Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What do you do to unwind? What’s your favorite smell or sound?
These are just a few of the questions we were asked as we sat around the bistro table in Plant City, Florida at a Fresh Grounded Faith event.
Author and podcaster Annie F. Downs and singer-songwriter Laura Story were with me, and these women gave so much insight and inspiration when we spilled the beans.
Last weekend, over 800 women from all walks of life gathered at Great Bridge Baptist Church in Chesapeake, Virginia for an unforgettable event: Fresh Grounded Faith. With the support of 10 co-host churches, our time together became a powerful testament to the strength of the body of Christ and the unifying power of faith.
And, as it turns out, the location itself has a history deep-rooted in resilience and unity.
Nestled in the heart of the Bluegrass State, Fresh Grounded Faith Lexington brought together over a thousand women from Kentucky and neighboring states for a soul-stirring weekend of faith, fellowship, and fun.
Against the backdrop of rolling hills and vibrant meadows, we dove into the transformative power of grace. With grace as the central theme, the event was a beautiful tapestry of inspiring messages, uplifting music, and heartfelt stories.
The final Fresh Grounded Faith conference of the year is a wrap, and what a treat it was to end our 2023 tour in my hometown, Springfield, Missouri!
Since the Springfield conference is an annual event, it’s one I look forward to every year for so many reasons:
When we woke up on Saturday morning in Fargo, the air was a crisp 16° and there was a snowy landscape that shimmered in the moonlight. Even though the sun was just barely shining, the moon was still on display—full, bright, and absolutely huge!
You would think we were in the middle of winter with the way it looked and felt outside, but I had to remind myself that it’s still fall—we’re still in the middle of the harvest.
Well, little did I know that God would show me exactly what kind of harvest it would be later on that day.
Our Plant City, Florida Fresh Grounded Faith is a wrap!
Just after the event, our National Conference Director, Terrie Bitter, shared a story with our ministry team that I want to share with you because it perfectly illustrates the hearts of the Plant City women.
Terrie shared how she was heading home from another FGF, and on the flight, she watched the movie Pearl Harbor on her iPad.
