Women's Church Retreats and Christian Conferences

While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others. -- Dr. Rick Warren

Your journey to self acceptance can be an incredible ride! The Word teaches that we are a new creation. We are not the same person we were before we accepted Jesus. The old is gone! The power that raised Jesus from the dead is in each one of us. We have been "made over." Many of us want to believe that, but we need help. These presentations will show you how to live as the new person God intended you to be. We each have that deep desire to be the princess God created us to be--a princess with a renewed mind, spirit and image, but we aren't quite sure how to tap into this gift.

Secondly, God commands us to pass our knowledge onto younger woman (Titus 2:3-5). Be a Titus woman. Teach, train, motivate, and inspire someone younger than you. These presentations will give you the tools to teach younger women to makeover their self worth and face life's challenges.

I. I'm Beautiful? Why Can't I See It? ~ Two Complete Sessions

Too many women today look in the mirror and see "repulsive," "fat," "stupid," "unloved" even though friends, family and colleagues have the opposite opinion. If I'm so beautiful, why can't I see it? Deep down each woman wants to take back control of her life. Our foundation for security and success in all areas of our life is in knowing who we are in Jesus Christ. This is where we find our real and true identity. We come to know this by learning what God says about us in the living Bible. That is His Word to us. Once we understand who we are in Jesus Christ, then our mission is to get our mind (first) and actions to line up with God's Word. As we begin the journey to renew our minds into a Christlike mind then we begin to focus on what God thinks about us, and tells us to do, versus focusing on our weaknesses and following what the world says to do.

Kimberly found spiritual restoration and brings a clear message of hope and restoration. God has specific processes for setting people free from negative body image, low self-esteem and emotional eating. Kimberly discusses biblical processes to overcome and take back control.

LORD said to Samuel, "The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." -- 1 Samuel 16:7

II. Never Be The Same ~ Three Complete Sessions

Most of us have wondered: "God says I am a new creation in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17). Why don't I feel like it?"

Never Be the Same: Renew Your Heart and Mind and Heal Your Body is a life-changing tool for women who truly want to stop doing what they don't want to do. The apostle Paul reiterated over and over that the key to Christlike transformation is to abandon everything connected with our old way of life. Instead, we are to put on an entirely new way of life, renewing our attitudes and thoughts until they reproduce God's character in us (Ephesians 4:22-24). His message describes a battle for our mind, heart and body.

Today, scientists confirm that every thought and behavior involves a complex interplay between the heart, the mind and the body. We do not merely experience anger in our minds, we feel it biologically in our body. If we were to look at our brain we may even see a dark abscess caused by the stronghold of anger. There was not only a spiritual reason for Paul's battle cry, but a psychological and biological reason.  

Kimberly provides connectivity to understanding our old self, mind renewal, and putting on the new self through evaluating: the spiritual-the light and the dark side of spiritual conflict; the biological-our brain and body; and the psychological-our mind and personality. Paul instructed the believers of his day on how to accomplish this transformation. Even though they were taught by the apostle Paul himself, they encountered resistance. Daily they fought with their old way of life, their flesh; the world in which they lived; and with the adversary, Satan. They only claimed victory as they put on their new self.

Today we don't have a lot apostle Pauls teaching us how to be made new in the attitude of our minds, how to put on the new self created to be like God and how to successfully win our personal battles. What we do have is a God who encourages us to look deep within to his supernatural workmanship so we might discover him and a holiness that sets us free to be who we should be, not who we think we are.

The intention of this seminar is to guide the audience through the Ephesians 4:22-24 process and to give them an arsenal dubbed R-E-S-I-S-T. It is divided into three parts:

1. Resisting the Old Self (Eph. 4:22)
2. Renewing the Mind …and Heart and Body (Eph. 4: 23)
3. Putting On the Image of God (Eph. 4:24)

Kimberly's objective is to point the audience to the one who has the ability to literally open their mind and heart, and break every stronghold, ultimately leading to thinking, feeling and living better. How life would be more peaceful if we could break down old walls and defuse pessimistic, toxic thoughts and emotions (the old self), and then raise up new ones while healing our body (the new self)! One thing is certain, according to the Word of God, taking care of our heart and controlling our mind (thought life) brings freedom, health and joy to our soul and life. Never be the same!

Creating A Battle Plan for Overcoming Holiday Stress

Don't let the stresses associated with holiday preparation and get togethers ruin your spirit … fight back!
Preparing for Christmas, or any event, requires spiritual preparation which should be planned like a well thought out battle. If you haven't got your plan in place you'll suffer casualties. Remember back to when the holidays filled your spirit with happiness? There is more to the holidays than simply wading through and wishing they were over. We all know what's coming. So much to do …so many places to go … so little time. It's enough to make your head spin. The holiday season is notorious for raising people's natural stress levels by leaps and bounds. It seems that there is "something" fighting us, something more powerful that is against us.

We have an enemy out there, named Satan, who hates Christmas because it is a celebration of Jesus' life. His most common tactical weapon this time of year is stress. The good news you have the power to choose to diffuse the stress and change your life today. You will be given resistance tactics and techniques you can apply immediately in the fight for freedom and joy during the holiday season … and the rest of the year. Experience the joyous gatherings, shopping, setting up the Christmas tree, and everything else related to the holiday season without fear of losing control.

Eating Disorders ~

Negative Body Image ~ You Are What You Eat
Eating disorders are an epidemic today. Women and young girls who struggle with an eating disorder will testify to the powerful grip that "Ed" has on them. Malnutrition occurs when we refuse to nourish ourselves properly. Eating disorders are serious and have life-threatening implications. Kimberly knows firsthand what an eating disorder and malnutrition can do to the physical body. Eventually she learned to feed herself a consistent healthy spiritual diet which freed her from the bondage of fear, depression, shame and worthlessness. In this talk, Kimberly guides the audience through four steps to a "nourished" spiritual life: (1) Spend Time With God (2) Prepare For Change (3) Know Who You Are In Christ, and (4) Reflect The Image of God.

Ministering to the Disordered Eater ~ For youth and women ministry leaders

Today EDs are being diagnosed in girls as young as 5 years old and as old as 65 years. Whether we are 5 or 60, we all ask the same question: AM I BEAUTIFUL? We all are searching for significance and want to be validated.

A NIKE AD: One day you're strolling around in the buff and looking the world straight in the eye without as much as a blush. Then wallop! Puberty. Boys. Magazine images. Suddenly the mirror is no longer your friend. So who defined your template of beauty? Who said you weren't okay? Get real. Make your body the best it can be for one person. Yourself. Just do it.

Why children so young? Why anyone? Kimberly will answer those questions and offer hope.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. - 1 Peter 5:10-11
