Building a Resilient Life is a powerful reminder that hard seasons don’t have to break us, they can also build us. Through faith, honesty, and practical encouragement, Rebekah Lyons shares how resilience is formed when we keep turning toward God in the middle of life’s challenges. It’s a hope-filled read for anyone needing strength for the season they’re in.

Add this to your reading list!

There is something powerful about slowing down long enough to truly see.

These beautiful pieces were created by the incredibly gifted Jess Kuddes for our Hope in Every Season gatherings — and we saved this last one for today.

On a day when we remember the Good Shepherd who laid down His life and rose again, we invite you to simply pause with this image.

Take a moment.
Breathe.

What do you notice? What stirs in your spirit?

If you’d like to go deeper, we created a guided 12-minute reflection to walk you through this practice of Visio Divina. Just send us a message and we’ll share the link 🤍

Happy Easter. He is risen. 🌿

There is something powerful about slowing down long enough to truly see.

These beautiful pieces were created by the incredibly gifted Jess Kuddes for our Hope in Every Season gatherings. Within each event, women sat with these paintings in a practice called Visio Divina—and time and again, God met them right there. Through color, light, and imagery, He spoke personally and tenderly to their hearts.

Now we want to invite you into that same experience.

Take a moment.
Pause.
Breathe.
What do you notice? What stirs in your spirit?

If you’d like to go deeper, we created a guided 12-minute reflection to walk you through this practice. Just send us a message and we’ll share the link with you 🤍

We have one more from this collection we’ll be sharing on Easter Sunday. Stay tuned 🙏

What a beautiful day in Central Illinois. 💛

Women gathered, stories were shared, faith was strengthened, and hope was passed from one woman to another. That’s the heart behind Baton Pass, reminding each other that God is still moving in every season.

Thank you to every woman who came, every volunteer who served, and our incredible speakers who shared their stories so boldly.

One woman’s testimony can truly become another woman’s prophecy.

If you missed this event, more Baton Pass gatherings are coming. Stay tuned. ✨
