Wow! This year’s women’s Bible conference (Abide: Holding Fast in Suffering) was so successful and the attendees so thrilled with all the great teaching, that over 1,500 of those attending in person and those watching online have already preregistered for next year’s conference! That is amazing—and it’s still a year out! That tells you how hungry women are for truth from God’s Word!
Enjoy some of the photos of this year’s event, which also included a live stream hosted by Avery Foley who interviewed many of the speakers, vendors, and guests, providing exclusive content for our online audience.
Check out next year’s conference details—and register before it sells out (which will probably be very soon): Reclaim: Overcoming the War on Women for the Glory of God.
Now, Abide marked the 11th anniversary of Answers for Women (the first women’s conference was held in Legacy Hall at the Creation Museum in 2012 with 127 in attendance)—and 2023 was the first year the conference ever sold out (with hundreds more watching online). So, because this year was a special conference, we decided to give its founder and leader, Dr. Georgia Purdom, a special presentation. After Georgia spoke, to her surprise, I interrupted her on stage and had her daughter Elizabeth come up and present her with a bouquet of flowers, and then one of her curriculum staff, Dana, came up and presented Georgia with a shadow box designed by our artists, depicting all the themes of the women’s conferences she has conducted over the past 11 years.
As many have said over the years, “This is not the typical touch-feely conference; this has real ‘meat ‘and equips people, unlike many other women’s conferences.”
We received phenomenal feedback from those in attendance and those watching online. As many have said over the years, “This is not the typical touch-feely conference; this has real ‘meat ‘and equips people, unlike many other women’s conferences.” (Now we need a conference for men!)
You can still purchase the livestream (available through April) and enjoy the teaching from Abide. I encourage you to do so—each of the sessions was phenomenally helpful in building a theology of a correct understanding of suffering, and you will be challenged, encouraged, and blessed by it.
Register today for Reclaim, taking place April 4–6, 2024 at the Ark Encounter, at AnswersforWomen.org to hear from Ruth Chou Simons, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, Laura Perry Smalts, Congressman Mike and Kelly Johnson, Martyn Iles from Australia, Costi Hinn, Monica Cline, Mary A. Kassian, Dr. Georgia Purdom, and myself. You won’t want to miss it!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
