Jodi Hickerson

Jodi serves as Teaching Pastor and Programming Director at Mission Church in Ventura, CA.

She is passionate about serving the church alongside her husband Mike and time spent with her family. Jodi ministers and speaks at churches and conferences throughout the country and we couldn’t be happier that she was able to join us for a 2nd time at Refresh: Retreat.

Stefanie Boyce

Coach, Spiritual Director, Mind - Body Coach and Wellness Counselor

Stefanie loves working with people who are in seasons of discovery and transition. People who want rest, but rest feels foreign. People who are feeling a bit stuck or are asking, is there more? People wondering where they belong and if their insides and outsides will ever match. People who want expansion and growth within their framework of faith.

She also loves questions that don’t have easy answers, holding space with people in seasons of grief and loss, people curious about their spiritual life, and leaders looking to create sustainable rhythms of life as their influence and demands shift.

Through Stefanie’s life experiences a passion to hold space for others to get curious, dig deep, and live well has emerged. We’re honored to have her for a third time at Refresh: Retreat.
