Thank you SO MUCH for putting together this conference. It is going to be LIFE-changing for me. Challenging, inspiring, educational, entertaining… You did a PHENOMENAL job!

~Shelby, on the Ministry Online conference

I wanted to say thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of the conference this week. I was BLESSED beyond belief.

~Christin, on the Ministry Online conference

I attended my first Women Inspired Conference and loved it! Thank you for your ministry. What an awesome thing! To have a webinar like this available for us at home is awesome. Total blessing!

~Diana, on the Ministry Online conference

Thank you for listening to God’s leading and putting on this conference. I enjoyed every minute of it. One day by ‘accident’ I came across your blog and knew this conference was something God brought me to. I learned from the conference that I need to be spending time searching out God’s will before I move a head. Meanwhile, I now have new friends and new sites to investigate. This idea of doing conferences on line is really great. I like the chat feature, being able to connect with the other ladies and ask questions of the speaker.

~Peggy, on the Ministry Online conference

What an AWESOME conference this was. I was so touched and blessed by the speakers – the interaction with the attendees – and for the sessions I was able to attend, God really spoke through you to me. It has changed my perspective on God’s calling for me in ministry and just this morning and I was brainstorming, I was also quietly praying, “Lord, just use me. How and wherever you see fit.” My goals and ideas are not my focus anymore – and it’s no wonder I was getting frustrated!!! I am really inspired by the guidance and experience of the speakers and pray as God leads me forward that I will be a blessing to someone else the way you have all been to me!

~Debbie, on the Ministry Online conference

Thank you for your ministry. I love {love, love, love!} where this has been taking me. I’m so blessed to be able to participate in these webinars. Through AWI webinars my soul is filled to overflowing with the Spirit. I’m brimming with joy – spreading joy, spreading peace. I feel like I’m in the process of being groomed. I’m not one for manicures and pedicures, but I imagine they are like this: letting go and letting others work on your rough spots. I’m letting go and listening for God and letting God work on my rough spots.

~Fran, on the Ministry Online conference

I really needed this today! Amazing how God brings you to the right place at the right time. I loved her session and truly hope she is back next year!!

~Angela, on Natalie Witcher’s talk “Living with Me”

I loved this session. Natalie seems so strong in the Lord and what God led her to say really hit home. I am looking forward to hearing it again and again next month when it’s available for replay.

~Sherri, on Natalie Witcher’s talk “Living with Me”

So many good tips. Being almost 36, I’m not looking as young as I use to. Also being a busy Mom, I don’t have time or money to go to the spa. I’m glad she’s going to have some notes to download.  Great presentation. And I LOVE the saying…. Aging is not a disease, it’s a privilege.  So true!!!

~Christine, on Shelly Ballestero’s talk “Beauty and Balance”

Oh my goodness! Shelly did a wonderful job. So many great tips! Definitely getting her book and her notes!!

~Jenifer, on Shelly Ballestero’s talk “Beauty and Balance”

Wow, Janice. Go, girl! I’m learning so much, especially about the reality of depression and anxiety attacks. I bet a LOT of sisters are feeling very affirmed right now.

~Monica, on Janice Croze’s “Self Talk – the Good, the Bad and the Transforming”

Awesome presentation and answer session! Very well organized and I can’t wait to hear it again. I did not think that I needed this session but I so wanted to hear Janice, after seeing her face and reading her posts on “5 minutes for Mom”. But let me tell you, God had me, right where I needed to be surprisingly to me! Bless you Janice for not being afraid to open up and share this topic so well.

~Peggy, on Janice Croze’s “Self Talk – the Good, the Bad and the Transforming”

This talk was the most comforting for me. Just to know that I am not the only woman who can admit depression and life’s difficulties. Knowing that I can get through my bad days and negative thoughts with inspiration like this and the bible and prayer and my talks with God. Women need each other for support and I believe I have found yet another place to call home with these Inspired Women.

