OHCW Women's Conference

OHCW23 Women’s Conference ~ Day 1

Who’s excited for Open Hearts in a Closed World? I am!

If you’re not familiar with OHCW, it’s a FREE annual online women’s conference. It has been my privilege to be one of the speakers each year since its inception.

Join us for OHCW23 – a FREE online women’s conference all this week, July 10-14. Watch and get all the details here!

All of the conference details are below. Here’s today’s teaching session (Remember, teaching session videos will not be available until 8:30 a.m. Central each day, but will remain available indefinitely.):

Here’s today’s lyric sheet.

Some (not all) of this week’s teaching sessions have
accompanying handouts (all handout links here).
Here are the handouts for today’s sessions:

Session 1 Handout
Session 2 Handout


The theme of this year’s conference is Growing in Godliness in a Godless Generation, so each of our speakers will center their teaching around ways to grow to godly maturity in Christ. The theme verse is 2 Peter 3:18:

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory,
both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Where and When to Watch:

The conference will run each day this week, July 10-14, Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Central time), and “attending” is as easy as watching your favorite TV show! There’s no cost, no registration – just tune in starting at 8:30 (Central) each morning. You can even watch the recordings later, if that’s more convenient, as the videos of each session will remain posted.

I’ll post the YouTube version of each day’s teaching session so you can watch it here on the blog if you like. Or, if you prefer, you can watch directly on…

YouTube, AGTV, or Exposit the Word.

Daily Schedule:

This year’s worship music is provided by Hymns of Grace. Philip Webb and Hymnology will be leading us in worship each day.

Got a Hymns of Grace hymnal? You’re all set to sing along. If not, you can find the links for Monday – Friday’s lyric sheets here. Or, simply click the link I’ll provide each day under the teaching video.

Here’s the teaching schedule for each day of the conference:

  2. I really enjoyed Susan Heck’s conference section on the 7 sins of women. I was surprised that submission to the husband as the leader of the home wasn’t on there though, maybe too controversial in this woman dominated world, but it is a biblical command. I think women also struggle with vanity (conforming to the patterns of this world), selfishness, and pride issues. Thanks Susan for getting me thinking about these things and examining my own life, something we don’t do enough.

    1. Hi Mary- I’m so glad you enjoyed Susan’s session. Susan is not shy about addressing the topic of submission. She explains the reason she didn’t include marital issues on the list of sins starting at 2:02:25 on the video. Additionally, I believe her thinking is that these seven sins pertain to all women, not just married women.
