The Yadah Collective presents
EDEN Conference
Faith, Work, and the Women Navigating Both
October 24, 2026
The Foundry
11:00 AM - 3:30 PM
About the event
Honest conversations on faith, work, and everything in between.
Most of us spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else. Yet, we almost never talk about what God has to do with it.
If you're a woman who loves God and cares about her work, and has never quite known how to hold both at once, this event is for you.
EDEN is built around the questions we are actually asking:
- What does it mean to steward the work you have been given?
- Can God really guide you in your job?
- What happens when ambition and caring for the people you love pull in opposite directions?
- Is rest possible in a season that does not feel like it allows for it?
We'll have women in the thick of their own forms of vocation, talking openly about what they have learned and what they are still figuring out — with you in the room!

Event schedule
Live conversations shaped around the questions women are carrying.
Opening Address From Eden to the New Jerusalem
This address will frame God's original design for work and invite us to see our vocations in light of the Gospel.
Panel 1 The 3 W's: Work, Worth, Worship
The first time work is mentioned in Genesis, it is connected to the root word for worship, abad. This panel explores what it means to steward our gifts faithfully, root our identity in God, and see ourselves beyond what we produce.
Panel 2 Do I Really Have to Choose?
A candid conversation on navigating work and motherhood, including ambition, caregiving, limits, guilt, provision, and the grace needed for complex seasons.
