WOW! Abound 2025 was absolutely incredible! 🎉🔥

We had an absolute BLAST spending the weekend with you! From the powerful words of Ruth Chou Simons, to the life-giving breakout sessions that took us deeper into God’s Word 📖, to the laughter, worship, and sweet moments shared with both old and new friends—every single moment was a gift! 💕

We are so grateful for each of you who showed up with open hearts and expectant spirits. God moved in powerful ways, and we know this is just the beginning of all He has in store! 🙌✨

We can’t wait to share more photos this week as we soak in and celebrate all that God has done! 📸✨ Stay tuned for some of our favorite moments—you just might spot yourself! 😉🙌
