I LOVED the journal and have used it ever since! Also, I loved the way you shared the verses with us so that we could look them up later! Great idea!
This retreat was wonderful for all ages. You spoke to young parents, singles and senior citizens. You did a wonderful job touching all bases. My prayers are with you as you continue this wonderful ministry.
I am encouraged by Debi and Fawn's enthusiasm for God's Word and of course enjoyed both of their storytelling abilities.
God used this retreat to jumpstart renewal in my walk with Him.
Of course I loved it! :-) Reaching nearly my 25th year as a Christian I really appreciated the infusion of truth that I received. I felt a like a very good friend was saying all the things I needed to hear and was encouraging me to again do the right thing!!
My faith journal is kept with my Bible and I have referred to it several times. Because of this retreat, I am more excited about my faith.
It was wonderful to be in an intimate setting with women who love the Lord. VERY ENCOURAGING!
The illustrations were excellent, memorable and easy to remember and apply.
I overheard one woman in the hallway: "The only problem with Debi and Fawn speaking is that you can't go to the bathroom for fear of missing something."
The story of Two Clay Pots™ and their first event for women
Years before Debi Stack and Fawn Brents came together to present their first retreat, they shared life over long cups of coffee. Writing and speaking was the natural next step for two women who know firsthand that the only way to make it through life is with God’s word and a good friend.
“Fawn and I sat at a restaurant and talked about Christian platitudes like ‘Just trust the Lord’ or ‘Let go, let God ’ or ‘Keep the faith,’” says Debi, a humorist, author, national speaker and media guest. “Honestly, hearing those makes us a little crazy because even when they’re said with good intentions, they don’t equip women with the nitty-gritty specifics of how to trust the Lord; how to let go; how to keep the faith.”
"We took a fresh look at familiar passages from Scripture and reduced ‘faith’ to its least common denominator,” says Fawn, creator of the Blueprints of Truth™ series, popular Bible teacher and speaker. “We asked ourselves, 'What do we know for sure?' Out of that emerged new ways to illustrate how faith can be walked out in every circumstance and season of life."
The chemistry that Debi and Fawn enjoyed while preparing and presenting the Keep a Smile On Your Faith™ retreat confirmed the need to form an official partnership. They met at a coffee shop to discuss business details and think of a name. Remembering 2 Corinthians 4:7 (“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us”) the choice was clear: Two Clay Pots™.
