Topic: Living abundantly!
We all long for a life of purpose, intention, and joy. We also long to see the results of our actions, glimpses of the difference we make in the world. In the middle of our everyday routines from pt to office work, doing laundry to preparing meals, we can get caught up in simply getting by – with abundant life seeming an impossible idea. In John 10:10, Jesus tells us he came to give us life and life to the full, or “in abundance.” This abundant life isn’t for sometimes or only in certain circumstances, it’s in the everyday routines and ongoing commitments. Together, we’ll dig into how we live this abundant life, while building relationships that encourage us in the journey.

What others are saying about Leading Women Retreats:
“In my job, I’m often the only Christian and/or the only woman in the room. When I’m with other women, more often than not, they either don’t share my faith and/or understand my professional calling. And when I’m at church, although we are unified in Christ and that far surpasses any other difference, my schedule/lifestyle simply doesn’t always align with others in a manner that can unfortunately inhibit deeper relationships. At events like Leading Women, I don’t have to translate. Every woman present innately understands the things I struggle to explain elsewhere, and every woman present can navigate the joys, comedies, and difficulties of this life together.”
