Becoming A God Pleaser - Retreat Weekend or Saturday Seminar
This is not a time to reflect on performance or perfection. There is nothing any of us can do to be more loved by God than we are doing this very moment. Instead, this is a message of dependence and faith in the God who is pleased to call us His own. An important and pertinent message for today's woman who is usually bound up in people pleasing, approval seeking, and other unhealthy patterns that are clearly addressed in scripture. This is a life changing weekend or seminar.

The Perfection Trap - Women are affected by the culture. Christian women suffer with the pressure to perfect and perform just as the rest of the world does. This teaching focuses on what is true in God's word about perfection and performance. The goal of this teaching is to equip women with God's word and inspire them with a desire for changed focus.
Mothers of Influence - Each mother has the most amazing opportunity in front of her. God has given her a life to shape, a child to love, and a future to influence. This talk helps mother's understand the brevity of time in raising children, encouraging them to make the most of the time- and make a difference forever!
The 828 Principle - It's been memorized, it's been quoted and recited, but has Romans 8:28 and the truth therein been believed and relied on? This teaching focuses on the sovereignty of God and the purposes of God to change us in the middle of our pain.
Living Like It's Real - Many Christians trudge through life not fully believing that what they can not see is in fact real. When Debbie's mother was dying, her last words to her daughter were "Live Like It's Real Because It Is...and tell the women you talk to that heaven is real!" Naturally this impacted Debbie's life as she was aware that her mother saw the angels, saw a glimpse, and was now ready to go...because everything she had believed in was infact REAL! The focus of this teaching is trust in a God who is REAL!
