Dear Daughter of Mine Conference

Karrie will share our opening message focused on our conference theme.

Dr. Karrie Landsverk serves as the lead pastor for Living Gospel Church and Chair for the North Central District Board of the International Ministerial's Association. Karrie has nearly thirty-five years of leadership experience. She is passionate about her faith and helping others discover and grow theirs in Christ Jesus. 

Karrie vividly remembers the day God grabbed hold of her heart as an adult and tears of joy were streaming down her face as she encountered His love for her. In that instant she knew the JOY of the Lord! He has given her great faith in who He is and the promises He has for His children. It is her great passion to show others this same love Christ offers to all who will open their hearts to Him.  Karrie strongly believes we as God’s daughters have all been called to make a powerful impact on the world around us for His glory and our great joy! We are given an eternal identity as beloved daughter to the Most High King. In His presence there is fullness of JOY! 

Julie's message is titled, "Joy in the Midst". 

What does joy look like? Is it possible? And why do I need courage?
Julie will explore these questions, with God’s truth and personal stories that bring to life the
promises we have in Jesus, in our faith journey.

At the age of nineteen, while horseback riding on an unusually warm January day, Julie
prayerfully asked “Lord, is this everything there is to life? Or is there more? Am I missing
something? Please show me.” Discovering the answers transformed her life – forever! Julie’s
thirst to continue to draw nearer to God has fueled her desire to lead women in their journey of
learning God’s word and applying it in everyday life.

Julie is an accomplished entrepreneur and speaker. Julie holds a master’s degree in
Organizational Leadership from the University of Northwestern – St. Paul. Married to her
husband, Guy, for over 40 years, they have four children and six grandchildren. Her dearest
titles are wife, mom, grandma, and friend. Time with her children and grandchildren are
cherished, along with fishing, kayaking, playing tennis and long walks. Crisp fall air, buttery
popcorn with Parmesan and the sound of horse hooves walking through the woods are a few of
her favorite things.

Julie is a published Author and will have her book, "Courageous Joy"  available for purchase at our conference. 

Sarah will lead the youth message titled:

Personality and the Presence of God 

Have you ever set aside time for God, only to leave with the same difficult memories and emotions you began with? If “fullness of joy” is found in God’s presence, why don’t we always experience the transformation Scripture promises?

In this breakout session, we will journey through Psalm 16, exploring how our personalities influence our spiritual journey. Together, we will better understand how to truly enjoy God while pursuing his presence in every aspect of our lives.

Born and raised in Madison, Sarah is a wholehearted follower of Jesus. As the author of The Redeeming Beauty Project, she is passionate about combining theology and photography to teach teen girls about beauty and identity. A few of her favorite things include reading as many books as possible, camping, and playing at the park with her three nephews.
