We are THRILLED that we can partner with Christ and with one another to offer these scholarships to you. May God sovereignly hand them out just as He sees fit.

Hey All Charlotte Siestas! Wouldn’t it be great it we could somehow meet in town one day.
Contact me if anyone is interested in coffee next week!
Praying for Mama Beth and for all of us attending for our hair to be blown back by God’s precious Spirit!!!
Thank you LPM!!!!
Eternally Grateful,

I will be going thru Charlotte next week, but I won’t have time to stop. 🙁
With a few others heading to Greensboro for a few days.
Hope y’all had a blast at LPL!!
Hey Heather,
I wasn’t able to stop by the stage after the program, I hope you were able to connect with many Charlotte area siestas, though! My email is [email protected] if you are planning any future get-togethers! Blessings!
I’d love to get together. My email is [email protected]!
I’ve got to tell you about the pre-conference buzz…I’m here in Charlotte – and if you’re in the City Centre, the ladies are here waiting expectantly. Every small group of women you see is here to worship and hear Beth Moore’s message.
We are here from Canada too. Met some lovely folks all the from Manitoba!
This “Raleigh Girl” is coming too, and I’m bringing my daughter with me!
I live in the Greenville/Spartanburg area and I would so love to have been there, but mommyhood calls. …grin… I’ll be praying for Beth and Travis(and their teams!), all our sweet sietas who could make it, and for everyone involved behind the scenes that we don’t know about. May God be lifted up!
Kristi
Beth –
We in the Charlotte area are so excited that you are here to share with us your message! We have been waiting so long for this day! We have a group of 12 or so women from Davidson NC that have traveled over the years to see you. My husband calls us the Beth Moore Posse! We traveled to Columbia SC, Jacksonville FLA, , (a few to Boone- GOD’s country ) ,Richmond VA, now Charlotte- For our trip to VA our group grew to about 25 or so women. Some of the original 12 are not here at this time b/c of other commitments such as a Mission Trips or vacations-
So we are praying for you and your team of people and those that hear GOD speaking thru you! You have got such a gift and you are using it! Thanks for sharing your gift with us! GOD has changed so many lives thru you, for the better! ( I am one of those people that GOD spoke to thru you–especially in Columbia- You spoke or taught on James Chapter 1- Consider it a joy whenever you face trials of many kinds……
I had recently been diagnosed with MS- and other family issues–And that message in Columbia was exactly what I needed.
So tonight -When the waves are crashing on you- Stand firm and throw your head back and feel the wind of the spirit!
You rock Beth!! Bring it girl!!!
Is there any chance that Beth will be down in the San Antonio area any time this year? Love her studies as they seem to touch my heart and life unlike anything else. I am so grateful for the way she touches my life through God’s touching her’s.
Hi Joan, You can see Beth’s 2011 schedule on our website, but I do not see anything for the San Antonio area. Sorry! http://www.lproof.org
I’m wondering if Beth’s 2012 schedule has been set yet. Hoping she’ll return to So. Calif. as it sold out early when she was last here. Thanks 🙂
Lifeway will probably release the 2012 schedule here in the next few weeks. Check http://www.lifeway.com around August 1st.
Can I volunteer to be the City Coordinator for Charleston, SC next year?? I would LOVE to do this for LPL!
That is so sweet, Bonnie! You will need to talk with Lifeway as they coordinate all details for the Living Proof Live events. Their Event Department is at 1-800-254-2022.
July 15 post: Isaiah 61:10 NIV
I delight greatly in the LORD, my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Here @ charlotte. Would appreciate all prayers for my 8 year old great nephew, Ethan. He has neurofribromatosis. Had surgerythis spring on his neck. Now facing problems w/ a neuroma on his optic nerve and vision changes. He has appt Monday w/ oncologist to discuss starting chemo.

LPL Charlotte finished earlier today and I could just cry as I write to say Thank You Beth and team for faithfully bringing God’s word to us. It was truly awesome and I am so blessed. The message was powerful and the worship amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And besides that, you were just so darlin’ Beth! So very darlin’!
What a wonderful conference. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Beth, Travis and all the many who prayed and worked to give us this special time! I’m sad that it’s over but so glad I was able to be part of it.
Great conference. Thanks for all who worked hard to get this together! Very blessed and will continue to H.O.L.D. F.A.S.T.
