Multisession Retreats

I love getting to know people over the length of a retreat, tailoring my talks to minister to the group as we learn together.

Balance in the Circus of Life: Thriving Amid the Tension

Vanquishing the Vampires: Fighting the Fears That Suck the Lifeblood Out of You

Have you ever been afraid? Has worry ever kept you up at night? Whether we call them fears, worries, cares, or concerns, we all find them preying on our minds and hearts. Together we’ll explore how two familiar passages—The Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23—offer practical help in slaying fears and living in God’s security. Discover how to keep joy-suckers at bay and live confidently.

  • “Working with Carol to plan our retreats was amazing and pain-free! She (and husband, Les, at two events) spoke and led interaction at three Pastor’s Retreats we held: first, ‘Finding Balance between Family Life and Pastoral Needs’; second, ‘Finding Friendships that Nourish the Soul’; and third, ‘Couple Identity.’ Her firsthand knowledge of the topics and her humor struck a chord with everyone! Our attendees walked away with meaningful, biblical ideas to bring balance and a harmony within their family life and ministries.”
