“Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed. If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” (Esther 4:13-14 NLT)

Where does the Bible say that older women should teach younger girls?

(Titus 2:4-8 NLT) These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, and to do good.

Connection with Moms and Daughters to Strengthen Their Testimonies

Beauty Instead of Ashes

The Resilient Brave Hearts Conference is the weekend before school begins and a great time for moms and daughters to connect with each other, their peers, and older women and find happiness and beauty instead of ashes through the chaos in life and come away feeling closer than before. Having the conference before school will jump-start them for a fabulous new semester in school. How can we expect girls to love others if they don’t know how to love themselves? How can they love themselves if they don’t love God? This conference will help to inspire girls and women with courage and confidence to reach their potential in Christ and find lasting happiness. The speakers will address topics that are vital to good relationships and drawing close to God.

– A groundbreaking conference that helps mothers, daughters, peers, and friends connect in a new way

– Come feel seen and heard by your mom, peers, and other women

About the Event

OVERVIEW
About the Conference
Who This is for
The Benefits
What does it mean to be prepared “For Such a Time as This”?

Just like Queen Esther, women have been given opportunities to influence our time – be it a job, position, resources, or education.  You were put where you are right now for a reason – and we need the courage and wisdom to see that reason and to walk in it.

“For Such a Time as This” involves so much more than one pivotal moment – every valley, trial, and triumph has been preparing you to have the courage and wisdom you need for these days.

Learn from extraordinary women as they share how they recognized and said “yes” to their calling – and are now living their personal Esther stories as they fight on the frontlines of the battlefield.

You will leave activated, loved on, supported, and given tools to step out and BE the Esther you were created to be.

Experience worship, and powerful inspired teaching.
Enjoy a time to reflect on who you were created to be.
Gain practical and in-depth insight from many experts from around the country.

Conference at the Branson Event Center at The Shoppes at Branson Meadows 4230 Gretna Road, Branson, MO 65616.

This can be rough territory – to be a woman, to be a Mentor, a Teacher, and to want to bring Hope. Health. Healing. to the culture. Come together and realize you are “Wanted” by a King who wants you to Arise and able to be courageous and fearless Resilient Brave Hearted “Queen Esthers”!
Find out who you were made to be and what is in store for you.
Hear speakers share their personal journey that brought them here for such a time as this – who have walked the journey and can be your guide.

Jill is a passionate advocate of mental health and wellness. She has years of experience in event planning and has decided to use her skills towards creating her own boutique company, Brave Hearts Workshops. As a clinician, I love doing workshops and retreats, but do not enjoy doing the planning outside of the clinical content. This is where Jill’s skills set is so unbelievably valuable. Partnering will Brave Hearts allows me to do what I love and do best and allows Jill to do the same. If you have a strong following but need support with event site planning, food, etc. I recommend partnering with Brave Hearts.

Both Brave Heart Workshops I attended were great experiences for me, opening a door to some issues from my past I was unaware of before. It was challenging, but one of the most enlightening opportunities of my life! I discovered the root of my trauma and was able to take home what I learned in the workshop and fully heal, conquer my fears, and confront major obstacles in my life. I learned about my strength, my desires, my needs, and my true authentic self. I am now a social worker and therapist practicing from a place of solidarity, clarity, and a grounded foundation. I found my voice and my freedom. I feel so blessed, grateful, inspired, and hopeful that others can do the same through Jill’s workshops. Dorothy Y Professional Therapist

When Jill first encouraged me to attend a Brave Heart retreat my automatic response was that of anxiety and the belief this concept was not in the parameters of my comfort zone. As I witnessed Jill‘s passion and anticipation of the upcoming retreat and more information was presented I reconsidered. Maybe that is what I must do- step outside the parameters of my comfort zone. I began to feel that was exactly what I needed to do in order to pursue a different avenue of healing trauma - one I hadn’t explored before- drama therapy. The idea of getting up in front of a group of people and working through my issues was frightening at first. Immediately there was a camaraderie with the other women. I felt completely safe and comfortable to share parts of my story. I was so moved with the kindness, compassion, and support that my inhibition dissipated being in such accepting environment. I had a sense of belonging and felt a freedom to open up in ways I have never imagined before. The atmosphere was so comfortable relaxed and welcoming. I felt such a privilege to have Dr. Laura Wood as facilitator. Both Dr. Wood and Jill are gifted communicators with extraordinary level of compassion and intuitive caring that provided me a process to move toward healing while also feeling safe. That experience was profound for me. The next year there was no hesitation to sign up. I was excited about continuing unraveling the the layers of trauma. Being at the retreat enabled me to take my health and wellness to a higher level and equip me to empower myself to make some powerful changes in my life. I totally endorse the professional and integrity of Jill Reynolds. With her depth of concern and care for others wellness she brings a high level of experience to succeed in the event she plans.

A Business Partner going the extra mile. Since our first meeting I have become a big fan of Jill and recognize her as a superior business partner. Yes the products and functionality she sold us where good but Jill herself was the reason we did business with her firm. Jill listened to our needs and limitations, interviewed our user base to gain perspective (her idea), provided data and ideas in preparation of the ROI for the business case, and personally organized and was on hand for the deployment. Throughout the lifecycle of the service she remained involved, ensured our account was serviced, resolved billing issues, and at one point identified refinance opportunities that reduced our costs. When Jill arrived for a meeting I was always impressed by how well prepared she was and in reflection, although she worked for someone else, she had become a member of my team and I believed she worked in the best interest of us the customer. It is always a pleasure to have Jill in our office. Ken Plat Chief Technology Officer 2009

Last July, I had the pleasure of attending one of the Brave Heart Workshop retreats held in Nashville, Tennessee. The organizer was Jill Reynolds. The facilitator was Dr. Laura Wood. It was a great experience. I got to experience Drama Therapy. It was an unforgettable experience, truly. Not only did I get a chance to visit Nashville, the city of music, but also, and more importantly, I got to experience Drama Therapy and heal my childhood traumas. Jill was super responsible and caring. She helped to arrange hotels, flights, transportation, meals and took us to concerts. She had an eye to discover talents. Because Dr. Wood was one of the most intuitive and skilled therapists as I discovered over the course of the weekend. The healing work was transformative and fun at the same time. The combination of performance and healing really made it much less intimidating and more spontaneous. I truly enjoyed the workshop and recommends it to anyone who has an interest in personal healing or psychology in general.   Ada W From China an exchange Student with Masters Degree in Therapy
