Connect Retreat Recap

  • Connect 2017 | Winshape Retreat Center - Rome, GA

Have you ever had something in your life that you’ve looked back on and thought “Oh wow…. what would my life look like without this?!”. That’s what the Connect Retreat is like in our life. Years ago, we traveled down to GA to meet up with our dear friends Zach & Jody to brainstorm the idea of hosting a retreat for married couples in business together. 4 years later, I can honestly say that this retreat has provided a space and opportunities for God to grow and transform our marriage in the most amazing ways.

The Workshop Experience

  • April 2017 | Behind the Scenes

This post seems surreal to me. We have officially hosted our very first two-day workshop in our new home and it was absolutely amazing! We designed our living room, our kitchen and our keeping room to be able to host these events, and it was so much fun to see the space we created fulfill its purpose!! After reading through our post-workshop questionnaire, one of the recurring themes was how much our attendees loved how welcoming, open and inviting our home felt.

Wes + Lindsey

There are some moments during wedding days that just stop you in your tracks. It’s moments like this that make you have such a deeper love and respect for the people you’re serving. Wes and Lindsey love their families. They especially love and admire their parents. I’ve never…. in all of my 250+ weddings… seen a ceremony so dedicated to honoring and thanking parents in such a special and meaningful way. It was important to them that they tell their parents just how much their marriage and their example has made an impact on the way that they want their marriage to be.
