KEYNOTE – 2 Timothy 1:1 – 2:2

Our Lord Jesus, The Christ called all of His followers to both be disciples and to make disciples. This is the great work of the individual believer in relation with the Holy Spirit and other believers. Scripture gives us wonderful examples of both. 2 Timothy 1 describes many different types of disciples and disciple-making relationships. As we walk through this passage, we will be challenged to examine our own lives and relationships in light of the admonitions to “not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, ” to “guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you – guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit,” and to entrust it to others.

Keynote Speakers

Mary Ann Odom

Mary Ann has been married 50 years this July to her closest friend, Clyde. They have two adult children as well as two adult grandchildren. Mary Ann (“Ann” as family calls her) earned a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2014, and was subsequently licensed by the state of NC. She is passionate about teaching and writing, and the Lord has graciously blessed her with opportunities to do both over the years. Clyde and Mary Ann have been members of BBC since 2021 and are presently enjoying retirement. Her prayerful desire for all believers in these times is expressed in Romans 15:13, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” NASB

Rachel Lesley

Rachel is a math educator by day and a referee of a beautifully chaotic blended family by night. She has been married to Will a full-time Army officer for 7 years, which means she can teach teens to solve for X while also handling deployments, sports schedules, and lost socks like a pro. Survivor of custody battles, IVF, and teaching unwilling teenagers math. A faithful member of Berean Baptist for many years and serving in any capacity God throws her way, she is fueled by faith, coffee, and the occasional deep theological debate with her teenagers. Whether inside or outside of the classroom Rachel just wants people to experience the awesome power of the gospel and how much Jesus loves them. Jesus loves me—this she knows—but she also suspects He finds her life highly entertaining. Her favorite passage if she had to choose would be Matthew 25:40 “‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”

Megan Odom

Megan and her husband Paul have been married for sixteen years and have six children. They have been blessed with the unique opportunity to homeschool their own children while also teaching Jr. High and High School students at BBA. Both opportunities allow for a Deuteronomy 6 approach to discipleship in which the desire is that the Word of God can penetrate into every area of life in hopes that true belief will cause that Word to be written on hearts. Megan is thankful for the sanctification and growth that comes from serving Christ in this capacity. Megan is most grateful for the “iron-sharpens-iron” relationships formed by doing life with other moms and families as they walk together through the calms and storms of life that mold and refine us to be more like Christ.

Morning Chats

Older Women Discipling Younger Women

(Jan Scott & Savera Miller)

Titus 2 discipleship is not an outdated bible reference; but rather is essential to women mentoring and discipling. Now more than ever, older women are called to step in; not with criticisms and judgments, but leading with wisdom, love, and biblical truth. Given today’s fast-paced and ever-changing culture, young women face challenges that can make them question their faith, their identity in Christ, and purpose in Christ. Though the culture they grew up in may be different, older women have experienced many of the same challenges. God intends for their stories of perseverance and endurance to be an encouragement to the next generation. Join us as we discuss the beauty and benefits of the older/younger discipling experience as both women continue their journey, growing in Christlikeness

Obstacles to Disciple Making

(with Lovina Goad)

What’s getting in our way? Fear? Doubt? The constant demands of daily life? The pressure to have all the answers? If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know where to start!” in making disciples, this discussion is for you! Join us for an open and heartfelt conversation on the challenges we face in fulfilling Christ’s call to make disciples. We’ll identify and discuss common obstacles and uncover practical solutions from God’s Word to overcome these barriers and faithfully invest in others.

Habits of a Faithful Disciple

(with Leah Dalsis)

What are the habits of a faithful disciple? What does that even look like today? What habits can we have in the midst of everyday craziness and quiet times? Let’s chat together about 2 Timothy 1: 6-14 and discuss what habits Paul encouraged Timothy to have.

Discipling Your Children

(Heidi Wallace & Kelly Coaty)

Regardless of where you are in your parenting journey, we are called to be disciple makers of our children. Come to an interactive discussion of how to disciple your children in the hopes that they will become followers of Christ. This talk will be filled with practical advice from two moms willing to share their experiences from their own journeys as they live out the Deuteronomy 6:6-7 command to teach their children diligently about loving the Lord with all their heart, soul, and might.

Fireside Chats

What is Disciple Making/ What is a Disciple

(with Pam Recod)

What does it mean to be called a disciple who makes disciples and why does it matter in the life of the church? In this chat we will discuss a definition of “disciple” from Scripture, with the ultimate goal of examining a disciple making relationships.

All the (Adult) Single Ladies

(with Adele Davis)

PARTICIPANTS MUST BE ADULT SINGLE LADIES

We have been commissioned to go into the world and make disciples as individuals. This can be a very challenging and nuanced process. In this chat we’ll cover what being a single woman, maybe even single mother, looks like as we navigate this command. We will talk about making disciples and being made a disciple as a single woman and how that is different than our married friends and family. How this makes things easier and/or more challenging. We will discuss how we can best use this time in our lives as a way to honor God and work towards our purpose.

Marital Intimacy

(with Michelle Baughan)

PARTICIPANTS MUST BE MARRIED

The marital covenant offers the Godly framework for oneness. God designed the husband and wife specifically for this, but it isn’t only to bear children. Come join this casual yet lively discussion about all issues concerning intimacy. What is said around the firepit stays around the firepit! This is a retreat favorite – not to be missed!
