What happens when life doesn’t look the way you imagined?
When the plan changes… and you’re not sure what’s next?
When you know the truth of Scripture — but still wrestle to live from it?
You’re not the only one asking those questions.
This year, Whatever Is True is becoming a boutique-style one-day gathering — a safe space designed for women to slow down, connect, and rediscover what’s still beautifully true.
It’s not a conference. It’s an intimate day of worship, laughter, reflection, and real connection — with women who get it.
Come as you are. Bring your questions, your faith, your story.
Heartland Church (1100 Canadian Pl. Mississauga, ON)
This November, we’re gathering differently. Not for a conference. But for a conversation.
You’ll experience:
• Rich teaching and authentic dialogue on identity, calling, wellness and spiritual renewal
• Guided table conversations that help you connect story to Scripture
• Worship and reflection moments that slow you down to listen for God’s voice
• Curated connection time with leaders, mentors, and peers
• Laughter and fun
• A beautifully designed gift and resources to carry truth into your week
“This isn’t about filling a room — It’s an intimate day of worship, laughter, reflection, and real connection — with women who get it.
Featuring:
Worship
We are beyond blessed to have the talented and amazing Terri Espiritu leading us in worship at Whatever Is True! Her heartfelt music and passion for glorifying God will create a powerful atmosphere as we come together in worship.

For women who desire to lead from truth, you are invited to our brilliant, interactive Rise Women Leadership Tour Night on November 14, at Toronto City Church, hosted by Pastor Sharon Witton, Cathie Ostapchuk of Gather Women, and Keely Morley of Rise Women UK with special guest Natalie Runion.
This specially tailored event has been designed to equip, resource and empower female leaders (and emerging female leaders) to develop and grow in truth. As leaders, we need to be lifelong learners and we have much to glean from one another. This evening's session will inspire, provoke thought and equip you!
NATALIE RUNION, RAISED TO STAY, IS SPEAKING
We are privileged to partner with the incredible Natalie Runion. Natalie has taken the social media world by storm with her insightful, prophetic posts that champion the church while calling us to authentic, godly living. She is a pastor’s kid turned Pastor who lives in Kentucky with her husband, Tony, and their daughters. She has been involved in church life from birth and knows the struggles, the strains, the joys and the breakthroughs. Natalie wrote her first book, "Raised to Stay," with David C. Cook, which took the Christian world by storm. This first book shared her story of being raised in the church and how she has learned to "stay", holding on to Jesus. Her second release, "The House that Jesus Built," offers practical guidance to us as disciples seeking to navigate deconstruction and discouragement, building on God's Word. Her latest book release, "I don't even like Women," tackles the lies that get in the way of biblical sisterhood. A book for women who struggle with women yet who long for genuine community and connection.
We will also have Q&A sessions, discussion panels, and great worship. Don't miss out! You are welcome alone (we have very friendly leaders waiting to make you feel welcome) or come in a group—buy one group booking ticket, and you pay for 5 paid places to get ONE place FREE. This event is perfect for both experienced and new leaders. Whether you've been leading for a long time or haven't started yet but feel called to leadership, this evening is for you.
We are excited to see you Friday, November 14, at 6:30 pm in Toronto!
