About Katie:
Katie Heckel, from Oxford, MS, has spent her life walking alongside others in their journeys of faith. She served for more than a decade in campus ministry before stepping into counseling, where she now creates space for people to experience support, growth, and hope. Along the way, Katie has also led worship, written songs, and helped create RafikiFriends, an organization that partners with an orphanage in Ghana. She loves creativity, time outdoors, and life’s simple joys with family, friends, and her dachshund, Annie. She is especially excited to worship alongside the women of this retreat and to rest in the truth of God’s delight.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
