Faith Meets Fearlessness at Abiding Word’s BXE Brave Women’s Conference

Season 2, Episode 70

In this episode of Along the Rock, host Kaitlyn Blum talks with Terri Porter, Co-Pastor of Abiding Word Church, about the upcoming Beautiful Exchange Women’s Conference 2025.

This year’s theme is Brave: Being Courageous in a World of Chaos, and it features keynote speaker Alicia Hankins Moran, a powerful voice with a personal story of resilience, faith, and fearlessness.

Terri shares how the conference is more than an event—it’s a space for women to connect, grow, and support one another in meaningful ways. With six breakout sessions, community-led speakers, and a mission to give back through Grandma Bonnie’s School Supply Closet, BXE is designed to make a lasting impact.

💬 “You're not having your kids, and you can just focus on making a connection that could be life-changing for you.” – Terri Porter

🎧 Listen now to discover how faith, friendship, and bravery are coming together at BXE 2025.
