Pigeon Forge, TN
January 10-12 

No one loves the mountains more than I do! The winter season is a special time in the Smokies. Everything is still sparkling with the holiday lights in January, the beauty and starkness of the mountains is something that must be experienced. The crowds are not overwhelming, the coffee tastes a little better, the pancakes are a bit fluffier, and God shows up to these mountain meetings that we so anxiously await! 

 I expect 2025 to be a groundbreaking year. This is not only our 10th anniversary, it is also a year to celebrate sheer survival. Many of us have been through the storms of our lives in 2024. We have hung on for dear life….often comforted by our OWN pounding heartbeat, anxiety ridden perhaps, but still beating….as our only reminder that somehow, we are STILL BREATHING, and yes….we are STILL STANDING. 

 So here we are. Doing our very best to block the noise of the world, and hear the voice of Jesus at the same time. If He’s kept us through our current THIS, then He has a plan for our NEXT. 

I’m one of those people that thinks very little is by accident. I think we make divine connections on a daily basis. Often times the Lord is providing a connection that will change the trajectory of our lives…..and so often times it’s at events just like STRONGER. 

I promise you that this weekend will be a life-changing trip for you.

We have a new thing this year. We will have a “married couple” option. There will be a specific section for the men to observe from the back of the building.This will be a service for those ladies who want their husbands to drive them, etc.

This is a section reserved for the guys. We will see how it goes! I am always open to NEW ideas.

And yes, it is still a ladies conference. But we are in a season of life that we must be sensitive to the needs of everyone. Some of these ladies cannot drive and I don’t want anyone to miss the opportunity to be encouraged.

Ladies, gather your friends, make your plan, and join us!!!!

The nearest airport is Knoxville if you plan to fly. Nashville is about 3 ½ hours away by car.

 **The experience of Stronger will always be ABOUT fellowship. Togetherness. Getting to know each other. So I encourage you to stay in a cabin and bond with these ladies!

**As of this moment, we only have space for 150 women in the cabins. After that, it will be hotels only.

 **One person makes the purchase. There is an option to add the names of the other people in the room when you purchase. However, if you do not know, that’s OK as well. We can simply put the name on the order and indicate that it’s for multiple people. We’ve had to do this every single year. Sometimes you don’t know who your roommate is until the night before you leave. And that’s OK.

 We can handle it. Bottom line is we just want you to be there. The devil is ALWAYS in the details, but the Lord will be in the building.
