No matter our season in life, it seems that busyness overwhelms us. We juggle demands of work, family, ministry, and still try to find time to for ourselves. Like hamsters on a wheel, we run vigorously with no end in sight. In this entertaining, interactive, Scripture-based talk, Elizabeth helps the audience identify their busyness personality type (Prover, Pleaser, Partyer, Provider) and understand how they can break free from the cycle of busyness.

Audience: women, MOPS, young marrieds

Chances are most of us know someone who is divorced or going through the process of divorce. Unfortunately many people do not know how to respond to their friends and family when this occurs. Elizabeth will take a close look at how we can support our friends with love and grace without diluting God's truth about marriage and divorce.  She'll offer Biblical insight on the issue of divorce, as well as practical "Do's and Don'ts". If you have ever struggled with this sensitive issue, Elizabeth's insight will give you the tools you need to have those difficult conversations.
