"Forgiveness as a way of life"
Life Together: One Day Women's Conference
February 24, 2024
Reality Ventura
Ventura, California
"I loved Rena's teaching today. I was at the retreat a couple of years ago, and enjoyed her teaching so much then, but this was like, version 2.0. I appreciate Rena's vulnerability and way of articulating what happens inside of her heart and mind so much. Everyone could relate. Well done."
- Lindsey
"Rena spoke so beautifully. God used her in a big way today. I loved seeing her sharing such a special gift with so many."
- Jacklyn
"Rena's message resonates deeply, not only because it's rooted in Biblical truth; but also because she empathizes with her listeners by acknowledging how difficult forgiveness can be. She also teaches how to practice true forgiveness from the heart as a 'way of life,' not just a one time event that leaves us tormented. She vulnerably shares her own life and models how she lives out forgiveness in a way that shifts my mindset and brings a new and fresh hope for freedom in all my relationships."
- Karen
"Rena was brilliant in her talk. Just fantastic and perfect! I found it to be so rich and full of important teachings. It was very accessible and relevant and applicable to EVERYONE- not just Christians. Rena did a fantastic job. She is doing what she is meant to do here on this earth."

With an eloquent tenacity she tackled the 'what' and 'how' of gospel grace, ushering us into precious personal experiential moments with our Saviour."
