Even in Uncertainty, His Love Remains
February 9, 2019 | New Song LA | Los Angeles, CA
On February 9, 2019 a group of women gathered in an intimate setting in Los Angeles, California to learn what it means to believe in God’s faithfulness despite challenging or painful circumstances.
This was one of the hardest events we’ve put on yet. From start to finish, it something could have gone wrong, it did!
Our LA conference was set to occur right in the middle of the “snowpocalypse” that was happening in Seattle, Washington (our home base). At one point, we wondered if we were going to be able to fly out to LA at all. Our intern wasn’t as lucky as the rest of our team—her plane never even got off the runway. Since she didn’t fly, our conference slide deck didn’t either.
Did we mention that the venue we were originally going to use canceled on us only two weeks before? It felt like we were almost living out the “Even When” theme of this conference in real life without even putting this conference on!
“If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13
But as we had been learning, God is faithful in ALL things. What happened in that room that Saturday was real, life-transforming, and trajectory shifting.
A woman said “yes “to the Lord for the first time, people were able to shift their perspective over their current situations to see more of God in them, and our times of worship throughout the entire event were POWERFUL.
Kendall Hill, our worship leader, leads from a space of deep deep intimacy and desire to be connected with the Lord and it was so apparent. The group was smaller than a normal Salt event, but it was not any smaller in how God worked in and through it!

The Panel That Moved Everyone
Panels are one of the most uncontrollable elements of a conference. You trust a group of ladies to sit on a stage and share their life experiences and thoughts and pray that they are aligned with the heart of your ministry and belief in God. Over our history of putting on events, some panels have been amazing and others have fallen real flat. But that doesn’t scare us away from continuing to create a space for other voices to be heard!
The Power of Vulnerability
That being said, the panel we had for this conference was UNREAL. We had never before seen such vulnerability and rawness on a stage as women shared about relational hardships around pornography, the struggle of body language, the confusion of following God when there is so much doubt and unknown around religion. The panel conversed like they would in the safety of their living room, but they did so with a whole audience watching. One of our favorite takeaways from this time was a line that was shared by Haesook Won, and she said, “If there is one piece of advice that I could give, it would be to have compassion for yourself.”
We are praying that truth over YOU, whoever is reading this, that you too have compassion on yourself and know that we are all on a path and that arrival cannot be found until we get to meet with Jesus face to face in heaven for all of eternity.
