Retreat Topics

Total Body Makeover: We’ll take a head to toe—or rather toe to head—look at where our feet are planted (Session 1: Stand Stronger), what are hands are clinging to (Session 2: Live Lighter) and what our hearts and minds are holding onto (Session 3: Rest Deeper).

From Rubble to Rebuilt: Whether you’re rebuilding your family, your marriage, your health, or your dreams, Nehemiah offers life-changing strategies to help you build strong. Four sessions.

She lives in the Phoenix area with her husband of 27 years and their adorable puppy Pearl.

Expanded bio:

A journalist and marketer-turned-ministry leader, Laurie Davies has been writing since her advanced composition teacher told her in 1989 that she broke too many rules. Laurie worked as a journalist and marketing professional for 25 years before making the next, obvious career move—a leap into vocational ministry.

Now a lay counselor, author and speaker, Laurie helps women live “hands-free”—setting down the emotional baggage that God didn’t ask them to carry. Laurie has contributed to Guideposts, and Chicken Soup for the Soul and she also serves as lead editor on Shaunti Feldhahn’s Atlanta-based ministry team. Laurie lives in the Phoenix area with her husband of 27 years, Greg. Their adult son is (almost!) done with college and makes his home nearby. And their puppy Pearl also works her way (constantly and adorably) into the Davies’ family narrative.
