Kind Words

“I have gone on several trips with Jess. She’s one of the most intentional people I know. It’s so evident that she loves the Father and He has given her a gift and love to see other women reawakened and at the same time share her love for adventure. What better way to be close to the Lord than in the beauty of His creation!

I was able to go on her very first trip as Stirring Embers Adventures and it was AMAZING! There are really no words except it was beautiful. Every aspect of the trip! It was full of meaningful and intentional conversation, prayer, laughter, tears, watching the Father bring together women in different seasons of life, vulnerability, PLUS beautiful scenery! Thank you Jess for a trip full of wonderful! “

“My first, but not last, Stirring Embers Adventure was more than I anticipated. Of the eight ladies, I knew two. As God willed, we all instantly bonded together. Three generations. We were there for the same purpose: to grow deeper in our personal walk with the Father, to draw together as sisters in Christ, and to have some fun adventures of hiking and kakaying.

 The food was delicious, the weather was perfect, the location was perfect, and our fearless, godly leader, Jess, was a God-send. Her love for the Father pours out of her. Our “adventure tribe” has already planned another gathering this month. Fortunately we are relatively close together and can do this. We are sharing prayer requests and supporting each other. What a blessing!!!!”

Wow! My adrenaline is still high from this weekend’s Stirring Embers Adventure. Like God, Jessica met me where I was. Because I’m a little older & limited physically (at this time), she pushed me to, but not beyond, my abilities. It was refreshing to be out on the trail with other women enjoying God’s creation. And then returning to the cabin to soak in spiritual encouragement as well.

Thank you, Jess, for providing this opportunity both physically and spiritually. Old friendships grew dearer, and new friendships developed quickly through open and honest conversations about the lies Satan tells us, and the truths that God speaks. 
I highly recommend signing up for an adventure to any woman in need of refreshing or desiring to grow closer to God.”

One of the things I loved about my Stirring Embers Adventure trip was how Jess created an environment of self-reflection, honesty, and acceptance amongst the group.

Our talks in the evenings were so special and encouraging. There was a chance to share and hear other women’s testimonies and be challenged by one another to keep moving forward in our faith.

The outdoor adventures of hiking and kayaking were highlights of the trip as well. The food was yummy, too! I left the weekend feeling more connected to God, others, and myself. I will definitely take another trip with Stirring Embers Adventures!”

“It was nice to get to hike mountains and swim in waterfalls but most of all it was a refresh for my soul from the world. Stirring embers adventures was the refresh that I needed. I got so much out of the experience. I asked for an open heart and I got just that. I've been so closed off from everything lately. Afraid of getting hurt.

But God won't hurt me. He is my friend, my healer, my savior, my fire that burns inside of me and so much more. In this adventure I was able to come out of my comfort zone so I could continue to growing journey with my relationship with God.”

I can't say enough about "Stirring Embers Adventures" I went on my second trip last weekend and I was truly amazed at how God brought just the right group of ladies together, once again! Having a safe place to share my heart is so meaningful to me!

Being outdoors brought me such joy! I was challenged and encouraged to seek connection with the Lord and with others! I will be going on another adventure! Thank you Jess for being obedient to God's calling, to bring women together to love and praise HIM”
