Keynote Message #4 – “Bold Faith in the Workplace”
– Lauren Sisler ESPN Sports Broadcaster | Author of Shatterproof | Motivational Speaker
- “Falling isn’t failing unless you refuse to get up” – Redefining success through God’s
lens
- “We are not reduced to our hardest chapter” – Shame is not the end of your story
- “Be where your feet are” – The power of presence in a distracted world
- “It’s not about preserving a legacy, it’s about building one” – Living with eternal purpose and walking boldly in your calling, without fear
- “Fall in Love With Your Story” – Turning pain into purpose
BECOMING SHATTERPROOF:
You are shatterproof—not because life didn’t break you, but
because God put the pieces back together. Your story is not a weight—it’s a weapon. Let it
speak. Let it serve. Let it shine. Your impact isn’t found in perfection—it’s found in
presence.
Building a life of resilience, purpose, and joy, where no obstacle has the power to break you.
BE WHERE YOUR FEET ARE
“Stop chasing what’s next, and start showing up for what’s now. PURPOSE LIVES IN THE PRESENT.”
Personal Reflection Questions:
- Where is God asking you to show up more boldly in your life or career? What part of your story have you been hiding that God wants to use?
- Are you trying to preserve an image, or build a legacy?
- Who’s standing in the gap for you and who might need you to do the same?
- What would it look like to be where your feet are today?
Personal Reflection Time
Note: Instead of meeting in small groups, this time is set aside for personal reflection on the whole conference experience, with the hope that attendees can listen to what God might be calling them to or revealing to them.
Spend time reflecting upon a few of the questions below.
- Praise Jesus for what He did on the cross. Praise Him for this day. Thank Him for your life. Thank Him for what He’s teaching you. Thank Him for _______.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to open your ears to His voice. Open your eyes to see Him. Open your heart to love Him. Open your mind to know Him. What did He teach you throughout the conference?
- How did God reveal Himself to you throughout the conference?
- What is He asking you to do with what you’ve learned?
- Who is He asking you to partner with in the local church community this season?
- How can you structure your day to prioritize spending time with God?
- What’s one act of boldness that the Lord is asking you to live out upon returning home?
- Bring your requests before God. Lay your cares and uncertainties at His feet. Allow Him to bring comfort to you! Ask Him to bring a scripture to mind that He wants you to meditate/think on…
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you craft a prayer to the Lord….Write it out!
This is how the Lord taught His disciples to pray:
Matthew 6:9-13
In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen

1. “I’m not in full-time ministry.”
False Belief: Only pastors, missionaries, or church leaders are called to build God’s Kingdom.
2. “My work is secular, not spiritual.”
False Belief: Only church work matters to God.
3. “I’m not qualified.”
False Belief: I don’t know enough Bible or have enough spiritual maturity to make a difference.
” Burn the Boats”
“But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”
Acts 9:15-16 NIV
⸻
“But the Lord said to Ananias, ‘Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name…’” (Acts 9:15)
1. Instruments aren’t praised—they’re played.
True impact isn’t found in applause but in obedience.
2. Instruments don’t complain—they’re tuned.
Before you’re sent, you’re shaped. God fine-tunes those He chooses.
3. Instruments don’t play for themselves—they play for others.
Your calling isn’t just for profit—it’s for people.
For Such A Time As This
Joseph & Esther
Joseph // Genesis (The Miracle At Jordan Hare)
Genesis 50:19But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
I am in the place of God.
You are God’s person, in God’s place, at God’s time, for God’s purpose.
Embracing this reality—
- Elevates your approach to what you do.
Colossians 3:23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Character, Consistency, Care, Craft.
2. Allows you to transition from “work” to “calling.”
3. Awakens you to be sensitive to kingdom moments.
Esther 4:“Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
This is the moment to be bold. No loud, annoying, weird. But confidently bold.
4. Frees you from the trap of comparison and attention.

Christ commanded us to love one another even as . For us to know how to love each other we must understand the character of the rich deep love that Jesus Christ that Paul describes in Ephesians 3 as surpassing knowledge.

A. 1 John 4:10 “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the .”
B. Ephesians 2:4-7 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”
C. What escapes definition is that even when we reject Him, we disobey Him, we sin against Him, . We call it ‘’, unmerited love from God to His rebellious creation.
D. God’s unmerited love is given to us, people who don’t deserve His love to transform and change us into new creations.
E. We are such undeserving beneficiaries of God’s . He reached down to us in our absolute total depravity and lifted us to Himself pouring out His grace to us.

II. His love is unlimited
A. He, who loved us forgave us, doing so without limit.

2. Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.’ And they divided His garments and cast lots.

This is no less true about parenting.

This is also why people without children are still responsible for parenting and why the natural and spiritual unit, as prescribed by Scripture, is vital.
The essential necessary to thrive in life natural and spiritually are given to us by our natural and spiritual parents.
This is why we’ve been emphatically addressing patterns of human behavior that exceed the scope of God’s boundaries for activity.
God created these holy to preserve human flourishing and to extend his to his offspring.
