PRESENTATION TITLES

Home Improvement

Larry and Lorinda Fincher

When you think of home improvement, a lot of things might come to mind—maybe it’s fixing a leaky faucet, installing that shiny new appliance, or even tackling a full-blown renovation. Some of you might even think of Tim the Tool Man and his sidekick Al from that classic TV show, Home Improvement. But in this session, we’re diving into a different kind of home improvement—one that’s all about making your family stronger and closer.

Just like any project around the house, improving your family starts with a solid plan. In this session, we’ll be using Romans 12:2 as our blueprint, guiding us on how to make real, lasting changes. So, get ready to roll up your sleeves, and let’s talk about how to bring out the best in your family, one step at a time.

Sex Improvement

Mark and Jenny Clements

“Marriage is to be held  in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled”

(Hebrews 13:4)

“Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth”

(Proverbs 5:18)

“May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is sweeter than wine”

(Song of Solomon 1:2)

“The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed”

(Genesis 2:25)

What does the Bible teach about sex? Why does a couple need to have a healthy sex life? How can sex be improved? These are questions to which we will seek biblical answers in “Sex Improvement.” We will learn, most importantly, that healthy, enjoyable sex is not the ultimate goal of marriage, but it is a byproduct of sanctification when husbands and wives embrace their biblical roles in the family. Like everything else that is valuable, good sex takes discipline and hard work, but it is worth pursuing.

Making Tomorrow Better!

Dr. Eric and Keri Spann

Keri and I love the depth of the word “transformed” in Romans 12:2.  It is echoed in II Corinthians 3:18, showing that in the normal Christian life that we are transformed (changed) from glory to glory.”

Changed. Glory.  We should (and could) be the people who have such godly self-control that the world sees our disciplined moderation, and in wonder, beholds the product of an inner power that could only come from God and give Him glory.  We Christians, of all people, ought to be living examples of change that can be seen – the external, visible result of power that can’t be denied or explained away.  That is why Romans 12:2 says that our transformation “proves what is that good,and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Almost everyone who reads this at this retreat realizes that there are wise choices they could (and should) make with their health, but have likely let excuses and lesser things crowd out life-giving disciplines.  Your tomorrows can be better all the way to your last days, but it will take changes in knowledge, thought patterns, habits and lifestyle.

Keri and I will share eternal truths, medical facts, real life examples, and 30 years of our battle for godly health from a source of power that makes godly discipline a joyful part of life.

Renovated Finances

Terry Bewley

Albert Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”.  Are you tired of not getting ahead financially?  Are you tired of money being central to every argument you have with your spouse?  Perhaps what you need is a renovation!  Join me as we discuss how to have a metamorphosis in our marriage and finances.

Overcoming the Big Bad Wolf in Marriage

Dubs and Jane Byers

Have you ever seen videos of houses that are near completion and a strong storm comes and demolishes them? (www.tinyurl.com/yr8sxbw4) What a tragedy! Another tragedy is when couples don’t fully use the biblical tools at their disposal to construct and improve the home they are building.

In this session we will examine the keys to strengthen and enrich the home so the wolf can’t come in with a huff and puff and blow your home down. We know that Christ is the foundation to any good marriage. Add to that foundation trust, respect and loyalty and a couple can build a structure that will last a lifetime. Put in check misplaced priorities, poor communication, co-dependency, and terrible decision making, and you have an unbeatable union.

It’s Demo Day: Tightening the Knot

Jaycob Kramer

I love to work with wood, especially in restoring existing furniture. Before you can restore something, you have strip it down to expose the raw wood. Marriage is the same way. Throughout the life of marriage we attack, neglect, hurt, and dishonor the most important human in our lives. When we do that there is a build up of frustration, resentment, and unresolved issues that cause us to get struct in a dangerous relationship rut, but that’s not the way it has to be. God wants much more for your marriage. You see, we tend to think that our “real” problems are fighting patterns, power struggles, poor communication, or unmet needs, but below the surface lies the real culprit, disconnection. The Bible shouts that when a man and woman come together in marriage the two become one flesh (Mark 10:8). It’s the most powerful, meaningful, and intimate connection there is, but when the demands and trials of life hit, we find that this close connection has changed. And as a result, we attack, ignore, neglect, and disrespect each other. Before we can jump into building a stronger marriage relationship we have to deal with the ruts we have accumulated. Join me as we take 3 bold moves in building the strong, meaningful, and lasting marriage that you want.

 

Honey Do’s For a Healthy Marriage

Toby and Angela Crymes

Visualize a beautiful new home with all of the latest and greatest furnishing and fixtures. It looks like something that could be on the cover of a housing magazine. It is the type of home that your neighbors dream of having. Now visit the same home in your mind five, ten, or twenty years down the road. Except this time, factor in that the yard has never been mowed, the house has never been dusted, the hail damage was never repaired, and the refrigerator that went out is still sitting in the kitchen with the original food in it. Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing has been attended to. What do you see?

Of course, we would be crazy to leave our dream home in such a state of neglect. We would never do that, right? What about when it comes to our marriages? Even the best of marriages need a little “dusting” from time to time, maybe a little “updating”, “decorating” or even some “repairs”. Your marriage is beautiful and great; but every marriage, just like every home, needs upkeep and maybe even some renovations from time to time. Join us as we look at some “honey do’s” from God’s Word that can keep our marriages strong and beautiful.

Kids Construction Zone – Character Building Going On

Ross and Amy McBroome

How do you build these little miniature versions of yourself? How do you construct, fortify, and strengthen them to withstand the storms and the trials of life? How do you get them through the weight and worry of the teenage years without losing your mind?  If you enter this construction zone, we will look NOT at how to build a house but instead how to build your children. Practical ways to fashion them into the men and women God would have them to be. It will not be easy. There may even be a few injuries along the road of this project. We all know there’s times when parenting is the equivalent of stepping on your kids’ Legos while barefooted in your living room. We are gonna look at practical tools to help you build up the young men and women that God has called on you to grow.
