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
Freshly Brewed Life
Does life seem stale and your cup is empty? Have you lost your enthusiasm for the Lord? You need to Perk Up! Don't live another day without being steeped in God's love. Take time to savor a refreshing cup of God's grace.
"I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance" ~John 10:10
Who I Am in Christ, Love in a Mirror
The majority of women today struggle with negative perceptions of who they are. By God's grace, we can have victory over this bondage by knowing who we 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 God has for us.
"you shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free" ~John 8:32
Growing and Gutsy for God
Do you feel like you're spinning your wheels, going nowhere? You don't have to live life just trying to survive. God has so much more for you. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime, knowing Jesus! Live in sync with the plans on His heart for you!
"I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
Strengthening Friendships
Jealousy, judging and gossip rob women of the blessing of friendship. God's word has so much to teach us about how our friendships can deepen to a richness we may have not realized possible! Loving others the way Jesus loves does not divide, it unites!
"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you" ~John 15:12
Singly Devoted
God's highest calling is to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. As single women, we have the awesome privilege of serving God with undivided hearts. Don't let the thieves of discontentment and loneliness rob you from experiencing the incredible joy of living for Jesus!
"I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me" ~Philippians 3:12
