Point girls to Jesus during Advent!

It was fun and encouraging to contribute to this study with @lifewaygirls. And I think your girls will benefit from learning the names of Jesus in the book of John as they prepare to celebrate His coming on Christmas Day!

Yesterday we hosted over 250 ladies for our Beauty from Ashes women’s event. It was an incredible morning of fellowship, worship, and time in the Word. @katedown shared a powerful message about finding our worth in Jesus and how the fear of God is far more powerful than the man made fear we face.

Thank you to every lady that attended. We pray it blessed you and we can’t wait to come together again!

Deeply Rooted Woodstock was a beautiful reminder that God is always at work in and through His people.

We gathered around God’s Word, encouraged one another, and were reminded that true growth begins when we stay deeply rooted in Christ. Thank you for joining us! We can’t wait to see how God continues to work in your life.

Today, Kate continued our Love Languages series by reminding us that words of affirmation are meant to encourage us, not become the source of our identity.

Only our Creator has the authority to tell us who we are, because our value has always been found in Him.

All creation cries: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God almighty! Who was, and is, and is to come!

This is my student camp 2026 photo haul.
Most of which are pictures of the sky and the lake.
The most treasured are the goofy ones with the people I have the honor to serve alongside of and to.
The ones most important are the cries of creation as we declare his holiness.

Do not miss out, or turn a blind eye, to what this generation is experiencing and declaring.

God doesn’t need us to have it all together. He just wants us to show up to Him with an open, honest, and vulnerable heart.

Camp this year was unimaginable. I said that last year might have been my last camp as a student but it would definitely not be my last student camp with battlecreek. And I could not be more grateful that I had the opportunity to say yes to be a sixth grade girls community group leader. Camp is always fun and exciting but this year it was life changing. Watching Gods goodness and presence in each and everyone one of my kids lives was truly amazing. They taught me so much. And watching them CHOOSE JESUS and get saved and get baptized is moments I will never forget. Thank you Eagle Sky 2026. God changed lives and He doesn’t just stop after camp. He continues. THANK YOU JESUS FOR EVERYTHING
