What My Guests Say

  • This class helped me know myself and my relationship with the Lord better, bringing both tragic and wonderful aspects of my past together and learning to see myself more as Jesus sees me. 
    ~Sara S.

  • I’ve had the privilege of attending both Lori’s retreats and her class, and each experience has been life-changing. Every time, I learn more about myself and more about how God truly sees me as His beloved child, not condemned, but deeply loved even through my mistakes and sins. Her teaching style is so authentic and heartfelt that it makes it easy to connect with the message and apply it to my own life. I always walk away feeling renewed, encouraged, and closer to God. I can’t recommend her retreats and classes enough!
    ~ Kim L.

  • The class is really about finding out more about who you are and who Christ has called you to be, in spite of and because of what you've gone through.  It's really fascinating!
    ~ Kristin B.

  • I love the meaningful connection - both with Lori as she shares and those at my table.  Even playing games together was a lot of fun and laughter.
    ~ Nicole S.

  • I have been attending Lori’s retreats from the beginning and they are life changing. What sets Lori apart from other Christian retreats is the way she teaches, then gives us time and space to reflect, and work through what we’ve learned. There is time to simply be with God and reflect. There will be growth and you will walk away looking forward to the next one.
    ~ Amy Heyn

  • I was very impressed with the class—it was eye-opening to me and truly life-changing. While I had always believed in God, I really never thought I could have a personal relationship with Him. The content was comprehensive and provided a strong foundation for understanding key concepts from the Bible and developing ways I could build my relationship with Him. It’s the kind of course that equips anyone with the resources and tools they need to grow spiritually and personally. Lori, was exceptional—well-spoken, knowledgeable, scripture-based and highly engaging throughout. One of the most impactful aspects of the class was exploring how the past has shaped my self-identity, personal growth, and spiritual understanding. It gave me clarity and helped connect past experiences to my current journey with God and life.
