Everyday Faithfulness
Conference Dates: March 6-7, 2026
Registration Opens Sunday, January 4th!
On March 6-7, Glenna Marshall will walk us through portions of Hebrews to define faithfulness and explore the means of grace God has provided for our perseverance. The Christian life is not glamorous, nor is it a quick path to spiritual growth, but when we fix our gaze on Jesus, our ordinary, daily faithfulness produces a life of extraordinary faith.
The theme verse for the conference is Hebrews 10:23:
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.”
With 3 teaching sessions from Glenna Marshall, worship and music with Jessa Anderson, and various breakout sessions, this weekend will be a great time of encouragement, teaching, and fellowship.
Meet Our Speaker
Glenna Marshall is the author of the books The Promise is His Presence, Everyday Faithfulness, Memorizing Scripture, and Known & Loved. She has written for The Gospel Coalition, Revive Our Hearts, Risen Motherhood, Eternal Perspective Ministries, Mature Living, Brio, Journeywomen, Well-Watered Woman, and more. She has spoken at The Gospel Coalition’s Women’s conference, True Woman (a ministry of Revive Our Hearts), and travels all over the country teaching at women’s conferences and retreats. She has been a guest on Kirk Cameron’s television show, “Takeaways,” and has appeared on numerous podcasts. She writes regularly at her website and has two more books in queue for publication in 2026. Glenna’s writing is rooted in Scripture, connecting God’s Word to the challenging circumstances in life. As one who has experienced chronic pain due to multiple autoimmune disorders, she has tested God’s promises and found Him to be ever faithful and true, a theme that is found often in her work.
Glenna graduated with a degree in Creative Writing from Union University in 2003. She has been married to her husband William for twenty-two years and is the mother of two sons. She and her family live in Sikeston, Missouri, where her husband serves as pastor of their church, Grace Bible Fellowship.
In addition to writing, speaking, church ministry, and spending time with her family, Glenna loves to read fiction, take long walks, play the piano, write music, and drink good coffee. To connect with Glenna, find her at GlennaMarshall.com or on social media @glennadmarshall.
Meet Our Worship Leaders
Jessa and Jordan Anderson (of Jordan and Jessa) - After more than a decade of solo albums and EPs, touring the country, and leading worship together in the local church, Jordan and Jessa Anderson have come together to create their latest album, Hymns.
After meeting and marrying young, the couple pursued their shared love of music and songwriting, releasing their first solo projects in 2008. Their experience over the years of leading others in song and performing their original music, combined with their time in ministry to the local church, has given them a unique love for church music and encouraging others in the gospel through song.
Their desire is that their gospel-centered music will provide deep encouragement to the church body in our daily pursuit of Christ. Between tours, you can find Jordan and Jessa at home in Nashville, Tenn. with their children: Lorelei, Jagger, Sylvie, and Haddie.
We are thrilled to welcome Jessa and Jordan to lead us in worship and share some of the duo’s original songs. To learn more about Jessa and Jordan and to hear some of their music, visit https://www.jordanandjessa.com/home.

Breakout Sessions, Volunteers, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Title: Faithfulness in Friendship
Speakers: Laura Corombos, Diana Warden, Sarah Pinkley, Amanda Hamlett
Description: In Proverbs 17, we read that “A friend loves at all times.” Friendship is a gift from God to be appreciated and treasured, yet living in a fallen world can make relationships complicated. Join us for a panel discussion as we talk about the importance of friendship in the Christian life: how to cultivate lasting friendships, navigate conflicts that arise, and much more!
Title: Falling in Love with God's Word: How to Study the Bible and Know the Lover of Your Soul
Speakers: Jody Lubenec and Bobbie Praske
Description: A key to living a life of everyday faithfulness to the Lord is spending time every day faithfully reading His Word, the Bible. Perhaps you have desired to spend time on a regular basis reading the Bible to discover who Jesus, the Lover of your Soul is and how to follow Him more faithfully but find yourself with coffee in hand and your Bible on your lap asking, “Now what do I do? How do I understand what God is saying to me in His Word? I don’t have a seminary degree, so am I even smart enough to do this?”
If this is you, join us. We will share simple practical steps to make the time you spend with coffee in hand and your Bible on your lap become a rich and intimate time with your Savior as you hear what He has to say to you through His Word, the Bible. We will also provide some great resources that can help you dig further into the truths about the Lord that you will discover as you grow in faithfully reading His Word every day.
Title: God's Design for Wives: Faithfulness Rooted in Grace
Speaker: Deidre Johnson
Description: This breakout invites women to explore God’s loving and purposeful design for wives as a helper, focusing on a faithfulness that flows not from obligation, but from grace. Grounded in Scripture, we will look at how God calls wives to live out their role with devotion, humility, and strength, while relying fully on His grace rather than personal perfection.
Together, we will examine what biblical faithfulness looks like in everyday marriage—through love, respect, prayer, perseverance, and trust in God’s work in our life. This session will also address the challenges wives face and offer encouragement to rest in God’s grace when weaknesses, struggles, or seasons of difficulty arise.
This message is meant to encourage women to embrace God’s design with joy and confidence, knowing that true faithfulness is sustained not by striving, but by a deep dependence on God’s grace and His unfailing love.
Title: The Life-Changing Power of Scripture Memorization
Speaker: Glenna Marshall
Description: Many Christians are overwhelmed and intimidated by the prospect of memorizing Scripture. We feel our memories are too poor, our time is too limited, and our plates are too full. But God has designed our brains to memorize His Word! In this session we’ll explore both the why and the how behind Scripture memorization. When you give God your mind, He will change your life.
Title: Everyday Creativity
Speaker: Ali Procopio
Description: Join Ali Wunder Procopio in a collaborative art making project and discuss practical ways to use your creativity as an act of worship.
