Small group sessions are one of the main heartbeats of our events. They provide a great interactive environment for you to experience teaching based on the topics that most interest you. Below is a working list of small group session options for our "Undivided" Events - more descriptions are coming soon!
STUDENT SESSIONS
The Amazing Race
Are you looking for an adventure? Do you long to make a difference? If so, then it’s time you join us in the amazing race of faith. Put on your running shoes and get ready to be a part of a movement spreading across the country and around the world – a movement of girls striving to move beyond being good to being godly. If you’re ready to rise up and be a pacesetter for Christ, then join us for this leadership challenge.
Baby Mama
Ever wonder what crazy life lessons you learn from being a wife and mom? The answers might surprise you. Come hang out with a new mom as she shares some of the things she has learned in her first year of motherhood and how they can relate to girls at every stage of life. If you think motherhood is in your future one day, you won’t want to miss this Q&A time with a new baby mama.
How Do I Help Her?
Have you ever had a friend that was struggling with really difficult issues? Have you wanted to help someone but didn't know how? God desires for us to faithfully love and invest in our friends, but this can be difficult sometimes. This session will give you a deeper understanding and insight into how to love and help your friends when they are going through difficult times.
Humble Confidence
Falling short of the world's standard of beauty and success can slowly chip away at our confidence. Did you know that we can possess the same confidence that Jesus Christ displayed in his life. This is a confidence that is not prideful or arrogant, but completely dependant on the strength and power or God. Come see how to have this kind of confidence and how it can change your life.
I Want You to Want Me
Let’s face it, we want t be wanted, desired, pursued. However, so many times, we seek that from people in our lives (parents, friends, boys) that are never going to fulfill us. It is time we stopped searching for someone to seek after us long enough to see the One who has been doing it all along.
The Prayer Path
Do you ever feel like it is hard to connect with God when you pray? That your prayers seem to hit the ceiling? During this session, you will have the opportunity to learn and experience many new ways to communicate with God. After a brief introduction on prayer, you will have the rest of the time to experience different prayer stations in our interactive prayer room and come to understand the various elements of prayer and the different ways that you can pray. This is a very interactive session so come ready to experience God in a whole new way!
Pride and Prejudice
Have you ever wondered what Pride looks like? Is it arrogant? Is it unattractive, or is it so mesmerizing that you can't take your eyes off of it? Better yet, how do we separate ourselves from wanting the applause to giving God the glory? In a world that says, "it's all about me", don't be fooled. Join us in this small group session as we remove the blinders and fix our eyes on the one true prize.
Ready, Set, Now What?
Do you ever read your Bible and have problems understanding it? Or maybe you just don’t know what spending time with the Lord even looks like to begin with. The best way to have an undivided heart is to start with spending time with the Lord, in His Word, and through prayer. Join us for this session as we take a look at how to read and study the Bible, the power of prayer and other ways to be intimate with the Lord.
Suffering: How To Shine In The Darkness
Christ calls us to be separate from the world, but reminds us that everyone will suffer through trials and tribulations. It is challenging to respond to suffering in a way that allows Christians to shine in this dark world, but with Christ nothing is impossible!
The Beauty of a Servant’s Heart
In a world that constantly teaches us how to pamper ourselves, it can be difficult to see how servanthood can be a beautiful thing. But thankfully we can learn from the ultimate example of beautiful service – the life of Jesus Christ. Join us in this session as we look at the Ultimate Servant and how His example can spur our hearts on to serve Him by serving others.
MINISTER'S WIVES SESSIONS
Life in the Fast Lane
This session is for ministers’ wives and will give us a chance to analyze the fast pace of life in the ministry. We will look at the things that pull on our schedules and emotions to distract us from our devotion to Christ and all that He wants for us. Join us and be encouraged and challenged in your life and ministry.
SPONSOR/VOLUNTEER SESSIONS
At the Heart of It All in a Mom’s World (for parents)
Have an “undivided” heart? Who me? I would like to have an undivided heart. But the reality is there’s dishes to wash, laundry to do, meals to prepare, kids to chauffeur, diapers to change, a husband to keep happy, friendships to maintain, church activities to attend, shopping to do, money to manage, books to read on how to be a better wife and mom, and oh yeah, I need to spend time with God. I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it. But wait! Maybe I have it all backwards. If you sound like me, this small group session is for us to discover where the undivided heart comes from in the real world of a mom.
Culture Shock
Our culture seems to change by the second, making it extremely difficult for us to remain "in the know" about today’s teens. But we cannot just turn a blind eye to all the changes around us if we want to be effective in reaching this generation. Join us in this session as we learn how we can be culturally relevant within our girls’ ministries.
The Hot Seat
Ever felt like you were in the proverbial hot seat as you strive to minister to girls with an ever-changing array of issues? If you are looking for answers to counseling stumbling blocks, today's hot topics, or just general girls' ministry questions, then join us for this session as we face the issues together.
The Titus 2 Initiative
One of the cornerstones of SAGE Ministries is our belief in same-gender intergenerational discipleship. Titus 2 gives us the biblical mandate to invest in the next generation, so join us as we learn how to put that command into action. You will also receive valuable information to utilize within your simple church group times throughout the weekend.
