More coming in 2026!
You’re not alone. Countless moms feel the same way. In fact, you’re exactly who Girded in Strength was built for.
Most of us moms (and our husbands) juggle a thousand reps every day: work, kids, aging parents, church commitments—always lifting, rarely refueling. The result? We’re fit enough to crush a workout, yet quietly hungry for deeper purpose and spiritual stamina.
Morning Strength Workouts led by me to keep your body firing, because Proverbs 31:17 calls us to “make our arms strong”.
Transformative Bible Study Sessions immerse you in the life-changing biblical narrative. We’ll wrestle with God’s story so truth moves from head to a strengthened heart.
Couples Time where you translate insights into action plans for marriage, parenting, and family mission, because faith grows deepest when you and your spouse are together.
Scripture Comes Alive – Open your Bible and instantly see one seamless Story and exactly what character He’s created you to play in it. Bible reading shifts from checklist to life-giving desire.
Prayer Turns Two-Way – No more monologues; you catch yourself chatting with God in traffic, during workouts, even while folding laundry—and sensing answers that steer daily choices.
Marriage Moves to the Same Beat – Living a shared Story provides a common language for grace and growth to both you and your spouse, turning conflicts into joint problem-solving sprints.
Date-Night Depth on Tap – Conversation jumps beyond kids and logistics to dreams, purpose, and, “What’s God inviting us into next?” all while enjoying good food.
Family on Mission – A one-line family mission statement hangs on the fridge, guiding calendars, budgets, and priorities so the whole crew works toward a common goal as a team.
Workouts Gain a Why – Every workout echoes Proverbs 31:17: strength for service, not selfies, so sweat feels like worship.
Energy That Outlasts Crisis – Inner resilience trained in Scripture meets outer endurance built on the bike; you recover faster, stress less, and carry a calm that friends can’t quite pin down.
Strength and mobility sessions that push you just enough. And yes, husbands can sweat beside you or join in a men’s prayer hike.
An interactive journey through Scripture’s sweeping narrative using an ancient discussion practice called midrash. No lectures, just guided discussions that move truth from the page to your heart, building the inner strength that outlasts any PR.
Gather around the kitchen to cook, learn quick healthy recipes, and share family-table hacks that keep everyone fueled after the retreat.
A shared family mission statement drafted during guided breakout time.
Repeatable rhythms for physical movement, Scripture engagement, and dinner-table discipleship.
Stronger marriage alignment—because nothing bonds like sweating, studying, and serving together.
