This conference equips Christian lay leaders, pastors, youth workers and parents to bring healing to a profoundly broken aspect of the church and to seek a healthy view of sex.

On October 4-5, 2024 we will present Equipped Conference 2024 at Prairie College - 350 5 Ave E, Three Hills, AB.

Our speaker, Jay Stringer, is the author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. Whether it’s pornography, an affair, or buying sex, unwanted sexual behavior, will inevitably affect you or someone you love. How can the average Christian or a caring church help those struggling?

Our speaker, Ashley Jameson, the co-author of Unravelled: Managing Love, Sex and Relationships. She guides women through the process of healing--exploring how our past pain and trauma, family of origin, and life circumstances shape how we behave in relationships. Ashley will speak to healing from intimate betrayal trauma brought on by addicted partners. How do we bring hope and healing to the wounded? 

Our speaker Heather Kolb is Associate Director of Product Development and a neuroscience professional for Pure Desire. She is a frequent conference speaker and contributor to Pure Desire resources, blogs, and podcasts. Heather has been a professor of psychology and criminal justice. She is the author of Digital Natives : Raising an Online Generation. Her workshop is geared to parents and youth workers in the trenches with adolescents.

A local counselling team has their finger on the pulse of our community and our surrounding regions. They know the needs since they see people facing them every day.
MtO Reach has helped us identify our conference topics and establish our goals.
