PORTLAND, we’re coming for you. 🍂
Join us October 15–17, 2026 for the next Intentional Motherhood Retreat in Portland, Oregon.
We would love to gather with you for a weekend of rest, renewal, honest conversation, and space to encounter God together.
A few weeks ago in Franklin, Tennessee, we experienced something incredibly special. The Spirit moved in powerful and tender ways, and we are still carrying so much gratitude for every mother who showed up with open hands and hearts.
We were deeply honored to learn from and be encouraged by Elizabeth Mosser, Megan Fate Marshman, Greta Eskridge, and Diane Comer. Each woman brought wisdom, honesty, and hope that ministered to all of us in unforgettable ways.
There’s something sacred about mothers gathering together to slow down, worship, pray, laugh, cry, and remember we were never meant to do this alone.
Portland, you’re next. We can’t wait to see what God has in store. ✨
WE ARE DOING IT AGAIN!
The next Intentional Motherhood Retreat is happening in Portland Oregon, October 15–17.
If something in you feels worn down, or you’ve been holding more than you’ve had space to process, this weekend is for you. It’s not about getting away for a break. It’s about coming back to who you are with God and letting Him meet you in an honest place.

We just wrapped our last retreat, and it’s hard to put into words what happened.
It wasn’t loud or flashy. It was quiet, honest, and real.
Women came in carrying a lot. Some of it had been buried for years. And over the course of the weekend, you could see it start to come into the light. There were moments of confession that shifted the room. Conversations that felt like release. Prayer that wasn’t polished, just real and needed.
You could feel God meeting people, not in a distant way, but right in the middle of their story.
There was healing. There was clarity. There was a kind of peace that didn’t feel forced.
Thank you all who made your to Nashville! See you in Portland Oct 15-17 2026
There was a moment we didn’t expect, and it’s hard to fully put into words what it meant to us.
At one point, from the stage, a call was made to pray over Elizabeth for healing, and suddenly the room joined in. Voices lifted all at once, full of faith, energy, and expectation. It was powerful. Not planned, not orchestrated by us, just one of those moments you realize you’re standing in something bigger than yourself.
We came ready to give, to pour out, to serve. But in that moment, we were the ones being poured into. It caught us off guard in the best way.
To everyone who prayed, who leaned in with such sincerity and belief, thank you. That was a gift we didn’t know how much we needed.
“He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)
We felt that deeply.
Night one at the Intentional Motherhood Retreat in Franklin, Tennessee… and wow. It’s hard to put into words what God did in the room.
From the very beginning, you could feel it. The Spirit moved in a powerful, unmistakable way. Walls came down. Confession happened. There was honesty, freedom, and the kind of courage that only shows up when people know they’re safe.
Worship led by Jeff and Jourdan Johnson from Passion City Church created space for hearts to open wide. Megan Fate Marshman poured truth and encouragement over every woman in the room. And Elizabeth brought a word that didn’t just inspire, it.was.powerful.
In between it all? Laughter, late-night conversations, new friendships forming, and moments where you just knew… something meaningful was happening.
It wasn’t polished or perfect. It was real. And it was powerful.
Grateful for every story, every tear, every breakthrough already unfolding. And this is just the beginning. ✨
We discuss how the lies we believe are often 90% truth mixed with just 10% deception, enough to subtly redirect our lives.
We explore how the enemy uses this tactic, referencing Eve’s temptation in the garden, and how these lies manifest in our daily lives as parents and individuals.
We talk about the destructive lies we tell ourselves about causing irreparable damage, and how we underestimate the power of forgiveness, repair, and God’s redemptive healing in our lives.

Happy 14th Scarlet Ruth!
This girl is special in every way. Wise beyond her years, a deep soul, the life of the party and an incredibly loyal friend.
Beyond thankful to get to be her mom.
Happy 10th Birthday Birdie James! 🎉🎂🥳
This girl is my hero.
I remember sitting across from a neurologist in a hospital room almost ten years ago and being told her future was extremely uncertain. I remember wondering what 10 year old Birdie would be like. I had so many unanswerable questions.
Though her life is not easy and even this year new diagnosis’ and treatments were given… she is a living picture of the mixture we face this side of heaven.
Unimaginable joy and gratitude over what is and deep grief and lament over what is not.
Her story teaches me and our whole family everyday. She makes us laugh constantly with her subtle humor, shows us how to value and honor those who are different from us and shows us what resilience really looks like.
We love you to the moon and back a million times Birdie James.

🚨🚨🚨We are less than TWO months away from the Intentional Motherhood Retreat in Nashville… and it’s starting to feel real.
There’s something about getting close to a gathering like this where you just know it’s not going to be ordinary.
This isn’t just another conference. It’s a room full of moms who are tired, hopeful, carrying a lot, praying big prayers for their families, and wanting to be formed in the way of Jesus in the middle of real life.
We are coming expectant. Truly. We’re asking the Holy Spirit to meet us there in a way that changes homes, not just a weekend.
Elizabeth Mosser will be there.
Greta Eskridge.
Megan Fate Marshman.
Diane Comer.
And a few surprises we’re still holding close.
Jeff and Jourdan Johnson from Passion are leading worship and we are so pumped about what that’s going to feel like in that room.
If money is the hesitation, please don’t let that be the reason you miss it. We have group rate tickets. We have volunteer tickets. If you need a way in, we’ve tried to create one.
Nashville. Less than two months.
If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your moment to decide.
Come hungry. Come hopeful. Come expectant.
