The last few years have brought worry and stress that has left many of us lacking the Joy the Lord wants for us. Amy will bring powerful biblically-based teachings, guide meaningful group discussions, and help each woman renew her joy and apply these life changing concepts to her own life.
Each of our tours and activities has been hand selected to work in harmony with Amy’s teachings. Whether it is seeing world famous paintings of biblical heroines in a private tour of the Louvre or climbing the stairs of Mont St Michel monastery where woman have pilgrimages to for over 1000 years to seek God, or standing on Omaha beach and reflecting on how you can live your one life well – we know that Amy’s teachings will pair with our explorations in a way that will leave your soul refreshed and your purpose clarified like never before.
