Program HighlightsSpeaker: Nicole Johnson

GirlfriendsCoffee shop waitress Tammie Jean shares her southern fried wisdom about the value and joy of having girlfriends. “Friendship is strongest when the Lord is at the center of it.”

Are you an Invisible Woman?…You know your favorite color,

but no one asks any more.…You run the risk of fainting when someone says “thank you.”…Your kids don’t know how their socks get back in the drawer or their lunch gets made.

“To the builder of a great cathedral, invisibility can be beautiful.”

A bestselling author, performer, and motivational speaker, Nicole Johnson has taken the lessons and experiences of women across America and around the world, connected them with her own, and transformed them into not only an extraordinary life-changing philosophy, but also extraordinarily touching performances filled with warmth, comedy and poignancy. Playing to sold-out crowds of approximately three million women as part of Women of Faith, the nation’s largest women’s conference, Nicole’s “Fresh Brewed Life” message is giving “hope for the daily grind” to thoughtful women who are motivated but often find themselves overextended. Her latest book, Dramatic Encounters with God: 7 Life-Changing Lessons of Love takes readers on an imaginative journey into the real stories of real people whose lives were forever changed by a dramatic encounter with God—and found hope along the way.
