3-01 Naming the Real: Sustaining Hope in Life's Storms

In the face of a sudden or ongoing storm in our life, how do we hold onto hope? Leaning on the tools of Ignatian Spirituality, we'll walk through a framework to name our storms, to see them with Christ, and to lean on Christ's companionship as we endure them. Hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Becky Eldredge, author, spiritual director, and founder of Ignatian Ministries, knows the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional stress of multiple hurricanes and other deep complexities of life and suffering. Together, we'll leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of what is ours to do and what is God's to do, and how to step forward in hope.

Becky is an Ignatian-trained spiritual director, retreat facilitator, and author of two award-winning books: "The Inner Chapel" (Loyola Press, April 2020) and "Busy Lives & Restless Souls" (Loyola Press, 2017). She is the founder of Ignatian Ministries, a ministry that offers spiritual direction, resources, and retreats (virtual and in-person) rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Passionate about Ignatian spirituality and teaching people how to pray and discern, Becky draws from over twenty years of ministry experience to help people make room for God in the busyness and invite them deeper in their walk with Christ. She holds an M.P.S. from Loyola University in New Orleans, a M.Ed. from Louisiana State University. You can learn more about her ministry at www.beckyeldredge.com
