Seeking God’s kingdom first isn’t just a concept—it’s an invitation to let the rule and reign of Christ transform our hearts, our minds, and every space we step into. But what does that really look like in daily life—especially in the midst of challenges or uncertainty? It means choosing, again and again, to turn our eyes toward our Heavenly Father and depend on Him, trusting that His work in and through us isn’t finished yet. God’s kingdom is still unfolding, and each of us has a unique place and purpose in His ongoing restoration. As we walk through Scripture together, you’ll be reminded of who God is—and who you are in Him—so that in every circumstance, you can confidently and wholeheartedly seek Him first.

Revival is spreading in the hearts of God’s people everywhere. It’s time for us to awaken to God’s powerful presence and join him in what He’s doing to bring renewal and revival to the world around us! During this talk, we will discover what we have in common with a man named Lazarus and a little girl in ancient Capernaum. You’ll leave encouraged, empowered, and equipped to boldly live out a confident faith that shines like the dawn in the world around you.

Ever felt that deep longing for God to come and make everything right again? To finally feel free from the weight of sin and pain and suffering, and to see His glory at work in the world around you? In this keynote session, Summer shares how we are made for more than struggling and striving to survive. You’ll learn more about the holy and divine purpose that God has created you for and how because of Jesus, we can not only stand firm and steadfast in the storms of life, we can be a living testimony of God’s power, redemption and grace.

Each of us has a unique story to tell. By itself, our story is merely words, conveying facts about who we are, what we’ve done, and things we’ve said. But the moment Jesus breaks into our story, He transforms our ordinary details into a powerful testimony. As we take a look at the life of Mary Magdalene, you’ll:

• See how Jesus turned Mary’s ordinary story into a testimony of God’s never-ending faithfulness
• Learn how we are a part of God’s greater story and how Jesus at work in your life can have an impact in the Kingdom
• Expereince the love of Christ in new ways as we lean into the Scriptures to find confident hope for today and for the future.

We live in a “hustle-hard” culture that tells us that we have to do all things well and look good doing it. The pressure to be the masters of our own destinies with Instagram worthy lives can be crushing and lead to massive burn-out. But God intends better for His children. Summer shares from her own experiences and from Scripture so that you can:

• Learn to stop striving and breathe again
• Learn how to lean on God for wisdom, guidance and strength as you set healthy boundaries
• Begin to see things from an eternal perspective
• Be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live an abundant life in Christ and truly soar.

We’ve heard that God loves us, but do we always feel worthy of that love? Many of us walk around feeling alone, or unworthy of meaningful relationships with God and those close to us. We struggle to connect in authentic and vulnerable ways, fearful that if people really knew us, they would not love us. We want to help you truly understand:

• God values you and wants you to know your true worth in Him, no matter what you have done, said or experienced
• The difference between guilt and shame and how they impact how we see ourselves and others.
• How to realign your perspective with Scripture and what God says is true about you.
• Your worth in Christ as God’s beloved daughter.

Lately, it seems more and more difficult to navigate our ever-changing world with truth and love, with grit and grace. But when we know who we are in Christ, it changes everything from the decisions we make to the relationships we have, and especially how we reflect the light and love of Christ into the world around us. In this breakout session, we’ll dive into the book of Ephesians to learn more about who God has created us to be, and how that impacts our everyday life. You’ll hear examples of women in the Bible with unshakeable faith in the most unlikely situations, and be encouraged and equipped to put on the armor of God and lean into the divine tools that God has given us for such a time as this. You’ll gain practical wisdom to help you grow in your faith and leave encouraged and inspired.

Confidence is a hot topic and the world has plenty to say about how to feel and act more confidently. But true, lasting confidence is more than just pop culture, self-help. We need a different kind of confidence that cannot be shaken. In this talk, Summer shares scripture and humor to help you:

• Learn the difference between “self-confidence” and “God-confidence”
• Discover what God says about who we are, and how He truly sees us
• Dig into God’s Word to see what scripture says about confidence and what God-confidence looks like in everyday life.

Growing up, you may have heard the song, “Jesus loves me, this I know”, but how do we get from knowing Jesus loves us, to believing it and experiencing it at the heart level? Through scriptures and stories, you’ll:

• Learn God’s intentional design for us to be in relationship with Him and how our life experiences can affect our view of God.
• Discover a more accurate view of God’s love based on His character we see unfolded in Scripture
• Begin to see yourself more accurately, through the lens of God’s great love for you, and how you can live as God’s beloved in your everyday life.

We all want to feel like we have a purpose in life, that there’s more to life than the everyday grind. We want to matter and know that we are created uniquely for a reason. Through this talk, you’ll learn:

• How God has created you beautifully and uniquely for meaningful and life giving purposes.
• Gain practical tools as you learn to identify your gifts
• Learn how to use your unique gifts and character qualities to serve God and others.

Seasons of change can be difficult, especially when you don’t see it coming. Job changes, loss and grief, moving, or family changes can all leave you feeling like you don’t have a clear purpose. Summer shares her story about how her life changed dramatically overnight, leaving her family reeling with mixed emotions and a lot of questions. Through her story, you’ll:

• Learn what the Bible says about change and why we really can trust in God
• Hear how God is faithful to guide us through, and plans ahead for us, even when we cannot
• Learn to see things from an eternal perspective and how you too can find your purpose, even in the midst of change.

We all want to feel like we have purpose in life, but sometimes it can be hard to know what our gifts are and how to use them. In this breakout session, you’ll:

• Learn how you are uniquely created for purpose in God’s kingdom, and how to lean into the divine invitation that God gives us all.
• Gain practical tools for discovering your gifts
• Craft your very own purpose statement to help you confidently live out your purpose in any season of life.
