Author, Speaker & Blogger Jessica Harris will be in Ottawa for one day as she speaks on “Shaking the Ladder” a look at how we have framed Women’s Ministry around a ladder from the “Proverbs 5 women” to the “Proverbs 31 wife”.
Jessica will be addressing not just some of the ways that the Church can reframe these discussions, but sharing God’s story of grace in her own life.
“…one of the most dynamic and engaging female Christian speakers today. Jessica Harris has a passion and calling for talking about some of the hard issues women of faith face such as purity, living single and women addicted to porn.
Jessica’s passion and experience are evident when she speaks to audiences of all ages and genders. Pulling from her own personal struggle with these same issues she is both captivating and inspiring. Whether you’re planning a youth event, ladies retreat, recovery meeting, or a leadership conference, her message of hope and the redeeming power of God’s love is one we all need to hear!
Jessica openly shares her journey from addiction to redemption and how God can make something beautiful out of extreme darkness. In a culture where sexting, pornography, and immorality are trending, she has a relevant message of freedom and grace and a powerful message of encouragement.

DESCRIPTION
Child-slavery, poverty, human-trafficking, domestic violence, abortion & spiritual apathy. All of these societal ills can trace their cause back to the plague of pornography in society. We’ll discuss practical ways to fight back, and how a porn-free society would change the whole world.
TIME: 5pm

LOCATION: Room 16, Level 2 – Vancouver Convention Centre/Pan Pacific Hotel
THIS WORKSHOP IS PART OF “BE READY-CALGARY” ADMISSION FOR THE FULL CONFERENCE IS REQUIRED.
Although porn is starting to be talked about more freely in Christian circles, a lot of porn’s victims are still abandoned. Porn is not just a guy problem- many girls and women use it too. Christian women who are addicted to porn are often drowning in secret shame, a secret addiction, and a belief that they are the only ones with this secret problem. Colette was one such woman. She shares her story of addiction, shame and recovery in order to help women find freedom. Many Christians are unaware that women struggle with porn and do not know how to help. If it is our aim to equip Christians to share the Gospel, we need to understand not only how to talk about this issue which is affecting so many Christian women – we need to learn how to address this topic with the world around us, a society that is often sex-obsessed.
