In this world you will have troubles…Wow, don’t you just love these words of reassurance? But linked with this realistic description of life is our hope: “Take heart, for I have overcome the world.” Sure, this is great news, but how do we link that truth to our own devastating experiences in order to somehow find God’s unchanging purpose? During this workshop Patty will uncover the truths that create ministry from our misery! Patty Moreno enjoys the profound joys and crazy challenges that come with the territory of being married for 25 years and mothering four teenage children. Her family breathes wind into her sails (and gives her a lot of material for messages!) as she ministers throughout the United States and abroad in church, retreat, and conference settings. Patty’s life is an epistle of God’s unfailing grace through devastating storms; and with that grace, she boldly ministers to those navigating through various degrees of pain and doubt. With refreshing humor mixed with profound depth, she engages the heart of every listener to embrace the hope and purpose Christ can bring beyond the ash heaps of suffering we often face.
