Identify the Blocks
Before we can enter the deeper waters of God’s presence, we must first identify the unseen barriers that hold us back. In this session, we’ll explore the strategies of the enemy and our own decisions that subtly work to keep our hearts distracted, fearful, or hardened from the Father. Together, we’ll learn to recognize the lies of the enemy and begin to dismantle strongholds by coming into alignment with the God's truth. Through prayer, scripture, and fellowship, we’ll begin to break free from what hinders intimacy and open our hearts fully to His love.
Go Deeper with Him
God invites each of us into a deeper, more personal relationship with Him — one that goes beyond surface-level faith into a living, breathing encounter with His presence. In this time, we’ll learn practical skills that help us draw nearer to His heart. Like Peter stepping out of the boat, we’ll respond to Jesus’ call to come closer — trusting Him to meet us in the deep places where transformation begins. This is a journey from knowing about God to truly knowing Him.
See Yourself As He Sees You
As we encounter the presence of God, He reveals not only who He is — but who we are in Him. This session will focus on rediscovering our identity as beloved daughters of the King. We’ll learn to exchange insecurity for confidence, comparison for contentment, and self-criticism for grace. Through Scripture and reflection, we’ll ask God to show us how He sees us — chosen, redeemed, and radiant in His love — and we’ll step forward in freedom to live out that truth every day.

2026 Women's Retreat
February 27 - March 1, 2026
DEEPER CONNECTIONS
Friday night is all about getting settled in and getting to know the women you will be going on the deeper journey with throughout the weekend. Deeper connections with each other help us to continue into Deeper Waters long after the weekend is over. All throughout the weekend, there will be opportunities to make deeper connections 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!

Deep Cries Out to Deep
Are you weary from fighting the same spiritual battles over and over again?
Do you long to hear God’s voice more clearly and consistently?
Has your quiet time become more of a routine than a real encounter?
Do you sense God calling you deeper, but you’re unsure of how to go deeper or what the immediate next steps are?
Would you like to discover your worth and confidence through the eyes of your Savior?
Do you desire to let the Lord lead you but just don't know how to let him lead you?
If any of these questions resonate with you, you need to be at this event!

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
But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life. Psalm 42:8
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!
