Women's Conference

— OUR THEME

Trading ashes for crowns

Do you ever feel you aren’t good enough? Do your emotions control you, rather than you control your emotions? Do you ask yourself why you keep doing the very things you don’t want to do? Do you look at other women and exclaim, “She has the perfect life. Perfect husband. Perfect children. Perfect job. Perfect House. What do I have? A STRUGGLE EVERY. DAY.”

Susie Lewis, author of The Great Trade, seemed to have the perfect life. Married to a pastor, she and her loving, devoted husband, David, pastored a church, established a home, and had 5 children. Everything looked perfect on the outside; yet, her emotional and spiritual life was crumbling, turning her life into ashes. Reaching a breaking point, she searched God and was transformed from guilt, shame, and fear to a life filled with emotional healing and Godly joy. Susie will be the first to tell you she is not perfect and relies on God daily to continue his healing and guidance.

As a Christian speaker and author, Susie loves to encourage and equip women to go from wandering in life to wondering in God. Her goal is to motivate each woman to live a life of joy and freedom that is found by breaking free from the bondage of the past. Susie loves to teach, and she loves to laugh. Utilizing her ever-growing understanding of God’s Word, she teaches with passion, integrity, and shares a lot of laughter and smiles all the while.

Are you ready to trade your ashes for a crown? Register today to hear Susie’s story and discover how she found the real key to spiritual transformation. God is ready to empower you to lead a life full of His wonderful joy.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Psalm: 103:2-4

SPEAKER

Susie Lewis

I see my own life in the Scripture found in Isaiah 61:1-3. Jesus, the Anointed One, has brought me out of bondage, healed my broken heart, and I have made the great trade! I traded in my ashes, and He has given me victory over my past. My husband and I currently reside in Pace, FL and have been married for over 40 years and we have a beautiful relationship with each of our five children, their spouses and 13 grands. I love to share my story, because it is about what God has done. To God be the glory!
