BREAKOUT SESSIONS:

Marriage on Mission
Do you ever wonder if there could be more to your marriage? Do you feel stuck in day-to-day survival feeling like you were made for more? In this breakout session, Jason and Holly will lead us through understanding how marriages on mission are the best marriages. Marriages are designed by God to be a reflection of His love for His people in the world, and every marriage can be a Kingdom building experience that blesses the couple and blesses the world. A marriage on mission provides a life together of awe, excitement, and joy that God intended for it to be.

Time for Counseling?
“When is it time for counseling?” and “Who needs counseling?” are questions we are going to answer for everyone at For the Love. The truth is most people wait for too long before making the courageous decision to go to counseling. More than that will never go at all. In this breakout, Sarah will lead us into understanding when the right time to go to counseling is, and you might be surprised by the answer. Counseling is great for crisis, but it’s also great for capacity building and relationship consistency. For everyone who’s wondered if they or their loved ones would benefit from counseling, this session will be very helpful.

This is causing record levels of anxiety and depression and serious challenges for parents.. Gospel-centered parenting has everything we need to raise the next generation, but it might look different than previous generations. Quinn will lead us in some powerful teaching to help us parent (or grand-parent) the next generations with Gospel and grace.
