Rooted & Refreshed Marriage Retreat
Strengthening the Foundation. Renewing the Connection. Growing Together.
Every marriage needs strong roots to withstand life's changing seasons, and every couple needs moments to pause, reconnect, and be refreshed.
Rooted & Refreshed is a Christ-centered marriage retreat designed to help couples strengthen their foundation, deepen their connection, and cultivate a marriage that continues to grow and flourish.
Whether you're newly married, navigating a season of transition, or have been walking together for decades, this retreat offers an intentional opportunity to step away from everyday responsibilities and invest in one another.
Through biblical teaching, honest conversations, practical tools, engaging activities, and meaningful moments of connection, couples will be encouraged to examine what keeps their marriage rooted while discovering ways to refresh their love, communication, intimacy, and commitment.
This isn't about having a perfect marriage. It's about building a healthy, thriving marriage that can weather life's storms, embrace new seasons, and continue bearing fruit.
Because a strong marriage doesn't just happen. It must be intentionally nurtured.
Come ready to reconnect, rediscover, laugh, learn, and grow together.
Get rooted. Be refreshed. Grow stronger—together.
FREE INDEED CONFERENCE
Free Indeed is a two-day encounter designed for those who are ready to confront what has kept them bound, break generational patterns, close spiritual doors, and walk in the freedom Jesus Christ has already made available.
Born from three words—deliverance. different. necessary.—Free Indeed is more than a conference. It is an intentional journey toward freedom.
Some things we have learned to manage were never meant to remain. Some patterns have been passed from generation to generation for so long that they feel normal. Some doors were opened through choices, trauma, relationships, environments, agreements, or experiences we did not fully understand. And sometimes, what we have called “just the way I am” needs to be brought before God and examined in the light of His truth.
Just enough won’t do.
Free Indeed creates space to learn what Scripture teaches about spiritual bondage and freedom, recognize patterns and open doors, understand the authority of the believer, renounce what no longer has permission to remain, and experience the healing and deliverance of Jesus Christ.
The Experience
Friday Night: Prayer • Worship • Preparation
We begin by preparing our hearts and creating an atmosphere for God to move. Through worship, prayer, reflection, and surrender, participants are invited to come honestly before the Lord and prepare for the work of freedom.
Saturday: Teaching • Demonstration • Encounter
Saturday moves deeper through biblical teaching and practical application. Participants will learn about demonic influence, spiritual legal rights and open doors, generational patterns, recognizing spiritual activity, and the biblical process of deliverance. Teaching is followed by opportunities for prayer, ministry, reflection, and personal encounter.
This experience is not about fear, hype, or blaming everything on a demon. It is about truth, discernment, authority, healing, repentance, and freedom through Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36
You do not have to keep carrying what God is calling you out of.
You do not have to keep repeating what has followed your family for generations.
You do not have to settle for functioning while bound.
It’s time to get free.
Free Indeed: Just Enough Won’t Do!
RHEMA RETREATS
The History of Rhema Retreats
Born Out of Obedience. Rooted in Encounter. Continually Evolving.
In 2013, the Lord laid something on my heart that seemed much bigger than anything I could imagine. He told me to plan retreats.
And I ignored Him.
Not because I didn't want to obey, but because I couldn't see what I had to offer. What could I possibly do for people at a retreat? What would I say? What would the experience look like? The assignment seemed overwhelming, and for a long time, I convinced myself that it was simply too much.
But God wouldn't let it go.
He continued to speak, continued to nudge, and eventually, I surrendered my questions and insecurities to His instruction.
And in the summer of 2015, Rhema Retreats was born.
2015: Where It All Began
Our very first Rhema Retreat brought together seven women at the beach. It was intimate, authentic, and filled with the presence of God.
Those seven women cried, released, journaled, dreamed, and made plans. More importantly, each woman left with something personal—something that God had spoken directly to her.
What began as a step of obedience became a divine encounter. I quickly realized that Rhema was never about what I could give people. It was about creating an atmosphere where they could hear from God for themselves.
2016–2019: A Journey of Growth and Transformation
In our second year, God expanded Rhema from seven women to 21! The instruction was simple but powerful: Relax. Release. Relate.
Women came carrying the weight of life, expectations, and experiences. They left having laid down things that had held them bound, with renewed purpose and divine instruction for what was next.
In year three, God sent a new group of women with a different assignment: It Was Time to Build. This was a season of moving beyond dreaming and planning into intentional action. God challenged the women to confront stagnation, embrace responsibility, and begin building what He had placed inside them.
Year four brought an intentionally smaller gathering. These women were ready to walk through their open doors. The charge was to Ascend and Enter Into Their Next. It was a time of elevation, transition, and courage to move into the places God had already prepared.
Then came year five.
The Lord gave me just one word: HERE.
The instruction was to stop overlooking the significance of the present while waiting for something in the future. God challenged us to recognize the opportunities, assignments, and blessings available in our right now.
It was powerful. It was necessary. And I believed it was the end of Rhema Retreats.
2020–2022: The Season of Silence
In 2020, the world changed.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented shifts, and my own life was experiencing significant transitions. I made the decision to step away from hosting retreats.
I was tired. I was tapped out. And quite frankly, I didn't believe I had anything else to offer in the retreat space.
Over the next few years, women would occasionally ask, "When is Rhema coming back?"
My answer was never particularly encouraging. I simply didn't have the desire to do it again. As far as I was concerned, Rhema had fulfilled its purpose. But God had another plan.
2023: Bring Back the Roar!
In early 2023, I began hearing whispers from the Holy Spirit that there was still more for Rhema to do.
Once again, I ignored them.
I knew what retreat planning required—the time, the energy, the investment, the responsibility. And I was perfectly content not taking it on again.
But the Holy Spirit kept speaking.
Finally, one day, I asked the Lord directly if He really wanted me to bring Rhema back.
His response was immediate.
BRING BACK THE ROAR!
I was stunned.
But within an hour, the Lord had given me the theme and Scripture for Rhema 2023. There was no mistaking the instruction. Rhema wasn't finished. It was time to return.
And this time, things would be different.
For the first time, Rhema moved from the beach to the mountains. The Lord impressed upon me that what He wanted to release required an atmosphere that reflected the strength, magnitude, and enormity of the move.
The mountains represented something different. This wasn't simply a return to what we had done before. It was a new season, a renewed assignment, and a call to rise with fresh strength and boldness.
Rhema had found its roar again.
More Than a Retreat
From seven women gathered at the beach to the continued unfolding of God's vision, Rhema Retreats has always been about one thing: creating intentional spaces for people to encounter God, hear His voice, and respond to His instruction.
Every gathering has been different. Every theme has carried a specific assignment. Every season has required fresh obedience.
And perhaps the greatest lesson Rhema has taught me is that God doesn't need me to have all the answers. He simply requires my yes.
What began as an assignment I thought was too big for me has become a testimony of what God can do when we make room for Him to speak.
Rhema is not about repeating an experience. It is about responding to what God is saying now.
The assignment may evolve. The atmosphere may change. But the heart of Rhema remains the same: encounter, transformation, and obedience to the voice of God.
