Our Story

In the fall of 2022, a sudden medical crisis during a business trip turned my world upside down.

I found myself sleeping on a small sofa in an ICU hospital room at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Jacksonville for eight weeks, keeping bedside vigil as my husband fought for his life while on life support as a team of top doctors worked around the clock to keep him alive.

I clung to Jesus like a raft in a swirling sea. In the midst of this storm (and an actual hurricane, too), I experienced unshakable faith and extraordinary peace that the Lord renewed daily. After four weeks and against all odds, my husband began to recover in such a way that the Mayo team called it a miracle! We celebrated and praised Jesus as his medical team made plans to transfer him out of ICU, then to a nearby rehabilitation facility within the coming weeks.

But then, a week before Christmas, in a sudden and heartbreaking turn, the Lord called him home. In a single moment, my life came crashing down around me. Yet even in my darkest season, in the depths of grief and despair, I felt God’s presence in a powerful way. He was gentle and compassionate as He drew me close and tucked me safely under His wing. In that quiet place, where life’s noise was hushed and the only thing I had the capacity to do was listen, He whispered a truth into my heart that would reshape my life: There is work to be done.

This event is the fulfillment of those whispered words, a calling and a vision given to a grieving widow in her darkest moments, when weariness ran deep, but God reached out His hand and said, Follow Me.

He didn’t stop there. He brought an amazing team into this vision, opening doors and removing obstacles, providing guidance, instruction, and resources every step of the way. Because all He wants is our yes, even when (especially when) His answer is no.

This conference stands on the unshakable promise of Ephesians 3:20, that God is able to do immeasurably MORE than we could ever ask or imagine, through His power at work within us. It is my prayer that our conferences will ignite transformation in your life. May you always leave feeling empowered, renewed, and ready to embrace the exceedingly, abundantly, immeasurably MORE that God has for you!
