Boldly conference social square 1

Join a movement of Christian women ascending BOLDLY, integrating our faith and work while pursuing meaning and purpose in our everyday lives.

BOLDLY is the first-of-its-kind Faith + Work Conference by women for women. It is a LIVE virtual event launching October 8, 2021, 9am-4pm CT.

BOLDLY will encourage, equip, and empower working women as Christ’s ambassadors in their important workplace mission fields.

In the United States, 45 million working women identify as Christian, yet less than 30% connect in faith community. We stand at a critical crossroads with many of us lacking support from like-minded women. Recent studies affirm that women in the workplace wrestle with:

  • pay inequity
  • the need to always "be on"
  • blurred boundaries between work and home
  • isolation and exhaustion
  • finding God at work
  • the challenge of career advancement
  • working-mom guilt and the juggle of daily double-shifts for work and family

BOLDLY is a place for working women to come together. To listen. To learn. To inspire. To encourage. To connect. To equip. To empower. To seek answers to deep questions. To identify and take next steps together.

We can't wait for you to join us! Get your tickets today.

What are the conference topics?

Session 1: Created BOLDLY… with Purpose
This session focuses on the foundations of theology of work: who we are as the imago Dei, our calling as Christ’s ambassadors in the workplace, the lies that keep us from joining Christ’s mission, and the truth of the purposeful work God has created in advance for each one of us to do. We’ll look at Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to see how our story as Christ’s “sent ones” weaves seamlessly into God’s Big Story of the Bible.

Session 2: Leading BOLDLY… with Faith Perspective
As ambassadors of Christ, all women are leaders in our daily circles of influence, and God has strategically placed us in our workplace mission fields for such a time as this. Session 2 focuses on how we lead confidently as women with our unique and powerful gifting, talents, passions, and experience. We’ll look at how we overcome the imposter syndrome, and how we trade perfection and achievement that bring glory to ourselves for excellence in our work that brings glory to God. Speakers will share practical tools and leadership tools.

Session 3: Living BOLDLY… with Passion
This session focuses on what it looks like to live out our faith through our everyday work. Jesus Christ is inviting each one of us to join in the work he’s already doing in our workplaces. We’ll learn how others are living boldly with passion, and we’ll explore what God might be inviting us into as we focus on three individual takeaways and craft three next steps. Each participant will also choose two breakout sessions with industry experts and women who are digging deeper into “how to” topics for faith and work integration.
