A Christ-centered conference exploring the heart, healing, prayer, and spiritual freedom.

[09/26/2026] • [9am-2pm] • [Parlor Room- Belle Isle Community Church]

Three Speakers

Life experiences can shape the way we think, feel, relate, and respond—sometimes in ways we don’t fully understand. Awaken is an invitation to better understand what may be keeping you stuck, discover how God meets you in your story, and explore practical pathways toward greater hope, healing, and freedom.

Three Pathways

UNDERSTAND

Counseling & the Heart

Discover how our experiences can affect our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and responses—and how greater understanding can help us move toward emotional health and growth.

HEAL

Inner Healing & Prayer

Explore how God meets us in wounded places and how prayer can create space to recognize His presence, hear His voice, and experience healing.

WALK IN FREEDOM

Deliverance & Spiritual Freedom

Learn about spiritual freedom from a biblical perspective and consider how deliverance can be part of a Christ-centered journey toward greater wholeness.
