Encouraging Women

• The Influential Power
  In today's world, it is easy for Christians to walk daily in defeat, fear, worry, distrust, and despair.  Setting the ultimate example, Jesus Christ is our teacher as we study the power of the precious gift we have in prayer.  In this session, we will discuss the essentials of developing a personal prayer life.

• Forgiveness, Are You Serious?
  Forgiveness is a difficult command that our Heavenly Father requires from each of His children.  All women have been wounded by someone that they trusted.  Forgiveness is necessary to becoming the healthy, whole, and alluring woman God created her to be.  We will discuss the steps to forgiveness and Crystal will challenge each woman to begin applying these in her daily life.

• Intimacy, The Lover of My Soul
  Are you madly in love with Jesus Christ?  Do you feel overwhelmed by his love?  Join Crystal as she teaches how to develop an amazingly intimate relationship with a living Savior.  Each woman will be encouraged to pursue Christ with a passion. 

• A Delightful woman
  Our culture demands high beauty standards for our women.  Contrary to our world's perception, God delights in each woman despite her physical appearance.  Discover and experience God's love for you, His adorable daughter. Uplifting is an understatement in describing this workshop.

• Who's In Charge? He is able!
  How do you trust in a God that you can not see? When encountering difficult situations, women's tendency is to "fix it".  This desire leads us to trust in only ourselves and what we can do.  Inspiring women, Crystal will discuss how life's tragedies can change to triumphs when we trust in God's plan.

• I Can't, Not Me, Oh No!
  Fear can become our foundation regarding daily decision making.  The majority of our worries never materialize.  Learn how to stand firm in the promises of God when life seems to be spiraling out of control.  Take heart, dear woman, God is near!!!

Strengthening Mothers

• Blessing or Burden?
  Do your children feel like they are a blessing to you or a burden?  Unfortunately, many times the signals that we as parents give to our children lead them to believe they are an inconvenience. God's word tells us that our children are a Heritage.  In this workshop, Crystal will encourage mothers to evaluate their own actions through Christ's eyes to discern what attitudes she is showing to her children.

• Priorities, why bother?
  As mothers, we want the very best for our children.  We spend money, time, and energy for education and activities to ensure our children succeed. Parenting without priorities allow our children to miss God's best for them. We will take a realistic look at the choices we make and the motivation behind them.  This is an eye opening discussion that will assist any mother on her journey called parenting.

• Did You Say Something?
  All healthy relationships start with effective communication skills.  Mothering is the most rewarding job on the planet.  We will consider how our communication is affecting our children, how to improve those skills, and how repair some of the damage we may have inadvertently caused. Each mom will be amazed at how these truths will spill over into other relationships as well.

• Company's Coming!
  Does having company over send your family dancing to the Flight of the Bumble Bee?  Calm down!!  Hospitality has become a lost ministry in this busy society and yet it is a ministry in which relationships are built.  It is an incredible way to show love to our neighbors, teach our children to serve, and establish family unity.  We will look not only at hospitality of our homes but hospitality of our hearts.

• Learning to Serve
  Teaching our children to serve is one of the most important traits that we can develop in them.  The Bible instructs us to be servants of God. Together, we will consider why service can make a dramatic difference in the life of a child. Moms will be inspired to train their children to be servants at heart.

• What Happened?  Help Me, He's Angry!
  Do you or someone you know have an angry child?  Weariness abounds in a home where an angry child resides.  Giving up is not an option for the mother who is looking for answers as to why her child is so angry. In this session, Crystal is candid about some of her own experiences in dealing with an angry child.  She will discuss some reasons that can lie behind the anger, how to deal with the angry child, and solutions to some of the underlying issues. 

• It's My Choice
  As parents we get the privilege of choosing what "curses and blessings" that we carry to the next generation.  "Dysfunctional" is a popular term today used in describing families. We will look at some ancient "dysfunctional" families and see how God used them in mighty ways.  We will then peek into our own past generations looking for those curses and blessings, deciding what legacy we will pass on to our children.

• To Argue or to Not Argue?
  Family unity is an incredible testimony for Christ. We will look at the differences in family life when brothers live in turmoil or in peace.  Mothers become easily frustrated and weary when her children are continuously arguing.  Discipleship is an important key in resolving this issue when siblings just can't seem to get along.  Learn some easy steps to prevent, repair, and maintain family unity.

• Our Homes: Christ Centered or Child Centered?
  We will compare these two homes in order to accurately evaluate if our homes are correctly centered on Christ.  We will discuss the pitfalls involved with a child centered home and then look at the multitude of blessings within the Christ centered home.  This is a topic that each mom will be blessed to hear.

• A Child of THE King
  Our children are a heritage from the Lord.  Jesus said "Let the little children come unto me."  The media is telling our kids that their worth comes not from God but from the clothes they wear, the style of their hair, the friends they keep, etc.  As parents, we can have great influence over our children's thoughts and can overcome the pressures of the world.  Daily, we are given opportunities to interpret our children's world for them.  Learn how to look for these moments each day to instill in your child his value based on the Fact that he/she is a Child of THE King!

• Contentment, Is That Teachable?
  Children left to their own desires, will become more demanding of us and the world around them.  As parents, we can curtail this appetite monster with some very simple principles.  In this session, we will discuss the importance of contentment and learn how to put these principles in action.

• Character Training
  Raising children of Godly character should be one of the top priorities of Christian parents. Winning the hearts of our children is one of the first steps enabling parents to teach their children. Other steps include possessing Godly character ourselves and teaching our children to serve those around them. Character training is vital in every family!
