This aspect of Follow Hard Ministries uses song, God's word, and testimony to encourage and strengthen women in their personal walks with Jesus Christ. Lynn and Becky work with churches to create a retreat format that includes worship, teaching, small group sharing, and time for personal reflection.
"Lynn & Becky are authentic and transparent - truly themselves in front of their audience. Their audience is able to warm up to them and listen and glean. I've been to so many women's retreats. The material and topics of Lynn & Becky's retreats are on my "top 3" list. Their layout/presentation/format is #1 of all the retreats I've attended in my life. They gave me time to sit at the Lord's feet and time for application periodically. I usually come away from retreats with information overload, but after their retreats I come away with "heart overload" - love for God and my fire is re-ignited."
Topics we offer:
EnJOYing God's Presence
In the midst of job related commitments, busy schedules and family responsibilities, God calls us to be still, to delight in Him, to draw near to Him, to listen to His voice. Take time to pause and retreat from your daily pressures and rekindle your love relationship with Jesus Christ.
"in His presence is fullness of joy" ~Psalm 16:11
Identity Restored
The majority of women today struggle with identity theft - negative and false perceptions of who they are. By God's grace, we can have victory over this bondage by knowing who we really are in Christ. Understanding God's Truth about ourselves can free us from the chains of our past and help us live joyfully, embracing all that He has for us.
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." --John 8:32
Freshly Brewed
Has the daily grind of routine left you feeling stale and lifeless? Have you lost your enthusiasm for the Lord? Or do you feel like you are being finely ground and are drinking from a bottomless cup of sorrow? It's time to wake up and smell the coffee! Don't just exist. Take time to savor a refreshing cup of God's grace. Live life to the fullest – in sync with God's purposes.
"I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance" ~John 10:10
Heart to Heart
True friendship reflects God's heart. As we press our hearts next to His, God reveals a love that is selfless, sacrificial, and forever committed. Yet, in a world that promotes fast foods and quick fixes, it's easy to become accustomed to convenience relationships. Jealousy, judging, pride and gossip often rob women of experiencing the joy and blessing of godly friendship. God's Word encourages us that our friendships can mirror the splendor of His love! Loving others the way Jesus loves does not divide, it unites!
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." --John 13:34
