Facilitators
Beth Prewitt
Beth loves helping people learn how to abide in the love of God and trust Him to produce fruit in their lives. She holds a Bible degree from Lipscomb University and a Master of Theological Studies in Christian Leadership from Gordon‑Conwell Theological Seminary, and she has served in youth ministry as well as taught high school Bible.
Even with that background, the past 18 years of being a mom to three kids have shaped her spiritual life more deeply than anything else. Motherhood became the place where her faith was stretched, refined, and strengthened, and it continues to be the training ground where she learns to depend on God in practical, everyday ways.
Beth hopes to encourage others to abide in God’s love in whatever season they find themselves — whether it’s full of joy, uncertainty, exhaustion, or growth. Her desire is to help people experience God’s presence in the ordinary rhythms of life and to trust Him to do the transforming work.

Sandy Smith
Sandy Smith is a ministry leader and pastor’s wife who resides with her family in Michigan. She enjoys coordinating the pediatric volunteers, many of them college students, at the University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, and she regularly shares her family’s cancer story with 2nd-year medical students. She has edited and/or contributed to three books on topics related to pediatric cancer and palliative care. Sandy has published in Pediatric Blood and Cancer and presented on the topic of brain tumor tissue donation with a team from Oregon Health & Science University. She coordinated the 2014 Pediatric Cancer Nanocourse in conjunction with the Monje Lab at Stanford. She has a bachelor’s in early childhood education and began learning about trauma, as a foster parent, in 2017.
Through Sandy’s interest in attachment theory, God led her to a journey of personal healing she didn’t realize she needed.

She is fascinated by anything related to neuroscience, she enjoys reading, writing, and languages, and she loves the ocean.
