Why YOU Belong at Radiant
Weekend Features
Evening Activities
Get pumped for these beautiful activities and much more.
Breakout Topics
Get ready for a day full of whatever refreshes you. This year, we’ve divided our breakouts into four categories to help you choose the sessions that will best fill your cup. There will be two sessions in each category offered during both breakout times on Saturday.

As moms, we often carry guilt from the past, anxiety about the future, and comparison in the present. This session will help you identify what is weighing you down, surrender it to God, and step into the freedom to be fully present in this season of your life.

Explore practical and intentional ways to guide teens into a deeper relationship with God. Through shared experiences and honest discussion, this panel will offer encouragement, insight, and tools to help parents influence hearts and nurture lasting faith.

Join us for honest stories and lived experiences told by Native voices through a Jesus-centered lens. Panelists with deep connections to Native communities will share how faith, family, culture and community can help children and families feel truly seen, heard, valued and welcomed.

Behavior is communication, especially for young children without the words to express their needs. Explore practical ways to identify sensory needs, use visual supports and build lifelong regulation skills with the kids in your care.

Join a culinary queen for a practical cooking demonstration of a family-friendly and freezer-friendly recipe. Pack your cookbook with an easy meal option, kitchen and baking shortcuts, time-saving strategies, and the confidence to create satisfying meals for your entire family to enjoy.

Come learn how to care for your body from a place of acceptance rather than striving. Participants will gain practical strategies for developing sustainable wellness practices, improve their relationship with food and exercise and embrace their bodies with more grace, gratitude and confidence.

Enjoy a relaxed, self-paced crafting experience with easy-to-follow instructions for home-inspired projects that cultivate warmth and hospitality. Leave with a beautiful creation or a take-home kit to complete any unfinished projects. No Pinterest pressure here!