~Teresa, on Janice Croze’s “Self Talk – the Good, the Bad and the Transforming”

What she had to say really applied to me. I too had a problem with being friends with other women because I didn’t feel I could trust them. It was much easier to be friends with men because they were just who they were…. they wouldn’t stab me in the back. Even after I became a Christian, I had a hard time connecting with other women of faith who should have been easy to connect with. At least it seemed like I should have been. If Amy could be so forgiving towards someone who displayed the ultimate betrayal, I can reach out to women and show love towards women who have hurt me too.

~Christine, on Amy Bayliss’s talk on “Girlfriends: Thriving Past the Superficial”

I didn’t realize until I heard her speak that I’ve really become guarded with other women in the last few years. It’s like I’ve built a protective wall around me and said, “This far and no further.” That came to light more and more as she spoke. I also appreciated her friendly style and the stories that she told. I could easily relate to her. She also gave sound advice in the Q & A session.

~Bonita, on Amy Bayliss’s talk on “Girlfriends: Thriving Past the Superficial’

I am so glad I was able to tune in and listen to Amy speak about “girlfriends”! I too am very guarded and work on this daily. Amy, bless your heart – you’ve inspired me with your openness and candid approach to “girlfriends” and life!!

~Charlotte, on Amy Bayliss’s talk on “Girlfriends: Thriving Past the Superficial”

Cindy gave great delivery and made a serious a fun talk. Yes, unforgiveness is a prison!

~name withheld, on Cindy Beall’s talk “Choosing to Forgive”

I appreciated Cindy’s openness and honesty and that her husband has also been so public and open about it. You could really tell as she spoke and answered questions that she had truly walked through this horrific experience and found the power to forgive. I can’t imagine going through what she went through, but she’s an inspiration. I appreciate the fact that she sounded so warm and caring too.

~name withheld, on Cindy Beall’s talk “Choosing to Forgive”

Even though I haven’t been through her experience, I am still able to use most of what she said because I face instances every day where I can choose to be offended or choose to forgive. Sometimes I make the right choice and other times not.

~name withheld, on Cindy Beall’s talk “Choosing to Forgive”

I especially appreciated the reminder that it’s not all about me. When she spoke about trying to sell her house, I never would’ve thought to think that God was working on things for the buyer! Thank you, Marybeth, for your encouraging talk! It was also refreshing to hear your use and application of Scripture.

~Marsha, on Marybeth Whalen’s talk “Inspired to Live Financially Free”

What got me the most was where she talked about Acts 3:1-10 (Peter and the beggar). Here, Jesus walked by this beggar, but it wasn’t in His timing yet to heal. It was when Peter went by. God wants to give us what we NEED!

~Jen, on Marybeth Whalen’s talk “Inspired to Live Financially Free”

Thank you to the Amies, and all the others who made this conference such a success. All the sessions I attended really spoke to me. Even the ones I did not think held any relevance to me. It just goes to show that God knows what you need even when you do not. I truly needed the encouragement that I was on the right track. Stepping out in faith to walk on the water when you do not know how to swim is quite scary. With all the words of encouragement I have had placed in my heart over the past 4 days I was able to step out of the boat.

~Raye Ann, on Get Revived conference

Ohhh Allison…I thought I came here to get info for a friend & her adult children, when all of what you were saying hit home for ME! Now this does not surprise me because that is how BIG our GOD is! You can bet that I need every bit of nugget you have on your site and through your 12 weeks to Freedom. I so appreciate every morsel that you shared. You have pioneered a great program! Your excellent presentation sparked many fires. Thank you for taking the time to share & minister these truths. May God continue to bless your ministry and pour abundance on you & your training. I saw so much application for our parents also…but for me, mine are not here for that to be accomplished…but from heaven, they will know my heart.

~Peggy, on Allison Bottke’s session “Setting Boundaries with Adult Children”

Bless you Cazandra for showing us it’s never too late!!! Thank you for sharing & showing us that we do not have to accomplish “it” by any specific age. It is a process, step by step, God reveals and He used your “talk” to free so many to pursue this I pray. Thanks for opening this & showing us in the Bible. May God bless you for giving us this push!

