“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Uprooting What Keeps Us Shallow
Every healthy tree begins with healthy soil. In this opening session, we will invite the Lord to reveal the beliefs, wounds, fears, habits, and spiritual strongholds that keep us from growing deeply in Him. Rather than focusing on our brokenness, we will focus on God's loving invitation to remove whatever hinders a thriving relationship with Christ. As unhealthy roots are exposed and surrendered to Him, our hearts become ready to grow in lasting intimacy with the Lord.
Rooting Ourselves Deeply in Christ
Once unhealthy roots are removed, something far greater begins to grow. This session explores what it truly means to abide in Christ—not merely knowing about Him, but learning to live from His presence every day. Together, we will discover how intimacy with Jesus, a secure identity in Him, and a life grounded in His Word become the source of lasting peace, strength, and spiritual nourishment. Deep roots are cultivated one surrendered day at a time.
Standing Firm Through Every Season
Jeremiah 17 doesn't promise a life free from hardship—it promises that those whose roots run deep will remain steadfast through every season. In this session, we will learn how to trust God in times of uncertainty, endure seasons of drought, and remain anchored when life's storms come. As our confidence shifts from our circumstances to God's unchanging character, we discover a resilience that only comes from being deeply rooted in Him.
Bearing Fruit That Lasts
A deeply rooted life naturally produces fruit. In our final session, we will explore how a life firmly established in Christ overflows into every area of our relationships, purpose, ministry, and influence. Rather than striving to produce results through our own effort, we will discover the joy of living from the overflow of God's work within us. As we leave the retreat, our prayer is not simply to be changed for a weekend, but to continue flourishing in every season as women who are firmly rooted in Christ.

2027 Women's Retreat
February 26 - 28, 2027
DEEPER CONNECTIONS
Friday night is all about getting settled in and getting to know the women you will be growing deeper roots with throughout the weekend. Deeper connections with each other help encourage us to continue establishing deeper roots long after the weekend is over. All throughout the weekend, there will be opportunities to make deeper connections with the Lord and the other attendees to encourage you in your deeper walk with Him.
This retreat was phenomenal! Andrea's curriculum was very well written and easy to understand but did make you dig deep!! This was definitely the recharge I needed in this area of my spiritual journey! I met many different women from around the US that were in different seasons of life. God used this to bring us all together. The location was fun and unique and I loved all the outdoor experiences the location had to offer. I can't wait to see what next year brings!

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, o God. My soul thirsts for the living God. Psalm 42:1-2
This was such a special time in the Lord's presence. Andrea is so passionate about her love for Jesus and what God has called her to do to further His Kingdom. The bonds that were formed between the women at the amazing retreat has been priceless and ongoing. I am looking forward to future retreats with Andrea and my new Sisters in Christ!

About the Host
Hi, I'm Andrea Williams, Founder & CEO of I Will Stand International and Andrea Williams International LLC (AWI Freedom & AWI Leadership)
The Lord began my personal deliverance and freedom journey in 1997. This journey was one of releasing, receiving, and going deeper with the Lord. At the time, I didn't know all the ins and outs of spiritual warfare. All I knew is that I needed Jesus in a life changing way. I needed to go deep with him so I could escape the depth of despair in my life. My deep cried out to his deep.
As the years passed, I couldn't articulate the work the Lord had done in me. I wanted to help others walk in the freedom the way I was walking in freedom. The Lord began to answer my heart cry and led me through spiritual warfare training...attaching verbage and understanding to my freedom journey with Him. The freedom journey can be a long journey of breaking away from the enemy, breaking free from mindsets, patterns, and habits, releasing all the things we hold onto that need to be released, firmly establishing ourself in truth and identity, and chasing the Lord with our entire heart and being. The purpose of our ministry is to help people along on this journey to fullness in Christ no matter where they are in the process. We are honored you are considering joining us in the journey!
