Speaking
Have Laura DiLeonardi speak at your next women’s event!
Are you or your Women’s Ministry Team looking to host a retreat that dives deep into scripture and has all the details curated for you so you can focus on building relationships with the women in your church? If so, I would love to tell you or your church leader more about the As You Go Retreat Package.
After graduating from Moody Bible Institute and spending nearly 2 decades in ministry, I know what womens 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 vs. entertaining them.
I have a burden for women 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 influence 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!

“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.

Preview Laura’S TEACHING ON THE Agape Moms Blog
Each week at Agape Moms, come hear a story of how the gospel is transforming our lives! Laura DiLeonardi kicked off the semester by sharing about how God is helping her overcome her struggle with control and anxiety.
“One of the ways I often forget the gospel is by striving in my own strength, which leads to anxiety. At the root of our anxiety is a trust in ourselves instead of God….
Romans 8:28 says that God promises to work everything out for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose. Psalm 139 tells us how God makes us and that we cannot add or take away one day from our book of life which Christ has already written for us. These truths melt anxiety away from the inside out as we release our grip and surrender everything to our Maker.
The deeper God’s truths penetrate my heart, the more I see gospel-fruit in my life. While I still struggle, I find victory when I repent of my self-reliance and continually shift my trust to Christ alone.
Anxiety is a common mom struggle, and we want you to “bring your mess” to Agape Moms, but we promise not to leave you in it or let it define who you are. We won’t justify anxiety as “just another mom-struggle” or just a mental health issue, while there is a place for medical help here, anxiety is also a spiritual issue and the ultimate remedy is in Christ."
