Cultivated Faith Plan

How many times do you leave an event feeling inspired but unsure what to do next? That’s why we’re doing something different at the Stay Rooted Retreat.

Throughout the day, you’ll create your own Cultivated Faith Plan, a simple, personal way to carry what God is doing in your heart into everyday life.

After each session, you’ll reflect, apply what you’ve learned, and commit to small, meaningful steps toward lasting spiritual growth.

By the end of the day, you’ll have a personalized roadmap to help you stay rooted, grow stronger, and flourish in your faith.

WRAP Yourself in the Word

During the Stay Rooted Retreat, I’m excited to share a practice that completely changed my experience in God’s Word and how I feel His presence in my life. WRAP Yourself in the Word served as a lifeline during tough times, helping to shape my thoughts, heal my heart, and reignite my joy. God gifted me this practice as He gently led me through each step in a journey to delight in Him.

You'll walk away with a simple yet powerful tool to meditate on God's truth and weave it into your everyday life.

It truly transformed my life, and I believe it can transform yours too!

Real Community

Imagine a wonderful day filled with heartfelt conversations, laughter echoing around, and real, lasting friendships. It’s all about being ourselves, with no pretenses or pressure, just a warm, welcoming community of women uplifting each other to live confidently, rooted in Christ.

Practical Tools

Have you ever left a conference feeling inspired but uncertain about your next steps? By the end of the Stay Rooted Retreat, you’ll walk away with tangible tools right in your hands, including your personalized Cultivated Faith Plan, a practical roadmap designed to help you confidently grow your faith.

Refreshing Break

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, my friend. Just picture taking a moment to breathe and enjoy an entire day dedicated to slowing down, reconnecting, and revitalizing your spirit. Imagine no distractions or pressures, only you, God, and a wonderful group of ladies excited to grow together. You truly deserve this chance to recharge your spirit!

Are you longing for deeper roots, lasting growth, and true spiritual refreshment?

This is your invitation to step away, be renewed, and stay rooted in Christ.
