WORKSHOP SESSION I (Friday, 8:30am - 9:30am)
Women's Morning Worship and Workout
Peggy Ployhar (Hope Baptist Church, 176 Western Ave., Manchester)
“Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.”
Psalm 149:3
Peggy Ployhar, SPED Homeschool Founder & CEO, finds that her morning workout time has been a catalyst in improving her connection with God as she uses movement and music to worship the Lord. In this session, Peggy will use a playlist of worship music to lead the group through a warm-up routine, light conditioning exercises, and stretching that can be modified to any ability. This session is a great way to start your day, with a focus on Jesus and movement to awaken your soul.
WORKSHOP SESSION II (Friday 10:15am - 11:15am)
Using Scripture and Meditation to Calm the Nervous System
Peggy Ployhar (Hope Baptist Church, 176 Western Ave., Manchester)
Even though God reminds us it is counter kingdom culture to live in a nervous and stressed-out state, many of us have unknowingly trained our bodies to operate in this mode. Thus, flipping the switch to enter a peaceful time of scripture meditation is not as simple as picking up a bible and forcing ourselves to meditate on scripture. Instead, it requires a focused effort and understanding of how to flip off the “high-alert” switch in the nervous system so it is possible to enter the promised rest God says He has ready and waiting for anyone who wants it. In this short talk, Peggy, a recent cancer survivor, will share nervous system calming scripture meditation strategies based on biblical principles and medical research that reveal how God designed our bodies, minds, and souls to most effectively enter His rest no matter what.
WORKSHOP SESSION III (Friday, 11:30am - 12:30pm)
The Basics of Fasting for a Healthier Body, Mind and Soul
Peggy Ployhar (Hope Baptist Church, 176 Western Ave., Manchester)
You may have heard that fasting can improve your spiritual life, mental clarity, and a variety of health issues, but the whole idea of fasting to tap into these benefits can seem daunting and confusing. Well, help is here. Peggy Ployhar, SPED Homeschool Founder & CEO, started fasting in 2020 when her functional doctor informed her it was a necessary part of her natural cancer healing regime. 2+ years now in remission, Peggy has found that fasting has benefited her holistically after moving from just a health-based approach to a biblically centered approach to diet and healthy living. You will walk away from this talk with helpful information on how to successfully start fasting, understand how God created our bodies for fasting, and what you can do to personalize your fasting plan to maintain your health – body, mind and soul.
