Saturday, February 17, 2024 | 8 AM – 5 PM
Camp Victory | Zumbro Falls, Minnesota
Women’s conference for women Ages 16+
Join us for a full day of teaching and worship as we explore God’s heart for love, sex, and relationships. When we look at the cultural climate, it’s hard to see how we can reclaim its intended sacredness for ourselves and our daughters. Discover why God created sexuality, what it reveals about the gospel, and how we can inspire the next generation with His good design. It is our hope that you’ll leave deeper in love with the God who lovingly pursues us!

MAIN SESSIONS
Session 1: CREATED TO LOVE
Ashley Giovannucci
As sexed beings, our sexuality points toward a deeper need – love. We desire to know and be known while unknowingly harboring barriers to intimacy and vulnerability. Our self-protective measures and shallow commitments fall short of the covenantal relationships that God designed. And yet, whether married or single, God is the One who promises to meet our deepest need.
Session 2: Sexual Revelation and the sexual revolution
Ashley Giovannucci
The history of the Sexual Revolution has its own narrative of morality, but God’s Word reveals what we should believe about love. From the Free Love Movement of the 1960s to the latest headlines in our national news, we will discover the roots of the Sexual Revolution began growing way back in the Garden.The Bible begins with a marital union in the Garden and ends with the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. While the culture has its own narrative of sexual morality, God’s Word reveals what we should truly believe about love and life.
Session 3: The Science of Sex: How the Biology supports the Theology of sex
AMBER IMPELLIZZERI
God designed our bodies to respond to sex in very specific and profound ways. In this session we will see how the biology of sex supports the theology of sex and how deviations from God’s design, including premarital sex and pornography, have very real chemical consequences within the human body.
Session 4: Reclaiming Sexuality
Ashley Giovannucci
Reclaiming sexuality begins in our own lives. If we want to transform our culture with the truth of God’s good design, we must first let His truths transform us.
