Teen Room ( Young Professional)
As a young professional, what do I do when I feel unheard, invalidated, or invisible in my singlehood? If I grew up in the church, how do I process through layers of grief from things that feel abusive or harmful spiritually - with grace and love for myself and others? How do I build more layers of resilience in my life to cope with depression and anxiety, which seem so prevalent in my generation?

Teen Room (Congregational)
Is church the right place to talk about sex? At what age do I begin talking about it? What are age-appropriate words and timeframes? Maybe your parents never talked about it and it feels shameful to do so. How can I promote a healthy view of sex in my family? We all are concerned with our kids learning about sex from friends, TV, internet, and social media - but it's so uncomfortable! Where do I begin? And what if I'm late to the game and my kid is already older, where do I start then? How do I talk about social media influence and pornography with my kids?

(Staff, Elders, Zone Leaders)
When I carry so much responsibility, how do I effectively build an infrastructure underneath myself and others that is based on God, not my own strength? Where and how do I fit resting in God? How do I layer people up around me with tools and relationships so that I am not the only person they cling to? How should we deal with conflict between others in leadership and with members? What is codependency and does it apply to me? Do I have a good balance of different types of people in my circle of close relationships? How do I deal with the anxieties of life/family and leadership/ministry and also make sure I have support for myself through it? What does true spirit-lead work and worship look like for me?

Teen room (teen, campus, singles)
What is God's plan for sex? How do I navigate the constant barrage of sexual information coming at me in school, media, and the outside world? My parents are not comfortable talking about sex, where do I go to better understand my body and what is going on with me? As a single person, how do I navigate some of the negative messages of shame from unhelpful “purity culture” messages? What is the right way to think about sex and not be ashamed of its place in our lives? Where do I get help when I'm constantly drawn into masturbation or pornography?

Multipurpose room (Congregational)
Let’s review and go deeper. Where do I feel closest to God? What does it look like to be more deeply connected? How do I explore the different spiritual disciplines to figure out what works for me? What does it look like, to just BE? How do I explore the different places in the bible where God invites me in, wants me to be close, helps me to feel safe?

The Art of Validation II 2 pm to 4 pm
Review the practice of Validation: What is empathy and how do I get there? Practice reflecting and validation. Dealing with defensive listening and finger pointing. How do I bring myself to feel and identify my emotions? How does genuinely sharing and listening communicate the depth of what we value in marriage?
The Dance of Desire 4 pm to 6 pm
What do couples do when they have different levels of sexual libido/desire? What affects low desire? How does validation directly help how I initiate sexually and how I respond to my spouse's initiating? With so many life issues stamping out desire, how do we carve a path to ongoing intimacy in the face of aging, infidelity, past trauma, resentment or sickness? When should we seek counseling and outside help?
