Becoming Free Retreat Team Testimonials
Stephanie Bennett
Author & Speaker: Becoming Free Retreat 2021-2022
"This retreat confirms providing a safe place for hurting women to be fully transparent without being judged is greatly needed. It sets each of them on a path of healing for their soul, mind and body."
Malissa MacKay
Logistics Coordinator: Becoming Free Retreat 2022 & 2025
"This retreat truly is the love of God expressed through people. From the moment I arrived, I felt the most sincerest and comforting encouragement -- from women I'd never even met before!
“Freedom comes when we FULLY embrace our story. The good, the bad, and the messy all work together to create the beautiful people we are.
God does not make mistakes, nor does He waste any experience. God gives us beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, and praise instead of heaviness. So that He may be glorified. (Is 61:3)
When we are vulnerable and transparent, we give others permission to do the same. Our strength becomes their strength. Our courage becomes their courage. Our triumph becomes their triumph.
Our broken path has a purpose.”
-Dee Thomas
