We believe God created us for relationship—with Him and with one another. We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. And we believe some of the most meaningful moments in our faith happen when we have women around us who encourage us, challenge us, pray for us, and walk alongside us through whatever season we’re in.
That’s why we’re so excited about this year’s Unshaken Conference focus: discipleship.
We’re women in different seasons of life, with different stories and different experiences, but we’re all asking the same question in one way or another: What is my next step with Jesus?
Maybe your next step is getting to know Jesus for the first time. Maybe it’s learning what it really looks like to follow Him in your everyday life. Maybe God is inviting you to surrender something, trust Him in a new way, or allow Him to change an area of your life. Maybe your next step is realizing that following Jesus isn’t just about what He wants to do in you, but what He wants to do through you. Or maybe it’s taking the step of walking alongside someone else and helping her follow Jesus, too.
Wherever you are in your faith journey, there’s always a next step. And that’s what we hope Unshaken will help you discover.
We’re excited to hear from God through our speakers, Ruby Kedney and Rene Clark, and through the conversations that will happen throughout the weekend. But even more than that, we’re praying for what happens inside each of us as we listen, worship, reflect, and make space for God to speak.
We’re praying for...
- Women who are ready for breakthrough.
- Women who are hungry to know Jesus more deeply.
- Women who are ready to let Jesus change them.
- Women who are discovering what it means to live on mission with Jesus.
- And women who are realizing they don’t have to figure any of it out alone.
We’re also praying for the relationships that will happen along the way. Because discipleship was never meant to be a solo journey.
Sometimes following Jesus looks like sitting across the table from another woman and saying, “How are you really doing?” Sometimes it looks like praying together. Sometimes it looks like sharing what God is teaching you. Sometimes it looks like an older woman investing in a younger woman, or a younger woman reminding someone who has walked with Jesus for years to see something from a fresh perspective. Sometimes it simply looks like making room for someone who feels like she doesn’t belong.
That’s the kind of community we’re praying for at Unshaken. Not a room full of women who have it all together. Not a weekend where everything magically changes. But a room full of women who are willing to say, “I want to know Jesus. I want to follow Jesus. I want to be changed by Jesus. And I want my life to be part of the mission of Jesus.”
So wherever you’re coming from, we want you to know: there’s a place for you here.
Whether you’ve been following Jesus for decades, you’re just beginning to explore who He is, or you’re somewhere in between—come.
Come with your sister. Your daughter. Your friend. Your coworker. Your neighbor. Come with the women you already know, and make room to meet some you don’t. Come expecting God to meet you where you are and show you where He wants to take you next.
Because our prayer is that when you leave Unshaken, you won’t just leave encouraged.
You’ll leave with a next step.
- A next step toward Jesus.
- A next step toward becoming more like Jesus.
- A next step toward living on mission with Jesus.
- And maybe even a next step toward another woman who needs someone to walk alongside her, too.
We’re praying that Unshaken 2026 is more than a weekend. We’re praying it’s a catalyst for women who want to know and follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus, and commit to the mission of Jesus—and for a community of women who are willing to walk that journey together.
We can’t wait to see what God does. And we can’t wait to see you at Unshaken.
With love,
