Why fairytales?

Why fairytales?

When you’re immersed in a story, your whole brain engages. Jesus used stories to teach truth, and we were made to respond to them. Over two days at the Ever After Encounter, women journey through:

  • Rediscovering their identity in Christ

  • Breaking free from performance-driven faith

  • Processing pain through the safety of story

  • Reclaiming the wonder, intimacy, and healing that only Jesus can bring