~Peggy, on Cazandra MacDonald’s session “Forty and Qualified!”

Thanks so much Lisa! Your workshop confirmed that I am doing what God wants me to do (including homeschooling). I took the quiz you gave us the link to. That also confirmed things for me (teaching & writing, just keep coming up for me). You also inspired me to work harder to achieve the things that God has laid on my heart since I was a child. Thank you again!

~Misty, on Lisa McKay’s session “Bigger than your Biography: Allowing God to Establish Your Personal Ministry”

What you shared meant so much to me. I have times when I feel like I know exactly what I am supposed to do and other times I question everything I do. Your humility about feeling like you did not have a talent really ministered to my heart. Our God is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your hearts and your lives to encourage us! Blessings to you both!

~Julianne, on Melissa Michaels and Allison Worthington’s session “Be Inspired By What GOD Can Do Through YOU”

I really enjoyed Darlene! I am really a health nut, but I am still dealing with bad habits…I needed the messages on feeding my spirit and soul, as well as freeing my body. I know I need to treat my body as God’s temple, but…well easier said than done, sometimes. Thanks so much, Darlene!

~Misty, on Darlene Schacht’s session “Living Well, Successfully”

I love my dear sister, Lynn! She speaks to my heart so often with her love, honesty, and wisdom from God. I have lived so much of what Lynn speaks of and so for me, it is always a confirmation and reminder about the tiny details where God makes Himself known! May He be praised forevermore!

~Julianne, on Lynn Donovan’s session “Front Row Seat”

This was spectacular! Lysa’s transparency is so beautiful. She’s so inspiring and REAL!

~Dineen, on Lysa TerKeurst’s session “What Happens When Women Say Yes to God”

Your conference is a great resource for us. Many women are wanting more information in these areas, however, I feel it’s even more powerful when we can receive it from and with like-minded women.

~Robin, on Ministry Online conference

I have absolutely loved this conference and in the comfort of my home with my 3yo running around. We have the speakers loud so mommy can hear it while playing and doing daily duties. I have met so many new friends. I am now just figuring out my facebook. I think I have my blog figured out and my tweet deck figured out, now I am attempting this. This 40 something doesn’t have enough brain cells to store all this high tech stuff. I hope everyone is enjoying the conference. I love it, love it, love it!!!

~Karen, on Ministry Online conference

I have completed three out of four days of the conference. Each evening my husband has asked me “What did you learn today?” and I have tried to answer in some sane fashion, while my mind has been spinning with new ideas, concepts and convictions. I have learned that it’s not about me, it’s all about Him, and all that I say, write and do is (or should be) to bring Him glory. Have I been inspired? I think perhaps it would be better to say I’ve been ignited! Anyone else feel the same way?

~Karin, on Ministry Online conference

I would do this again in a heartbeat! I was blessed beyond measure by the conference this week. I knew I needed it and am so glad that I did this for myself, for spiritual renewal for my spirit. I’m also looking forward to downloading the sessions to listen to some of the ones I missed and listen to some all over again.

~Monica, on Get Revived conference

I learned so much today, I feel God teaching me things already about what I’ve heard. I can’t wait for the next 3 days of conferences!!

~Annabelle, on Ministry Online conference

At the conference, we learned, laughed, even cried together – all through our Internet access. Who says nothing good can come from cyberspace? Humph. I’d sign up again – and still go back for more. There is nothing like getting encouragement and godly teaching from like-minded sisters. Loved the chat feature. That really made it interactive.

Then when we weren’t listening, chatting and asking questions at the conference site, we were on Twitter with the #awi hash tag to talk even more. How very ladylike of us. Looking for ways to talk. The good thing about the extra place to chat, was that we didn’t fill the conference chat up with too much silliness.

It wasn’t a conference, it was a Church. My favorite moment of the conference was when Heather shared her concern about her MRI scheduled the next day. How amazing it was to watch these ladies encourage, pray and love all over this home schooling mama. It was beautiful. From what I remember, there was a bit of “I’m crying” posted in the chat box (yes, I was teary too.)
