Building Bridges of Faith: A Recap of Fresh Grounded Faith in Chesapeake, VA

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.

Spill Beans Live Greenville Tammy Trent Shaun Groves

We are coming to you LIVE from a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Greenville, South Carolina, where I’m spilling the beans with two of my good friends, Shaun Groves and Tammy Trent.

We’re talking about knowing your calling, giving grace when someone you love disappoints you, and dealing with depression. Plus, Tammy speaks a good word of encouragement to the ladies who are single or single again.

Oh, and you’ll want to hear about how I climbed the Great Wall of China in the dead of winter on ice, as well as the story of my worst makeup mix-up EVER!

What do you get when you put me, Annie F. Downs, Tammy Trent, and Shaun Groves together at a bistro table in Texas? You get the craziest, most fun, deep, and inspiring conversation ever!

These crazy friends joined me in Fort Worth for a Fresh Grounded Faith event, and at the end of the conference, we got to be both silly and serious as we answered questions from the audience.

We talked about how to deal with loneliness, how to let go of hurts and disappointments, and how to find fulfillment in the monotony of everyday life.

Gladness, joy, and new life were blossoming all around us at Kingdom Life Church this weekend during Fresh Grounded Faith Greenville. There were women in attendance who were in their own desert or wilderness, and God definitely brought the refreshment of His Spirit and the water of His Word to quench their parched souls.
