Moreover, the production has grossed over $6 billion in global sales and has been seen by over 70 million people! Now that’s pretty impressive! Just this year, the musical has become the second highest grossing Broadway production, surpassing the iconic Phantom of the Opera. This summer, you get to be part of that number as you catch Wicked light up the Kansas City Music Hall!

A Woman After God’s Own Heart conference, created by gospel music artist Lynda Randle, is a two-day, annual conference event for women of all ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, and upbringings. The vision for the Woman After God’s Own Heart conference (WAGOH for short), was birthed in Lynda’s heart and spirit in 2002 and the Lord allowed it to come to fruition in 2008, with its initial launch taking place in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. Through music, dance, motivational speakers, prayer, and humor, this conference has uplifted women around the country and internationally.

God is calling this conference to be a conference for the churched and unchurched alike; the visibly flawed and broken and those carrying invisible scars alike. A place where women from all walks of life feel welcomed, embraced, and loved by God and one another, and can enjoy Biblical teaching, fellowship, laughter, encouragement, and community.

This year’s theme is:

Press. Push. PERSEVERE!!! and is based on James 1:12, which reminds us that “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
