Joelle Park
In 2020, Joelle’s career in hospitality was soaring until the pandemic brought the travel industry to a crashing halt. Work responsibilities seemed insurmountable as she found herself managing daunting projects while trying to stay afloat at home in her roles as a wife and mother of two young boys. The days seemed long and relentless and Joelle wasn’t sure she could handle it all. It turns out she couldn’t… God could. Joelle will share about the step she took to find blessings in dark moments and how God helped her emerge stronger than before.
Michelle White
Michelle loves a full schedule, a to-do list, and being with others. Enter the pandemic. Isolation and anxiety crowded in on top of the overwhelming experiences of potty training her daughter and helping her son navigate virtual kindergarten. Michelle found herself losing the battle with the voice in her head telling her that she wasn’t good enough and that her family might be better off without her. Find out how God drew near to Michelle and walked her through darkness to light.
Denise Fleissner Ralston
When Denise looked in the mirror she had no idea who she had become. Divorce had tarnished her dream of marriage, single parenting and launching her children into adulthood had aged her, and she was involved in an emotionally abusive relationship she did not have the courage to leave. Curled in a ball on her best friend’s kitchen floor, Denise was in crisis and paralyzed with fear. Join us to hear how God intervened through an invitation to take a step that changed her life.
