Event Theme:

"Thriving Through the Seasons of Grief: How to Overcome Disappointments, Change, and Loss—and Find Redemption"
Living Whole in the Midst of Ministry

Kathleen will lead us through an honest, hope-filled workshop that explores what it means to care for your soul, stay emotionally and spiritually healthy, and walk closely with God through both fruitful and difficult seasons. Drawing from her story as a wife, widow, grandmother, caregiver, social worker, and minister, she weaves deep biblical wisdom with real-life compassion.

In ministry, loss takes many forms—not just the passing of a loved one. Kathleen will gently help us recognize and process the many faces of grief, including disappointments, job transitions, moving to a new location, children leaving home, and the painful loss of dreams, pets, or marriages. Using Scripture, personal stories, and soul care tools, she will guide us in embracing these seasons with honesty—so that grief can become a doorway to healing, growth, and deeper joy.