Thanks, Beth for a wonderful weekend! I was so blessed to be there. I’m excited I even got to meet your friend Johnnie backstage at the group pic!
Wake Forest, NC
Just back from this event, was so sad that I had to leave early to come home to a sick little boy. It was absolutely amazing to be praising God with 9400 other women. Thank you for coming to Charlotte – it was awesome.
Beth,
What a BLESSING you are for us!!!! Thank you for reminding us to H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T God has set His love upon me!!!! This is a GREAT message for us to go forth with! It is just amazing to me how God affirms that we are on the right track with Him, we have been learning about “Sticky Church” at our church, and the study this weekend, just dove-tailed right in. My sister, my Mother (who had a stroke in March, and was able to be there, thanks to the healing power of God)had a wonderful time of worship and learning. Thank you for taking the time the seek the word/s that God has for all us, and thank you for living the example that God would have us all to be. We love you Sister, and will continue to pray for you and for those that God places in your/our path.

Loved the conference in Charlotte…thanks to God for the message He gave Beth…thanks to Beth for being God’s mouth…and to Travis for the beautiful music. Will the Commissioning statement be published that we prayed over each other be available in print…it was beautiful and I would love to have a copy. What a blessed weekend we had in Charlotte, NC!
YES! We have been scouring the web for that in print as well. Four of us went together and spoke those words to each other through tears! We’d love to have a copy to remember our time together!
Hi Karen, I have forwarded your request for the Commission to our Resource Department. Thanks!
I would also love a copy of the commission, that was very special!
It will not post on the Blog, but I will forward your request to the Resource department. ([email protected])
Hi Vickie, So happy to know that the Lord spoke to you in Charlotte! I will forward your request for the Commission to our Resource department.
Yes…PLEASE post the Commission. She typically does. Thanks!!!
I will forward your request for the Charlotte commission to the Resource department. We no longer post it online.
The Charlotte conference was a special blessing in my life and oh-so-timely! God knows the needs of His children and fills them so abundantly! I would love a copy of the commission statement as well…to have a copy of that in my Bible and to give one to my girlfriend who was there with me, would be a special remembrance. Thank you, KMac, for passing these requests along!
You got it!
What a blessing this conference was! All I can say is
H.O.L.D. F.A.S.T. God has set His love upon me.
Amen Rhonda!
I am so blessed to have been apart of this amazing weekend!! Thanks to all the city planners, to Travis, the praise team and to our Siesta Momma!! Already looking forward to next year in Charleston!!
I attended the Charlotte event yesterday and today. It was just awesome. I have done several Beth Moore Bible studies and she is just so great. She speaks (live and on video)like she is talking to her best friend!! I love it!
What a special lady.

HOLD FAST! God has set his love on me. I didn’t head towards the right hand side of the stage afterwards, but headed off towards the Apple Store to wait about 1 hour and 1/2 for someone to show me how to convert MP4 audio to MP3. There is a reason for that, you see. While I was in Haiti, I met Ezechial who listened to my iPod for three days straight (I had to keep recharging it), especially the music from Passion 2011. So I purchased a MP3 player for him and tried to download my music on it for him. Now after hours of converting, deleting and downloading, I am finished, and it will be be dropped off tomorrow at church for the next team going to Haiti.
Went with Girlfiend named Robin Stone to Charlotte and got my spirit renewed. I am a minister’s wife and serving with my husband in the ministry has left me struggling…or maybe seaking for nourishment for a while. Satan must have known because he put many obsticales in the way so Robin and I might not bea able to attend. at first after the purchase of the conference tickets a hotel was not available. Then Robin had famliy issues come up last week and I have had finanical issues. However God prevailed!!! Robin and I came away from the conference today with a wonderful feeling and we both had “Victory in Jesus” floating around in our heads on the way back home. Thank you God for allowing Robin and I to make it to Charlotte. I now plan to H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T.for I know God has set His LOVE upon me!!!!!!!
Jamie, Houston , TX May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 NIV
You were on my mind this morning! May your joy be full and overflowing today! I know Charlotte was awesome.
Keep shining!
