SESSION 1
Understanding the LGBTQIA+ Community, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity - Katie Kigar
Everyone is a part of this conversation in some way, because of a friend, family member, messages from media, or an experience of your own. But what does Jesus say? How does His love challenge us to respond and how does His truth bring clarity to confusion?
Revealing the Objective Standards of Modesty - Emmarie Moon/Ashley Giovannucci
Unlike the social mores of fashion, the principles of modesty are not a manmade concept. Modesty was God’s idea. His standards transcend time and place to give us a deeper truth: the clothes we wear are a daily reminder of our need for Christ. Rather than asking what to wear and where to draw the “hemlines”, it’s time to consider why we wear the clothes that we do.
Consuming or Consumed? Social Media and the Christian Woman - Kaela Kaiser
How can we use social media without being used by social media? Understanding the consumer/consumed mindset of our modern day and age.
SESSION 2
Reframing Preconceived Ideas of Femininity - Alyssa Kaiser
Femininity is a concept that seems archaic and confining. Culturally, it has been defined by physical attributes and actions. But biblical femininity is about who God has created us to be and how that overflows into the way we relate. Is it possible that our femininity uniquely displays the open and invitational nature of God?
Sexual Heartache and the Language of Healing - Katie Kigar
Often experienced but rarely spoken about, sexual pain and heartache is not beyond the healing power of Jesus. Many times those we love, including ourselves, carry pain, regret, and brokenness from our own choices, the choices of others, and the reality of living in a fallen world. How do we speak into that? What should we be telling ourselves and others?
Diagnosing the Porn Epidemic and Overcoming Sexual Sin - Ashley Giovannucci & Amber Impellizzeri
Sexual sin isn’t just a man’s problem. 87% of Christian women have admitted to watching porn, and every year advances in technology make it more intense and more accessible than ever. Sexual sin is one of the biggest threats to our marriages, our Christian witness, and our intimacy with God. How did we get here and how do we stop?
