Registration is Closed

In 2020, tickets for Disciplined were sold out in two weeks.In 2021, tickets for Rest have now sold out in eleven days. Wow! I am so humbled and overjoyed that the Lord continues to orchestrate and bless the work of Paideia Northwest.I am curious about what else He has in store for us, and what…

Teamwork

With the launching of Paideia Southeast yesterday, I had new opportunities to meet (ie interact digitally in one way or another) the rest of their team. What a blessing to see the unity those women share, and the workload they are splitting. They have said, more than once, how impressed they are by the work…

Northwest & Southeast

Today was a big day in the Paideia community… in fact, it is the day that Paideia Northwest grew into more than just one isolated group and actually can legitimately claim to be part of a community! Paideia Southeast, headquartered just north of Atlanta, GA, officially launched today! While this is not a direct ministry…

Find Rest for Your Souls

Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” After quite the year… and then some… I don’t think I am the only one feeling like I need more rest in my life than ever. And the temptation is to look just about everywhere for a variety of…

Merry Christmas to you

From my family to all of you who support Paideia Northwest through your prayers, soundboard feedback, sponsoring, or attendance~ we wish you a truly merry Christmastide. May this joy connect the hope of Advent and the light of Epiphany for you with the deep acknowledgement that the Savior came to save us from our sins…

Disciplined 2020

I am not entirely sure how to process the fact that Disciplined is behind us. It was truly a time of rich blessing and generosity and fellowship: I simply want to cling to it. To have the Lord bring this crazy idea to fruition for the third year in a row humbles me. His faithful…
