Change, It's an Adventure of a Lifetime! 

“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Change is frightening and not many of us handle it well. Change is about loss and even positive transformations involve losses to be grieved. How we react to it is the first step in living our lives fully. With an ability to laugh at herself and use her life as an example, Gabrielle shares practical tools for going through the change process which will help you accept it and have hope for the future. 

Fear and change go hand-in-hand. The fears that hold us back are rarely the adrenaline pumping fears that occur when faced with danger. Instead they are figments of our imagination put there to prevent us from progressing through life; from being who we are meant to be. You have the choice to live in fear or see it as an opportunity that will ultimately move you forward.     

When change and fear are exposed for what they really are—growth opportunities from God—you will gain a new perspective on life and will choose life over fear.  

Audience members will learn: 

• The stages of the change cycle

• How fears play into the change cycle

• To surrender to God’s plan

Statement of Faith

• I believe the Old and New Testaments of the Bible have been given to us by God. The scriptures are infallible, and give us the authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

• I believe in the one true God who has revealed himself as being Creator and Redeemer of humankind. I believe in the Trinity — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• I believe Jesus is the eternal Son of God, as revealed in the Scripture, by His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead and His position at the right hand of God.

• I believe that our only hope of redemption is through Jesus, son of God. Salvation is received by the grace of God, through repentance and faith in Him, not by works.

• I believe in the one universal Church. All who repent of their sins and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and form the living Body of Christ, of which He is the head and we are all members.

• I believe that Jesus will come again to the earth - personally, visibly and bodily - to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

• I believe that every member of God’s family is called to evangelize the world, worship God and encourage believers to grow in the likeness of Christ.
