A Journey of Revelation and Empowerment
For Girls in 7th through 12th Grade
The goal of "In Their Shoes" is to give you resources to apply in your daily life. With this wisdom, you can truly be a force of change in your own life and in the life of others. Our goal is to empower you to set aside the stereotypical teenage drama and claim your heritage as the Daughter of the King. We want you to know -
"For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37
Our workshops focus on issues teen girls face everyday. This is an all day conference that begins with registration check in from 8am-8:30am and conference ending at 6pm. Snacks will be provided in the morning and afternoon with a full lunch around noon. The conference is 100% free to you. You will receive a Daughter of the King conference bag, notebook & pen. Most conferences will also give a conference t-shirt, with all conferences giving you a charm bracelet at registration with two charms. You will then receive two more charms at each workshop and the luncheon.
Mean Girls
Why are girls so catty, gossipy, and just plain mean to each other? Women need women; yet we all struggle at one time or another with female friendships. It has been said "Hurting people hurt people." We will explore this theory, and using God's word as the blue print for relationships, we will challenge our girls to become the friend God created them to be! We will discuss how low self-esteem leads to the real dangers of misuse of social media including Facebook, TikTok, chat rooms, and sexting along with their long-term consequences.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Faith, Food, and Fitness
Teen girls have a difficult time giving praise for a body that has been “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Stress from navigating newfound freedoms, added responsibilities at home and school, cramping and PMS combined with surging hormones create a breakout here and a big bout of emotions there. But teenage years do not have to be a crazy hormonal roller coaster ride. We will explore how a properly fueled and active body can end hormone imbalance, which will greatly reduce depression, anxiety, mood swings and weight fluctuations.
Unhealthy teenage body image is directly related to low self-esteem. Insecure young girls are more likely to focus on the negative messages around them and make unrealistic comparisons between their bodies and what they see as 'ideal' bodies. We are going to explore body image issues from a biblical perspective, and offer truth to teen girls by dealing with the root cause of body negativity. They will be empowered to clean the distorted image-obsessed mirror society has given them and give their body image the awe and respect it deserves for being a thinking, breathing, heart-pounding, disease-fighting miracle machine.
For too long teens have only been told what “not to do” and were left confused by their changing bodies and no inspiring vision of God’s design for life and love. This is not an anatomy class lecture on the birds and the bees, but an open and frank discussion on sex, sexuality, and sexual ethics. We will end the tyranny of the lies causing guilt and shame to those who have had sexual experiences, either willingly or through sexual coercion or assault. Our teens will leave equipped with biblical answers as they pursue God’s amazing design for life and love.
