OHCW Women's Conference

Get Excited! Open Hearts in a Closed World is Next Week!

Michelle Lesley

Who’s excited for Open Hearts in a Closed World next week? 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 OHCW22 – a FREE online women’s conference – *next week,* July 11-15. Get all the details here!

The theme of this year’s conference is Spiritual Sisterhood: Going Beyond the Facade, so each of our speakers will center their teaching around what it means to be godly, genuine sisters in Christ.

OHCW 2022 Speakers:

Find out more about each speaker here.

Where and When to Watch:

The conference will run each day next week, July 11-15, 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 as soon as it goes live (just like I did last year), 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, we’re so pleased to have the TMU Chapel Band from The Master’s University leading us in worship each day.

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

I hope you’ll join us each day next week
for Open Hearts in a Closed World 2022!

And, since it’s Thursday, how about a little “throwback” to last year’s conference sessions to get us pumped up and ready for next week?

OHCW Women’s Conference ~ Day 5

Michelle Lesley

Ladies, welcome to Open Hearts in a Closed World 2021 online conference!

All this week, I’ll be posting each daily conference session here on the blog. You can watch here, or on the AGTV app, YouTube, IGTV (Instagram), or Facebook every day this week, July 12-16, 8:30-11:00 a.m. (CST).

The conference is totally free and you don’t have to register or sign up. Just tune in each day at your convenience and watch the teaching sessions. You could even gather up some friends and watch together! (Send me some pics if you like!)

Many have asked whether or not the sessions will still be available to watch later in the day and after this week. Yes. (As a matter of fact, if you missed last year’s conference, you can still catch all the sessions here.) BUT – once the live broadcast (8:30-11:00 a.m. CST) is over, it will take approximately one hour to process the YouTube version of the video (below) from “live” to “permanent” status, so it will not be available during that time period.

Special exclusive for my followers:

I’ve put together a two page outline for you that goes with my teaching session on Thursday (July 15) in case you’d like to take notes and have all the Scripture references handy. You can grab it here.

Here’s today’s session. (For more info. on the conference, speakers, schedule, etc., keep scrolling.)


Due to processing from “live” to “permanent” status on YouTube, this video will be unavailable between approximately 11a-12p CST.

Watch the remaining sessions of the conference at these links: Day 1 Day 2 Day 3  Day 4

The theme of this year’s conference is Reverence in Radical Times, and our focal passage will be Titus 2:3-5:

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

Titus 2:3-5
