Report Back: Rooted in Truth Conference


Amy Spreeman and I recently had the joy of speaking at the Rooted in Truth women’s conference in Fort Myers, Florida, sponsored by Babcock Women of Faith & Fellowship. We had a wonderful time of fellowship with the ladies of Fort Myers and the surrounding area.

We are talking about this event a little more on today’s episode of A Word Fitly Spoken called Why We STILL Won’t Stay Silent. Listen in!

Many thanks to Crossroads Baptist Church in Fort Myers for hosting the conference.

Kudos to Jamie, Melissa, and the other ladies of Babcock Women of Faith & Fellowship for organizing such a wonderful event in such a short amount of time! Although it can be nice to plan at a leisurely pace and publicize an event many months in advance, these amazing ladies serve as a helpful example that a simple, yet lovely event can be well planned, and executed with polish, in a much shorter amount of time (about 2 1/2 months from contact to event date!), even by a small group of organizers!

(If you’re ready to host an event – even this summer or fall – there’s plenty of time to plan and organize, and I’ve got lots of tips and helpful hints to make things even easier. I’m ready! Let’s make it happen!)



Friday evening, the doors opened to warm greetings from the ladies at the registration table, cozy pre-conference fellowship, and delicious refreshments!

We got things kicked off for the first evening of the conference with a tandem teaching session: Foundations of Discernment, which dealt with building a solid foundation of prayer, study of the Word, and faithfulness to the local church as the basis of discernment. And we finished up with a brief time of Q&A.

On Saturday, Amy got the ball rolling with Discerning 7 Lies Christians Believe. She helpfully explained a number of false doctrines infiltrating the church today, including the New Apostolic Reformation, Progressivism, Yoga, and more!

Amy also put together all of the slides for our media presentations, complete with QR codes for the ladies to scan from the audience with their phones that would take them to some of our podcast episodes and resources. I don’t know about such magical wizardry, but she did a wonderful job!

After a delightful brunch of chicken salad and egg salad croissants and other goodies (which was all so delicious I forgot to take pictures!), the ladies reassembled for my teaching session, Discernment 101: Learn to Discern. This session covers some practical aspects of how to determine whether or not someone is a false teacher, who some of today’s most prolific false teachers are, and popular forms of false doctrine in the church.

We finished out the day with another brief Q&A session filled with challenging and smart questions from the lovely ladies in attendance.

It was such a fantastic weekend with even more fantastic ladies! Thanks so much to Jamie, Melissa, and all the ladies of Babcock Women of Faith & Fellowship for making Amy and me feel right at home and working so hard to host an awesome conference. And thanks again to Crossroads Baptist Church for providing the venue.
