Supporting Sisters: The Lost Art of Bearing Each Others Burdens and Listening Well

Saturday August 15, 2026 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Meeting Room CD

We all struggle from time to time. But one of the sweetest gifts within the Lord’s church is that we are never meant to carry those burdens alone. God, in His wisdom, has given us sisters who come alongside us to encourage, support, and help shoulder the weight.

One of the most important ways to show support is to engage in active listening. We will discuss examples of how Jesus and others in the Bible actively listened to those who needed to be heard. You will gain practical tools to grow as a thoughtful, compassionate listener, and when a sister comes to you and says, “I’m struggling. Can we talk?” you will feel equipped to respond with confidence and say, “Yes, I will listen.”

Do I Have the Humility to Receive Correction and Grow?

Tuesday August 18, 2026 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Hotel Cades Cove

A misconception of spiritual growth is it’s always “comfortable.” The reality is spiritual growth is rarely comfortable. A more accurate reality; it is a series of constant corrections based on biblical truths. This session will look at specific biblical passages as well as neurobiology to examine why we resist correction and how we can embrace it to grow in Christ.
