In this heartfelt and Spirit-led episode, Ashley welcomes returning guest Moria Rooney to share the God-breathed vision behind her new ministry, Holy Ground Retreats. A follow-up to Episode 21, this conversation continues Moria’s story of grief, healing, and purpose after the loss of her son, Noah. Moria opens up about her calling to step away from her first ministry, Mother of Wilde, and follow God into the unknown of hosting biblically based retreats for grieving moms. This powerful conversation will encourage you to pursue deep healing in the presence of Jesus, step into authentic community, and recognize the beauty of a Savior who meets us in our pain with abundant hope.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • The inspiration and surrender behind launching Holy Ground Retreats
  • How smaller, intimate gatherings create space for deep healing
  • Grieving in isolation vs. grieving in Christ-centered community
  • The importance of addressing unbiblical beliefs around suffering and loss
  • Worship, deliverance, rededications, and baptisms at the first Holy Ground retreat
  • A powerful God story of how the Lord provided a multimillion-dollar beach house
  • Why every grieving mom needs a safe space to encounter Jesus
  • Using your baby’s story to share the Gospel and build the Kingdom
