2026 Ladies Retreat
REGISTER ONLINE HERE
Join us for the 2026 Ladies Retreat, “You & Me, Jesus” at The Cove in Asheville, NC. 

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:17 (NIV)

Spending time discerning the Lord’s wisdom from the noise of “good things” all around us – Information fatigue is a real thing and as women of God we need to know how to tune out the ungodly counsel and replace good with God’s BEST for our individual lives. His ways are higher than we can understand and leaning on information is the desire to understand and not to live trusting the heart of God.  My life must be lived in tandem with God’s heart and led by the Spirit.
It’s you and me, Jesus!
