God’s love for us transcends any love that we could ever imagine. Oh, the joy we experience when we learn to abide in His love!
Can you imagine the depths and heights that we can reach in Christ if we choose to connect, commit to and obey Him in every area of our life?
A woman who truly understands what it means to abide in Jesus’ love is a woman who has staying power. She is going to remain with God as He beckons her. She is not to be moved! Join us at the 2021 He Loves Me Women’s Conference so that you too can be deeply inspired and empowered to Abide. It’s an amazing and transformative experience!

Friday Master Classes
Master Classes are one of the true gems of the He Loves Me conference. Led by dynamic subject matter experts, designed specifically for women, these classes are interactive biblical-based teachings that empower and encourage women to abide with Jesus Christ in every life area.
Lead Like a Woman
10:30 a.m. edt
Deborah Smith Pegues
Every day, whether they are navigating the business world or serving in a nonprofit organization, women hear that they are not good enough. Some say that women are too emotional to lead, and the way they act, speak and even think is detrimental to success. This Master Class is designed to challenge those falsehoods by showing how a woman’s uniquely female qualities can position her for success — if she knows how to use them. Deborah Pegus will teach you to embrace a number of traits that can help you excel as a leader, as well as help you eliminate tendencies that could be hindering your success. Prepare to be empowered to walk boldly in the path of your leadership journey while experiencing fulfillment.

Abide in Prayer
10:30 a.m. edt
Rev. Lettie Carr
She’s a lawyer, she’s a preacher but let us tell you — she’s also a prayer warrior. Reverend Lettie Carr is going to teach you the secret to abiding, which is intimate conversations with God. Prayer is the cornerstone to obedience. Having that connection with God is critical and this Master Class will teach you just how to do it.
Wives Abiding in Obedience

First Lady Meredith Sheppard
Meredith Sheppard is no stranger to our Grace Girls. Join her for this Master Class where she will share tools to aid wives in staying committed, connected, and consistent in their relationship with Christ. Join us for a candid conversation and gain tools to thrive in your marriage.

Since God is Doing a New Thing; What Shall We Say Then About These Matters

Cherilyn Holloway

It’s Over Now!
10:30 a.m. edt
Minister Carol Owens Ford
As Women of God, it is time for us to get to a point in our lives that we lift up our voices and declare, “enough is enough.” No woman deserves to be abused. We declare “it’s over now,” as we trust God to fight for us because the mountain is too big for us to carry any longer. God can calm the raging seas of circumstances and emotions that we cannot and should not try to handle. In this Master Class, survivor Carolyn Ford will teach you how to live your best life, no matter who you are, when you face the storms of life with a made up mind for certainty — it’s over now!

Join Michelle Singletary McIntyre for this Master Class as she walks you through weathering a financial storm. This journey starts with examining your past, present and future. We’ll review what bills need to be paid first, when is it right to dip into savings, why budgeting isn’t a bad word and how to keep from panicking when the stock market is down. Come learn about God’s tools to secure your financial freedom and future.
Finding God’s Peace After Sexual Assault
12:30 p.m. edt
Reverend Keshia Dixon
We know her as Pastor KD, but if you don’t know her, you’re going to get to know her. In this Master Class, Pastor KD will guide you through finding the peace of God while understanding what sexual assault and abuse is. We will talk about the signs of sexual assault and abuse while taking you on a journey of healing that will allow you to find God’s peace, so you can be all that God has called you to be. It does not matter what title you hold in this life, God’s peace frees you of the assault and abuse. Please keep in mind that every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted and 1 in 6 women and girls experience sexual violence.

Special Session
Know What’s Going on With Your Voting Rights!
Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner
Voting rights are under attack nationwide as states pass voter suppression laws, including cuts to early voting, voter ID laws and purges of voter rolls, which lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right. So, we invited Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner back to help us identify ways to get rid of these harmful voter suppression measures once and for all.
