How to Host a Women’s Conference in Your Church: 4 Easy Steps


Conferences are great opportunities to learn from speakers as they share biblical insights, wisdom, and unique life experiences. But depending on when and where the conference is held, it may be impossible for you to attend.

That’s why Faithlife brings the best conferences right to you.

Join Elyse Fitzpatrick as she teaches you how to overcome what’s been holding you back from experiencing true joy in your Bible studies. In her virtual conference, Women Delighting in the Word, Elyse reveals how God’s Word is a love story, and every chapter is a scene that speaks of God’s eternal love for you, as a woman. Each section of the Bible—the Law, history, poetry, and the Epistles—points to his love and the good news of redemption through his Son.

This is a great event for small groups! So here are four easy steps to hosting it for your family and friends:

1. Purchase a family or small group streaming license.

Purchase a license for your family or your small group. If you’re not involved in a small group, it might be the perfect event to start one of your own! Or just gather your friends and enjoy learning from Elyse together.

2. Pick any date to watch between now and July 31.

The event already happened, but you can still stream it any time before July 31. That’s plenty of time to pick a date where everyone can join. You can even pause the stream and have times of discussion or build multiple study sessions out of it.

3. Plan a big party—provide food and drinks.

Your small group license is good for up to 25 people, so make it a party!

4. Invite family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and learn about the Word together.

Download a digital announcement to share with your guests!

Be sure to plan now because the conference stream will end on July 31!

Elyse Fitzpatrick is a frequent speaker at churches, retreats, and large conferences such as The Gospel Coalition and True Woman. She has an MA in biblical counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary and has authored twenty-three books on daily living and the Christian life. Elyse lives with her husband in San Diego, California.

Get The End of Me for Free, Plus 3 More Kyle Idleman Books for under $7

When pastor and author Kyle Idleman tried to finish the simple sentence, “Jesus became real when . . .” it began a journey of discovery resulting in his new book The End of Me.

Kyle realized that Jesus Christ becomes real for each of us when we come to the end of ourselves. And for that to happen, we need to embrace the counter-intuitive teachings of Jesus Christ: brokenness is the way to wholeness, mourning is the path to blessing, and emptiness is required to know true fullness.

How to Install the Faithlife Keyboard on Your iOS Device

The inspirational Bible art that you’ve come to love is now easier than ever to share with your friends.

Get the Faithlife Keyboard—free in the app store—and follow the setup instructions to start sending beautiful verse graphics, GIFs, and Faithmoji in your text messages.

Here’s how to get started:

After downloading the app, open up your phone’s settings. Scroll down and tap “General.”

Scroll down and select “Keyboard.”

Then tap on “Keyboards” up at the top to see all keyboards you’ve installed and added.

You won’t see the Faithlife Keyboard until you tap “Add New Keyboard” and select it.

You’ll find the Faithlife Keyboard below “Third-Party Keyboards.” Tap to add it.

This brings you back to the menu with all your keyboards. To ensure that your new keyboard functions properly, select “Faithlife Keyboard.” A new screen will say, “Allow full access.”

When you slide the button to the right, you’ll see a window that says, “Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type, including things you have previously typed with this keyboard. This could include sensitive information . . .”

At Faithlife, your privacy is extremely important. This message simply means that in order for the keyboard to function properly, it needs to access the network. When you select any of the graphics, GIFs, or Faithmojis, the keyboard saves that and allows you to “paste” it in your message. Allowing full access also enables the search function to work. In order for us to know what verse, Faithmoji, or praise badge you’re trying to find, the keyboard has to store what you’re searching for.

After selecting, “allow full access” the keyboard will work! Try it out.

Open up a message, click on the globe icon in the lower left and peruse the new features.

You’ll see a list of graphics by collection on the home icon. You can sort graphics by book of the Bible or topic, and a variety of Faithmoji and praise badges. Above the graphics is a search box so you can find exactly what you are looking for quickly.

Download the Faithlife Keyboard for iOS and start sending beautiful text graphics today!
