A Wise Woman Builds

Scripture: Proverbs 14:1
So much information, so little wisdom. How can a woman make her way wisely through the information age in which we live? Debbie points you to the provision God has given to make us wise women: Christ,"the wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:24). In connecting with Him, we become wise women who build up others as we go about life. In Debbie's signature message, she helps you find ways to:

- Build up your most important relationships.
- Embrace your imperfections as instruments of growing in wisdom.
- Find and pass on encouragement you find in Scripture.

Quench Your Thirst

Scripture: Philippians 4:11-12
Amidst our affluent culture, many women still thirst for contentment and satisfaction. But, there is only one way to find deep, soul-quenching fulfillment. In this presentation, Debbie shares her struggle with discontent and how to recognize your own sources of dissatisfaction. She points you to Paul's message in Philippians of finding contentment in Christ. Debbie will help you satisfy your thirst with the Living Water as you learn to:

- Renew your desire to seek God’s wisdom in Scripture.
- Express contentment that creates a calming effect in your home.
- Prevent discontentment from choking your relationships.

Oasis of Rest

Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30
Many women today are beyond busy. They're feeling frazzled, frenzied, and even forgotten. There's a need for rest in the midst of chaos, an oasis in the desert of busyness. In this presentation, Debbie helps women create a personal oasis with Christ, resting in His invitation to "come unto Me" found in Matthew 11. You will learn how to:

- Experience soul rest in your home nest.
- Feel a deeper sense of God’s love and forgiveness.
- Soothe your busy mind by reflecting on Biblical truth.
- Reconnect with God when He feels distant.
- Make more room for God as you go about your daily routine.

Making of a Masterpiece

Scripture: Psalm 139; Ephesians 1:10
Do you ever wonder what role God plays in your circumstances? Debbie encourages women to see how the hand of the Master Artist, Jesus Christ, works in the little details and broad brushstrokes of your life. Experience a visual presentation that will leave you with a renewed perspective on how to:

- Apply Biblical truth to enhance your creative endeavors.
- Revel in the one-of-a-kind way God is working through your life.
- Revive creative passions woven into you from birth.
- Express your creativity in new ways – even if you’re not an artist.

Focal Point

Scripture: Hebrews 12:2-3
You can't control all of your life circumstances, but you can choose where you look in the midst of them. Debbie shares her struggle with SADD (spiritual attention deficit disorder) and the choices you can make to keep Christ as the focal point of your life. Based on the call to "fix our eyes on Jesus" from Hebrews 11, this seminar often helps women feel a new freedom to:

- Rekindle the joy in your relationship with Jesus.
- Make decisions that lead to strength and hope.
- Avoid burn out by refocusing on Christ.
- Refresh your hope through tough times.
