Grounded Identity is the theme for this year. We need to go deeper as we ground our identity in Christ in order to do the good works God has prepared for each of us.

Lisa’s passion and life’s mission are to be a catalyst and encourager for women as they grow in biblical literacy, spiritual maturity, and experiencing and reflecting the heart of God.
