At Christmas when we’re pondering “the Word became flesh,” it can be very worshipful to slow down and use our own hands to create something beautiful. Join Lindsey Ray—a mom of three and ray of sunshine—as she helps us create a custom Christmas ornament featuring an embroidered word that will help us remember this special season every Christmas season.

In the Old Testament, God Himself encourages His people to wear His Word on their bodies, so that they are never far from a reminder of truth. Join Megan Morris, a local mom, candle-maker, and Story & Soul’s Creative Director, as she invites us to consider what part of God’s Word God is inviting us to carry with us. After some reflection, we’ll craft together to make a personalized set of bracelets that can remind you of truth in your everyday life. Note: This breakout session has a $10 supply fee.

As the Director of Admissions, Dean of Women, and an Associate Professor of Women’s Studies in Theology at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary, Candi Finch loves training others to know and share the gospel. In her breakout session “How We Got the Bible,” Candi will help us better understand how the world’s most famous book came to be—and why you can trust that it is truly the Word of God.

As women of the Word, we must give special attention to the new command Jesus gave: “Love one another as I have loved you.” In a world where love is so often distorted and self-seeking, how can we embrace this word and experience the true joy of the Lord in our relationships? Join Danielle Shelley, a former missionary, homeschooling mom, and Bible teacher as she dives into 1 John and helps us (1) consider the love of the Trinity, the only perfectly loving community, and (2) search out how we can better reflect, experience, and share the great love of God.

Although her church family often benefits from her service on the worship team, Becca Sayger endured a difficult five years in which she completely lost her singing voice. However, in the midst of it she learned a humility and perspective for worship worth more than any song. Join Becca, a former high school teacher and current stay-at-home mom with her baby girl Lanie Kate, as she shares her story and through it, encourages and equips you to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.

Registration for Story & Soul is live! Wanna know what a typical weekend is like? Here’s a glimpse of what Friday evening looks like shortly after you arrive:

Every year at Story & Soul Weekend, we present a creative retelling of the Big Story of the Bible. One of our team members, Caroline Saunders, will present this story during our first worship session and then we’ll enjoy some delicious snacks and friend time before heading to bed.

We hope you’ll join us year and experience the beauty of Scripture, stillness, and sisterhood!

Registration is live for Story & Soul Weekend!

Often we cannot connect with God or with each other because we can’t turn off our treadmill way of life. Often we cannot hear God, who loves to speak in the whisper, because we’ve allowed our lives to become so noisy and hurried. We love to create content and events that invite women to slow down, to “be still and know” that God is God, to meditate on His character, and to experience the gift of being a beloved daughter to a loving and sovereign Parent.

Story & Soul is designed to be a screeching halt, an opportunity to hit the breaks. While other retreats tend to schedule every minute and can often times feel exhausting or overwhelming, we intentionally leave space to rest and process. We’d love for you to join us this year!

Did you know that Story & Soul is a retreat dreamed up by three best friends? (You can check out more about our vision & story on the Lifeway Women Podcast, Marked, the episode titled A Home Away From Home). The three of us first got to know one another through teaching a high school girls’ small group together, so women’s ministry was a part of our friendship DNA right from the beginning. It’s always been natural for us to discuss what women and girls need and how we can minister to them. One day, we were all hanging out together with our (at the time) total six kids under 2, discussing the things we longed for most: a chance to join together with other women to hear really strong, gospel-centered teaching, a chance to have a leisurely cup of coffee and chat with our friends without being interrupted by a crying child, a chance to sit with our Bibles without feeling rushed, a nap—the list went on and on. Eventually we realized that our “dream list” was probably something other women wanted, too. And we thought, let’s create the space for it. We haven’t looked back since.

Registration will be live tomorrow morning at 9am! Be sure to register using the link that will be in our bio and in our stories!

Looking for a cozy way to connect with your people at Story & Soul Weekend? The newly renovated cottages are the perfect place to cultivate some sleepover vibes with up to 10 of your friends! Cottage spots are $195: Each side of the cottage has its own bathroom and can hold up to 10 women. It’s a cost effective option and really fun for groups.

Registration goes live 9/3 at 9am! Check out our stories tomorrow and the link in our bio to register! (*Please note that our link is for individual and smaller group registration only. Churches and other large groups have their own registration link and group leader.)
