Speaking
invite Laura DiLeonardi to speak at your next event!
Is your Women’s Ministry or Youth Group looking to host a retreat or conference that dives deep into Scripture and has all the details taken care of for you so you can focus on building relationships? If so, I would love to tell you about my retreat packages, workshop offerings or curated teaching sessions just for you!
After graduating from Moody Bible Institute in 2008 and spending nearly 2 decades in ministry, I know what leaders are looking for and how difficult it is to find female teachers who are faithful to the Word and who want to come alongside churches in discipling women verses entertaining them. This is one reason I began seminary at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in 2025 to further equip me as a Bible teacher.
I have a burden for women of all ages to grow in their love for Christ and passion to live their lives for the glory of God within the unique roles and gifts God has given them.
The culture is constantly throwing lies at us about who woman are and what we are created to be, and if we don’t push back with God’s design, women will cave to the empty promises of our day. There’s so much at stake because women are shaping the next generation.
I see the gap and so I’m stepping up to meet the need. I would love to talk with you more about my heart for the gospel to shape womanhood, and the opportunity to come speak to your women!

Run Your race retreat
Run Your Race is a high impact weekend retreat where we dive deep into the Word, worship and team build by competing for the “Stanley Cup Trophy” in the Camp Theology Games! “Run Your Race” is based off of Hebrews 12:1-3. In two main teaching sessions, you walk verse by verse through Scripture, be inspired by the cloud of female witnesses in the line of Christ, and learn how to throw off everything that hinders our race as women. Laura can also recommend workshops and labs to be taught by women of your church, or that she can offer in addition to the two main sessions.

“As You Go”
Retreat Package
In addition to the sessions that are gospel rich and dive deep into scripture, Laura also provides the workbook content, small group questions, help with planning, suggested activities, as well as the option to use a trusted shop to print As You Go shirts which complete your retreat experience! The benefit to booking the As You Go Retreat is that you don't have to worry about quality content, and most of the planning has been done for you, so you can focus on building relationships with the women of your church.
AS YOU GO RETREAT CONTENT
We will dive into the Word to discover what it looks like to live for Jesus as we go, in every season! We'll be invited to see our lives not as our story, but God’s story, where Jesus is the hero, not us. We all have unique stories, but the same purpose, so we begin the weekend by laying the foundation with our 5 core purposes. The Greek word “go” in the Great Commission is in a tense that does not just mean to go far, but also, “as you go.” This changes everything about how we live out our core purpose. We don’t have to wait for the perfect season, instead we can live for Christ “as we go” right now in the spaces he’s already placed us.
Next, we will build upon this with a study of John 15 and what it looks like to abide throughout different spiritual seasons, embracing the purpose God has for each one. In the final session, we'll unpack Jeremiah’s calling and how we too were made on purpose for a purpose. Just like Jeremiah, our insecurities and relying on ourselves instead of God often keep us from confidently living out the unique things God prepared in advance for us to do.
