include prophecy, ministry, teaching, exhortation, giving, leadership, and/or mercy, while 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 starts with the gift of wisdom and knowledge, faith and healing, miracles and prophecy, discernment, as well as tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. Gifts are present within each of us, and, it’s time to stir them up! It’s time to respond to your calling, embrace your assignment, and understand how to activate, nurture and be strengthened in the gifts that bring meaning to life.

5. Marriage
Minister Diera Shaw-Mendez
Friday, March 14th at 12:45pm
The marriage vows you made with the “man of your dreams” included “I Do” and now you are experiencing the bliss of actual matrimony, where the two have become one flesh! It is indeed a mystery, but thanks be to God, He reveals His secret counsel to the upright, and pointedly tells older women through Titus to teach younger women how to love their husbands, be homemakers who are “good”, and yes, “obedient to their own husbands.” Has this changed with the times? Or, is there time honoring value to what it means to “submit”? The answers may not be easy, but they are necessary to understand.
Join this session for insight, counsel, and the encouragement needed to be a “help-meet” or “bride” no matter how long you’ve been married because you are a follower of Christ. Come and receive practical and biblical understanding to make what’s good better and what’s strained healthier. Come and be encouraged by the faithfulness of your God.

Lady Nicole Green

7. Health
Dr. Carol Penn
Friday, March 14th at 2:15pm
The body is the temple of God, and while wisdom dictates that we care for the temple, knowledge is necessary. Educate yourself by hearing from a clinical doctor how to care for yourself and maintain your health.
Don’t let fear, ignorance, or busyness rob God’s promise of long life from you! The plagues found in family lines exacerbated by the typical Western diet are all threats to your wellbeing. For this reason, a board-certified physician will address common health concerns, and encourage you with how to be alert and vigilant, because it’s necessary! Whether you are up to date with your appointments, or you avoid doctors at all costs, this is an opportunity to steward well your life with needed information. Plans are also underway for mobile health screenings for the day.

8. Holistic & Functional Health
Candice Robertson, APN-C, Founder of The NP Xperience
Friday, March 14th at 2:15pm
Healthy living is always the goal, and as a provider, I see healthcare as both a divine calling and a partnership to help individuals achieve optimal wellness. However, there is a growing concern that financial incentives have, at times, compromised the systems intended to heal and serve. This concern has led many to explore holistic and functional health approaches—natural, personalized methods that address the root causes of health concerns rather than just treating symptoms. These approaches have proven effective for many individuals.
This session will introduce you to holistic and functional health, highlighting how these
complementary approaches can work together. Functional health focuses on uncovering the "why" behind health challenges, while holistic medicine emphasizes aligning the mind, body, and spirit for comprehensive healing. Although this path may not be for everyone and is often not covered by insurance or always financially sustainable, it remains a powerful and viable option to consider.
In many ways, holistic and functional health represent a return to foundational, less
invasive practices-methods that gradually repair the body while fostering alignment with God's original design and intent. These approaches not only support green living but also empower individuals to take an active role in their health.
Join us to learn how holistic and functional health can help you reclaim control over your wellness journey. Use your personal discretion, and explore how these approaches might transform the way you think about health and healing.

9. Mental Health
Valarie C. Greco, LCSW, LPC
Friday, March 14th at 2:15pm
God has given His children a sound mind, but when our thinking is off, we can limit Him and miss what He intended for life and family. Hear what it means to choose the mind of Christ! Consider the life and peace God promised to those who are spiritually minded, and hear what deliverance is for the one who sets their mind on things above and who thinks on what is true.
Inner healing and true freedom are possible through the blood of Jesus Christ, and a daily decision to put on the new man and be renewed in the spirit of the mind is how to combat attacks that bombard, condemn, and/or undermine who God has made us and, what He has promised! Let the Sun of Righteousness hide you under His wings and enlighten you in ways that welcome needed change. Come and receive your story of redemption! Come and hear what’s possible for the ones you love.

10. Entertaining
Michelle Davies
Friday, March 14th at 3:45pm
Demonstrating love is not about a personality! We’re all called to love–and to love “in deed and truth”! Part of this involves creating spaces to gather and create memories with those we are called to love. So, don’t miss an opportunity to learn how to make hosting “beautiful!” We all like to eat. And then there are “foodies”! We can all enjoy friendly fellowship, but there’s a way to entertain!
We can all appreciate clean environments, but maybe it’s possible to make someone feel greatly valued, even loved, as they enter an experience that you’ve created! A beautiful fellowship, a delightful spread, or a welcoming ambiance is possible if you want it! We all have strengths, but every woman should be, at the very least, willing to expose herself to more, and expand her capacity to do better than before! Grow yourself in what it means to create spaces where you smile and others gush. Hear a few ideas. Determine how to make a few tweaks, maybe even learn a hack or two, but shift your life, and those you love, from ordinary to beautiful. Come ready to receive a gift in the body of Christ. You won’t regret it!
