Saturday, February 21, 2026 | The Goodman at Village Towers | Houston, TX
A conference dedicated to equipping women to transform their communities for Christ.
Discerning Truth, Living Boldly, Building Lifelong Friendships
At EquipHer Teens, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers, participate in hands-on workshops designed to teach you how to be a change-maker, and engage in authentic conversations during a live podcast.

Faithful in Little Today, Fruitful in Much Tomorrow
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much.”
— Luke 16:10
This year, we’re diving into the theme: Healthy Habits: Everyday Rhythms for Real Transformation. Life can feel overwhelming—between school, sports, friendships, and constant pressures from culture, it’s easy to run on empty. But what if the choices you make every day—small habits, little rhythms—could actually shape who you become and the impact you have on others? Together, we’ll discover how God can transform our routines into rhythms that bring peace, confidence, and strength, equipping you to live with purpose and shine your faith in a world that desperately needs it.
Find Your Tribe.
This conference brings together young women from various churches, offering a unique opportunity to connect with others who share your faith while building lasting friendships and finding a supportive community.

Keynote 1: The Heart Behind the Habits
Speaker: Kori de Leon
Every habit you build is like a brick in the foundation of your future. The small choices you make each day—how you spend your time, what you give your attention to, and the priorities you set—are shaping the kind of person you’re becoming. Habits aren’t about trying harder or checking boxes; they’re about creating space to grow into the person God designed you to be and equipping you to reach the goals He’s placed in your heart.
In this keynote, we’ll slow down and focus on the why behind your habits—the heart that drives what you do. Instead of running on pressure and perfectionism, you’ll be invited to see your rhythms as a way to live free, steady, and purposeful. This message will help you discover that the transformation you long for doesn’t start with chasing routines; it starts with a heart surrendered to God and rhythms that flow from His love.
Keynote 2: Everyday Rhythms That Stick
Speaker: Coming Soon
If the first keynote helps you understand the why, this one gives you the how. Big change rarely happens in one huge leap—it’s built one small, intentional choice at a time. In this session, you’ll learn simple tips and tools for developing habits in your body, mind, and spirit that actually work in real life.
We’ll talk about how to set yourself up for success, make habits easier to stick with, and create rhythms that fit who you are and the season you’re in. Whether it’s managing your time, caring for your mental health, or making space for God, you’ll walk away with practical strategies you can use right away. This keynote will equip you with the confidence to build rhythms that last and help you become the person God is calling you to be.

At EquipHer Teens, you’ll get to choose one workshop to attend when you register:
Rooted: Building Habits That Grow Your Relationship with God
Life can feel loud—full of pressure, distractions, and questions about who you are and what really matters. What if faith wasn’t something you just tried harder at, but something that actually helped you feel grounded and close to God? In this session, you’ll learn simple, everyday habits that help you connect with Him, find peace that lasts, and build a faith strong enough to hold up in real life.
Finding Your I AM in Prayer
Have you ever noticed how your prayers reveal what you believe about yourself and about God? In this session, you’ll discover how prayer helps you find the great I AM—and understand who He says you are in Him. When your prayers flow from the truth of who He is and who He’s made you to be, they become filled with peace, confidence, and power.
Rhythms of Fellowship: Finding Your People & Flourishing Together
Everyone wants real friends—the kind who see you, support you, and help you grow. In this session, you’ll discover how authentic friendships can shape who you become and how faith changes the way we show up for each other. You’ll leave with practical tools to build strong, healthy friendships and create rhythms of connection that help you and your friends flourish—no matter where you are in your faith journey.
Steady in the Storm: Building Habits for Emotional Health
Life can feel like a storm—school stress, friend drama, family expectations, and thoughts that won’t slow down. In this session, you’ll learn simple, everyday rhythms that help you calm your mind and guard your heart through God’s truth. You’ll leave with biblical tools to find peace in Christ when emotions feel overwhelming.

Live Podcast at E26: Healthy Habits for Community
Your people shape you—whether it’s friends, teammates, or group chats, the communities you’re part of leave a mark on your life. But how do you build friendships that actually lift you instead of draining you? And what habits help you find belonging without losing yourself?
In this live podcast recording, we’ll talk honestly about the power of community and how the rhythms you set—like showing up, listening well, and choosing the right influences—can change everything. You’ll hear real stories, ask real questions, and walk away knowing that a healthy community isn’t just possible, it’s what you were made for.
