McCook Christian Church

Radiate exists to encourage women to find peace, purpose and a profound connection.

Daily demands, culture and comparison dull our light.  Radiate exists to encourage women to seek His light, so we can radiate His love to others. We were made to be the salt and the light, to our families, friends, spouses, co workers and community members. The world and culture tends to dull our light and lets us fall into the valleys of busyness, comparison, despair, depression, anxiety, lost identity, and the unending to do list and others constantly needing you.  God has a special purpose just for you. We want you to find HIS light, soak in light and come away renewed and encouraged to be a light to all those around you.

You are seen. You are loved. You are worthy. We were made for community not competition.

Join us at MCC to gather with women of all generations to help uplift, encourage and light a fire in each one of us to love and share Jesus in our everyday lives.

Break Out Descriptions

  • Mother-Daughter Breakout: Jody Dellevoet & Kara Marvin (Requires both mothers and daughters to be registered.) // A special breakout for mothers and daughters to spend time together making bracelets and reflecting on the joy of the Lord through scripture and quality time. Must register with mother/daughter who is also attending the conference.
  • Self Care: Jerrell Alexander // Join this breakout session to learn to find joy in food again. Today’s diet culture and constant stream of information can be overwhelming and instead of finding answers just leads to confusion and unhelpful food rules. If you struggle with dieting, overeating, or feel like there is never an answer to controlling food this session is for you. Instead of feeling controlled or always trying to restrict let’s discover the joy in food again.
  • Miscarriage & Infertility: Anna Powell &  Ayla Smith // A breakout for women who are currently walking through a season of waiting, miscarriages, or infertility. This breakout will focus on scripture, prayer, support, and how Anna and Ayla found joy while walking through those hard seasons.
  • Prayer Room // This breakout is an open space for prayer and reflection. 
  • Joy in Dating: Sarah Hardin //
  • Discerning the Voice of God: Sheina Raegan, Alexis Windecker, & Cricket Raegan // This breakout focuses on how to discern the voice of God, scripture, and how to practice discernment as well as avenues to better discern His voice.
  • Finding Joy in the Struggle: Jessica Meyer // Our lives are full of peaks and valleys and everything in between. God is in the midst of all of it. Sometimes we feel He is very near and other times He can feel far away. In this session, we will see how God is faithful and near all the time in the peaks and valleys of our lives.
  • Finding Joy in the Word: Debbie Field // Reading the Bible can feel overwhelming and at times, like a box we're supposed to check off. During this breakout, Debbie will talk about what it's like to find joy in the word while deepening your understanding of bible study.
  • Finding Joy in Marriage: Cherri Putz // This breakout focuses on marital oneness by exploring the messy, hard, and beautiful gift of sexual intimacy. *Hint* It involves much more than your body.
