Stepping Out
How Our Footwear Impacts Our
Faith
A New Women’s Ministry Presentation from Lori
Hatcher
Shoes. We love them! From the
sassy sling backs to the sleek stiletto, there's a pair for every occasion.
Some see shoes as an accessory, others a necessity, but did you know that shoes
can have spiritual connotations, too?
In this fun, interactive presentation, Lori invites us to take a thoughtful look at the spiritual shoes we wear every day. We'll talk about styles that enhance our Christian walk, those that can hinder it, and the one pair of shoes we can't live without.

Everyone Has a Story -- What's Yours?
(45-minute women's ministry presentation)
Six ordinary women. Six
extraordinary stories.
In Everyone
Has a Story—What’s Yours?, Lori Hatcher, Editor of South Carolina’s Reach Out, Columbia magazine, shares the
stories of six local women she’s met through her work at the magazine.
Each has
encountered a serious faith challenge—a job loss, the death of a spouse, a
cancer diagnosis, and a brutal murder are just a few. As they’ve stepped out in
faith and said “yes” to God, they’ve seen Him work in amazing ways.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry,
and you’ll see yourself within their stories. Best of all, you’ll come away
with a greater sense of how God can use your story for His glory. Becky, Bren,
Buffy, Jenny, Marcia, and Ann Marie. Everyone
has a story—What’s yours?
Here's a sample of some of the stories she shares, part of the internet radio broadcast interview with Unfolded Hearts hostess, Debbie Somjak:
Praying with Power Seminar

*What the Bible Says about Prayer
*What Heroes of the Faith Say about Prayer
*Why Pray?
*What Can God Do Through Prayer?

You'll laugh, cry, and be inspired. She'll teach you how to hear God's voice, dream big, and watch God work in ways you never imagined.
This seminar is suitable for a weekend retreat or one-day event. Each participant will leave with a personalized prayer journal to help him/her be consistent and focused in prayer and keep a permanent record of answered prayer for generations to come.
It's a powerful, life-changing event!
What women are saying about Praying with Power Events:
"I love your prayer journal method, and I heard that many women who attended are using it and are experiencing a closer walk with the Lord. I loved seeing the women's enthusiasm. I loved hearing you speak and all of your examples and life's stories. The worship was awesome, the testimonies meaningful, the cross exercise (very meaningful and touching). You were so organized and stayed on track. God's grace oozed out of You as you made us feel at ease about our different hang-ups with prayer, etc." ~Chris Ludington
"Praying with Power, held at Pleasant Hill Baptist, honestly changed my life! Prayer just isn't talked about that much anymore, so spending a WHOLE day focusing on the power & joy of prayer was fantastic! Lori shared from the Word & from personal experience about how important prayer is & how it can rock our world!! I loved the soul searching questions that were asked! They left me shaking my head at the lies I have believed about prayer! Since the retreat, my prayer life has become my happy place! I am SO thankful that God brought me to the retreat! Just where I needed to be!" ~Samara Eve Kohnen, 25