What an awesome conference. Than you Beth and the entire praise team. We had 45 in our group from Myrtle Beach and a special sister visiting from Rome. We were blessed with you message. Looking forward to Charlestom. You bless us everyday with your word
You were great in Charlotte. I hope you come back to Raleigh or North Carolina soon. I loved getting my picture made with you. I am the one in the first picture sitting two people down from you on the floor with the blond hair and ponytail. Ugly huh. I wish the powerpoints had been up longer, I missed alot getting down what they had to say.
Talk to you soon my dear Siesta.
Love you
Donna Hopkins
Beth, your love for Jesus is so contagious so much so that this Charlotte weekend He became my first love again. Thank you for being the servant to relay God’s message of LOVE and HOLD FAST this weekend in Charlotte. I am recharged!!
happy birthday to me!!! my hubby got me two tickets to living proof live in baltimore, md sept 30th-oct1st. my mom and i are coming to see our siesta mamma live!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh 🙂 SO excited!!!
The conference in Charlotte was unbelievable! I was asked 3x’s to go and had to say no due to financial reasons. Then a friend said she would pay for my ticket–I knew then that the Lord had a word for me. And it was HOLD FAST. You cannot imagine what this means in my life and the timing of it. My husband and I have gotten out of the testing time the Lord had for us, but we have not yet entered into our Promised Land–the destiny the Lord has for him especially. We literally are in the “inbetween” time. This has been about 4yrs and is becoming tiresome. The dissappointments have added up and I desperately needed that word. I KNOW our Lord is faithful and will fulfill His promises to us, but it is so hard waiting. I am SO thankful for the word directly from the Lord to me through Beth Moore: HOLD FAST! And that is what we will do. THank you so very much Beth for seeking Him and blessing me!
Thank you Beth for so prayerfully preparing a message for us in Charlotte. I was diagnosed Thursday night before the show with recurrent thyroid cancer and your message really touched me! I know God has set his love upon me. When I returned home my eight year old little girl Ella wanted know what you talked to us about. I told her you told us God wanted us to H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T. God has set us love upon us. You would have been sooooo proud of her because when she came downstairs a few minutes later she had taped a sign to her shirt saying “God Roks!” and then she did a cheer to HOLDFAST! You would have loved it! I video taped it and would love to send it to you, but not sure how to. I have been so encouraged to dive back into the word and RESUME.!! I know that God has me in his air tight embrace! Thank you again! All my love, Caroline.
So sweet to hear your sweet Ella join the word you received this weekend! You can send the cheer video to [email protected].
Caroline,
Just wanted you to know that I have been praying for you this morning. I am going to be starting chemo next week for breast cancer. I will keep you in my prayers.
Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
good afternoon Beth and wonderful team
any chance of a visit to Africa soon ? specifically Cape Town …. pleeeez 🙂
The Lord truly blessed at this conference. What a wonderful experience! Beth you brought such a great message with HOLD FAST. Now maybe more than ever we all need to hear this. Travis and the praise team did a marvelous job with the praise and worship. I came away so full and I am so blessed to have been able to attend. I had to reign myself in to keep from preaching to my Sunday School class Sunday morning! I love you all in the Lord!! Thanks so much for allowing God to use you.
Get up & resume! This was my timely word. I experienced a loss a few weeks ago and God gently told me, you’ve pressed pause to grieve and be mad, now it’s time to get up and resume your walk with Me.
Thank you Mama for your infectious love for Him and His Word. Have a wonderful day!
THANK YOU LPROOF!! Awesome work this past weekend. I got what I needed to hear in the first 20 minutes. I would also would like a copy of the commissiom too!! I was very thankful for my scholarship ticket. That alone made me feel special, hand picked to attend. I was one of the “Raleigh girls” ,September 2005, who went to the Stepping Up(Psalm of Ascent) conference which was a special calling too!
Thank you
Cynthia ,
AYNOR,little town near Myrtle Beach,SC HOLDING FAST!!
We are thrilled that you were able to go Cynthia! I have forwarded your Commission request to our Resource Department.
KMac – I would also be thrilled to get a copy of the commissioning statement. It was a blessing to get to speak these words over my daughter!
Thanks!
Adrienne
Oh that’s wonderful she could join you! Will forward your request…
Jeremiah 1:12 ESV : Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.
