You’re getting a lot of things right:
You’re reading scripture
You're praying
And you're staying engaged in church
But… you still feel the strain when life doesn’t align with what you know to be true.
Maybe right now you…
Feel the strain of unanswered prayers and unsettling Scripture passages
Sense that your life should just be easier and your faith should be steadier than it is
Doubt God’s goodness in the face of an unjust and confusing world
See that your life is not what you expected and disappointment has crept in
Don’t see a solution for what life has handed you and there’s no rest in sight
this summit will help you connect with God’s Goodness, even in your doubts, struggles and disappointments.
You long to live with rooted trust that shapes how you face suffering, disappointment, and uncertainty
How would it feel to…
Trust God deeply without forcing yourself to feel certain
Know God delights in you even in difficult seasons
Let go of the fear that struggle means you’re failing spiritually
That’s the kind of shift this summit is designed to create.
meet your host
Howdy! I’m Sarah Howley. I’m an author, speaker, trained Christian counselor, and founder of InspiritEncourage.
My own faith has been strengthened by doubt, and that has made me passionate about helping people grow in a deeper relationship with Christ while navigating the very real tensions of life, faith, and Scripture.
The goal of my work is create a space where everyone in the body of Christ is encouraged to ask honest questions while discovering the great love of God and his trustworthiness.
And just so you know a little about me as a human… if it’s before 2pm, there’s almost always a shot of espresso in my hand.

This isn’t a motivational Christian event or a tidy biblical conference.
It is a thoughtful, Scripture-rooted inquiry into the goodness and faithfulness of God — designed for believers who are living inside real tension and want a deeper confidence in God’s goodness that quiets self-doubt and steadies trust in the middle of life’s mess.
We don’t avoid the difficult texts. We don’t rush toward neat conclusions. We refuse to treat hardship or doubt as evidence of spiritual failure. We trace God’s goodness carefully through the whole story of Scripture — Old and New Testament — and create intentional space to reflect, wrestle, and remain.
Through thoughtful teaching, guided prayer focused on God’s character, and honest conversation in a private community, this gathering moves beyond content consumption. It invites formation.
We believe exploring the goodness of God happens best in a community that reflects the breadth of the body of Christ. This summit intentionally welcomes speakers and participants from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and faith journeys. Some aspects of our lives and experiences are visible, while others are not — and we are committed to honoring both with equal dignity.
This is not about making sense of everything
about the Bible or about God.
It’s about living steadier and feeling less burdened
by spiritual pressure and more anchored in
the goodness of God.
You’re ready to live with faith that feels steady instead of strained.
It’s time to stop managing tension alone and finally build confidence in God’s goodness that carries into everyday life and faith.
