Breakout Session
RISE UP: Embracing the Seasons of Your Calling
Every woman in ministry—whether speaker, writer, or leader—experiences seasons of calling. Some feel the first stirrings of a dream; others are stepping into bold new spaces after loss, transition, or decades of serving faithfully in hidden places.
In this inspiring and practical session, Pat Layton—author, coach, and founder of the global ministry *Surrendering the Secret*—will help women identify their current sacred season and discover how to rise up with clarity, courage, and Christ-centered purpose. Through a biblical lens and life-mapping framework, attendees will gain tools to move forward in calling, whether they are launching, relaunching, or lingering in the liminal in-between.
Participants will:
• DISCERN their current Season of Calling using Pat’s signature Seasons of a Woman’s Life framework.
• DEFINE what “rising up” looks like in that season—emotionally, spiritually, and practically.
• DEVELOP a seasonal action plan using the Freedom Flower life-mapping tool and “RISE UP” biblical model.
• DELIGHT in knowing that every season has purpose—even the quiet or questioning ones.
