Up Close and Personal: Becoming a Day to Day Reflection of God
Wendy Pope
Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees! (Psalm 119:5) It is a tough balancing act for believers to be in this world and not of this world.

Moving From Fear to Faith

She also shares how we can please God today. Available as a 3-4 session retreat, or a single presentation.

Ultimate Stress Makeover: From Frazzled to Bedazzled with Christ!
Tracie Miles
Most women could win a gold medal for getting caught up in the captivity of activity and allowing difficulties of life to bring them down emotionally, physically and spiritually. Many times we look to the world's ways of dealing with stress, and forget to focus on God's ways, but only He can provide the mercy, grace and compassion needed to triumph over the challenges we face so as not be trapped in a life dominated by stress and worry. In this session, women will have the opportunity to complete a confidential stress self-assessment (optional), learn the many effects that stress has on us, and how to rely on God for deliverance and reassurance so that we can lead peaceful, restful and joyful lives, despite our circumstances.

Rejection, Reflection and God's Direction
Tracie Miles
Tracie uses sincere honesty and transparency to discuss how rejection cuts deep into our souls and affects our hearts and minds. The session encourages women that they can triumph over all types of rejection by viewing it as a way to see our personal weaknesses and turn them into strengths, and focus on how our trials can be used to bring glory to God. This session will encourage women to only seek the approval of our Heavenly father, and not the approval of man (or woman!). It is a great session to lift women's spirits and help them see themselves through the eyes of a loving God.

Empowered By a Whisper
Tracie Miles
This session will remind women how to hear God's voice, in the unique and individual ways that He chooses. Tracie will share her personal testimony and the ways that God spoke to her to help her step out in faith and pursue the purposes that He had for her life. Tracie will share stories of biblical characters that listened for God to speak and followed His will, how listening to God's voice results in abundance blessings, and how important it is to allow God to guide us through even the smallest daily decisions in our lives.

Perfume, Purpose and Peace
Tracie Miles
This session focuses on the fragrances that our lives leave on others. When a woman who is wearing strong perfume leaves a room, her fragrance lingers in the air, and in the same way our lives leave a fragrance on the hearts of those whom God puts in our paths. This session will take a look at biblical information about fragrances, highlights various names of modern perfumes and how our personal signature scents may be a reflection of our true personalities! Being willing to take an inward look at ourselves and see if it is pleasing to God, is a key factor in learning to live a life which portrays Christ to others. This is a fun session that all women will be able to connect with.

Reinventing Your Rainbow
Tracie Miles
Tracie shares her powerful testimony as she leads women to an understanding of how God can use all things to His glory if they are willing to listen to His voice and step out in obedience. This session is based on Tracie's book, "Reinventing Your Rainbow: A Spiritual Journey of Leaving the Dark Shadows of Satan's Bondage to Discover the Magnificent Colorful Rainbow that God Holds For Your Life". The story is wrapped around the Genesis' account of Noah, and focuses on Noah's obedience with building the arc and the blessings he received as a result of his obedience. The colors of the rainbow and their scriptural meanings are identified and tied to specific circumstances in life, and women will walk away with a new perspective on the rainbow, and a desire to allow God to use all of the colors in their live to glorify Him.

Removing The Mask: Learning To Love Our True Identities
Tracie Miles
Despite what a woman may be going through in life, she can put on a pretty face and make the world think she has it all together. However, scripture instructs that if we truly desire to have the character of Christ, we must stop pretending with each other, because God calls us to be transparent. This session will inspire and encourage women to take off their "masks", and be real with one another. It will remind women that each personal life story is actually God's story, and the only way to truly serve Him in all areas of our lives, is to be willing to use our experiences to bless and minister to others in need of encouragement. True friendships are built on honest communication, and what better way to build lifelong relationships than sharing honest, heartfelt feelings and experiences. Women will walk away with an understanding that they have each have a powerful story to share, and that being willing to be transparent with others; God will be able to use them in mighty and miraculous ways for His kingdom.

The Heart Of A Princess
Tracie Miles
Get ready for a trip down memory lane with Tracie as she uses her experiences at Disney World as a catapult into discovering true joy and the magical heavenly kingdom that God desires that we all experience. This session will help women recognize how small, and big, situations in life can steal their daily joy. It will encourage them to discover the joy that God intended for their lives by reflecting on the lives of fairy tale princesses. Women will leave with a renewed perspective of their daily trials and burdens; have a better understanding of how God brings joy to our lives in a myriad of ways through those experiences, and how to have the heart of a true princess - a heart filled with joy, contentment and happiness. We all have a princess inside of us - through Christ our heart can shine with joy for all to see. This is a fun, and light hearted sessions that women of all ages can enjoy.

Embracing The Call
Tracie Miles
God ordained each of us for specific purpose, and there comes a time in our lives when we finally recognize God's voice and understand what His calling is on our life.... but then what? When God calls us to do something, we can find every excuse in the book for not doing it - limited time availability; over-committed; young children; family pressures; health issues. But God is the master timekeeper and organizer or our lives, and He not only has equipped us to serve Him, but will provide the tools, resources, time and organization needed to do His will. If you do not feel qualified, He will qualify you. This session encourages women to look back in their lives and realize how God has been preparing them for service in each stage of their life. Women will feel inspired and motivated to seek out God's will for their lives, embrace their callings, and build their desire to carry out God's plan in their lives.

Cultivating A Heart For Servant Leadership
Tracie Miles
Soccer, Cheerleading, Piano, Baseball, Basketball, Work, Children, Husbands, Laundry.... all of these seem like valid reasons to justify an unwillingness or lack of time to serve God. This session leads women to a better understanding of how God gives us all the time we need to fulfill His purpose, and equips them to become leaders in their homes and in their church. Women will better understand God's desire for us to serve Him in a variety of ways, even when we think it is impossible, and help women have the strength and motivation to carry out their unique and divine purpose in ways they never thought possible.