Dear Beth,
I cannot begin to tell you what an impact your message has already had…not just on me personally but on three others in my small (125 worshippers on a given Sunday) church. As a taste of what the Holy Spirit was up to:although we came separately and unbeknownst (is
That a word?) to each other, I literally ran into one church friend both days. For two to find each other in a crowd of 9400…only God could make it happen!
I will detail the specifics in a note with my conference evaluation.
Blessings and peace to you, Travis, and the while LPL staff.
Would your team ever consider having a conference in Dubuque, Iowa?

Incredible work God did this weekened in Charlotte. I was blessed to have my 18 yo daughter along and we did the commissioning, tears & all, together. Please post it on the blog so we can have a copy!
I am so thankful I was able to attend the Charlotte conference! It was my first time seeing Beth live and it was such a blessing! Could I please get a copy of the commissioning? Also, I didn’t get one of the cards with the info about the pictures, could that be emailed to me also?
Thank you!!
Hey Tammy, I’ll forward your request to Resources. Also, here is the link for the Siesta Event photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lplsiesta
Thanks so much for posting the link to the photo—I did know the website either!
I just returned from your conference in Charlotte and wanted to share my experience with you. I would like to start with letting you know I am a stay at home mom to two great kids and have been happily married for sixteen years. I have always had faith and a belief in God, but can say that I have not experienced a deep personal relationship with Him. Due to special circumstances with my children I have felt defeated and frustrated for many years and have been searching for something more.
My dear friend Shelly, who is a faithful follower of Christ, asked me to attend your conference with her. I decided to go because I knew in my heart that I needed things to change in my life and this could be the start. I was not sure what to expect and was eager and a little hesitant, At the beginning of Friday’s session you said something that struck me to the core…”This cannot be where I am going”. It was as if you were speaking directly to me. Those words described how I have been feeling fro way too long. Then you continued with more words that impacted me….GO, UP, RESUME, RESTART. I have been looking for my restart button.
During the closing music on Saturday I was feeling hopeful, but still unsure. I looked around at the faces in the crowd and saw something that I did not recognize in myself. As I thought of what that was, one word came to mind…GLORY and I decided then I wanted THAT!!
On the ride back I asked Shelly how she got to where she is with Christ. She explained that it takes time, faith and an open heart. She said that she has prayed for me to have Him in my life because He brings so much happiness. I continued to question how and when you know. She told me there will be signs along the way to lead me.
That evening as I was driving in my car I got what I consider to be my first significant sign (aside from the words I received from you). I was listening to a Shawn McDonald cd when track three came on titled “Hold On”. As I took this in I couldn’t help but reflect on your message…HOLDFAST God has set his love upon me.
Your words have blessed many lives, but I thought you would want to know that they just changed mine. They will be the beginning of my journey to a deeper relationship with God. I am nervous and excited to open my heart, but ready to embrace it. I now have my own words in search of MY GLORY…RESTART and HOLD ON.
Thank you for this blessing!
Had such a wonderful time in Charlotte! Was wondering how to get the commissioning statement? Told our friends it would be on the blog but just saw that y’all no longer post it! Thanks so much!
No problem, Jen. If you will write to support at lproof dot org they can send you a copy. Blessings!
Will the words to the blessing Beth prayed and we prayed over each other be published some where for us? I would love those words. Thanks. xo
You are welcome to request the Commission from our Resource department at support at lproof dot org. Blessings!
Hey Beth…I miss you…hope the final wrap for James is going well. Praying for you
This was a most extrodinary week-end. Wonderful worship and the message was just what I needed. I found out on Monday that my grandson and his wife (they are expecting) and the baby has hyproplastic left heart syndrome. This means that the left side of his heart is not developing as it should. He will have to have surgery as soon as he is born and 2 or 3 more surgerys by the time he is 5. I am HOLDING FAST to the Lord. I know that he will get all of us through this unexpected trial. Pray for Buddy and Malory and the grandparents and all our family.
I too was at Charlotte last weekend. My darling husband gave me the tickets a few months ago and offered to go with me. You have to admire a man that will brave 9400 women and 1 bathroom. He is an example of true love. I was touched to core at the end when the muscians left the stage and we were still singing. I got a little glimpse of heaven. I got so much out of the conference and am determined that I will HOLD FAST to Jesus. Still processing and looking through my notes and looking forward to next year. Just hope I will have a friend to go with me.
