God’s Redemptive Story: from ashamed and abused to accepted in the Beloved
This retreat is designed for women from a church background who have or are living in an abusive relationship with someone perceived as an authority figure. This could include a spouse, a parent or other family member, or someone in a role of spiritual authority.
In a place of warm welcome and safety, women will be encouraged to reflect on their beliefs about who God is and who they are, and to move towards the healing and hope of their true identity as the Beloved of God, their Redeemer.
Our facilitator, Nancy Shepherd, will share from her story of emerging from a long abusive relationship into healing, freedom and joyful hope. Her passion is to help women understand the true nature of the God who loves them, and make space for God’s Spirit to heal and transform, and lead them into greater life.
