Workshop Offerings

We are so honored to have this incredible group of women available at the retreat to teach and share with you! Read through our choices and then pray to see which one or which two might be God’s choice for you! Remember that workshops are optional. This is a Selah retreat, so time to stop and be alone with God is encouraged. Seek the Lord on this, and if He calls you to one of these, we know you will be richly blessed.

Workshop: WAVEWALKER

Ministry: author of Fragile: 30 Days of Hope for the Anxious Heart

Presenter: Samantha Arroyo

Description: Chronic worry has the capacity to cripple, strangle and poison the heart and mind—even those bent toward a deeper relationship with Christ. Such was the case for Samantha Arroyo, who openly reflects on her debilitating, often paralyzing, struggle with severe anxiety. In an effort to find freedom from her prison of fear, Samantha began a journey through the Word of God that would help unlock the chains that had held her mind hostage for so long. In this workshop, Samantha will share her own journey and help others understand anxiety better. Whether you are the anxious one or you love an anxious one, come learn that no one is beyond repair. God is a refuge and can help you become a “wavewalker!”

Workshop: Prayer-focused Mentoring: Pointing others to THE Refuge

Ministry: MORE Mentoring

Presenter: Nancy Lindgren

Description:  Being a mentor can have so many preconceived notions–will I meet her needs, will I have the right advice to give, will I be enough for her? Those are daunting questions for anyone to live up to. What if it’s as simple as being a safe place for a mentee to be real and honest with what she’s going through? After all, the best and truest answers come from the Greatest Refuge we will ever know, Jesus. Only He can supply peace and protection in the storms of this life. Join me for my workshop where we’ll talk more about the transforming power of inviting Jesus into our conversations through prayer-focused mentoring.
