While her strengths don’t lie in numbers and spreadsheets\, she discovered that God met her right in the middle of her financial chaos and not only brought life to her money situation\, but transformed her from the inside out. \nTurns out\, God is in the work\, the fun\, and the rest. While many neglect rest as an outdated religious ritual\, Linda has found it to be one of God’s gracious invitations—rest while He takes care of all the things. For the past 13 years\, she and her husband Bob have practiced a yearly month-long sabbatical\, a rhythm that has deepened their trust in God and reminded them that He is the one who carries the work forward. \nLinda is passionate about Jesus and simply wants to know Him more. She lives in Franklin\, Tennessee with her husband Bob and their three children. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference Overview\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 24-26\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Guest Speaker: Linda Lotich\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Beautiful Annapolis\, MD\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday\n \n \n \n \n \n 4:00 PM – Check-In5:00 PM – Welcome Dinner6:30 PM – Session 17:30 PM – Breakouts \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Friday\n \n \n \n \n \n 8:00 AM – Breakfast9:00 AM – Group Devotional10:00 AM – Breakout Sessions11:00 AM – Break12:00 PM – Lunch in Downtown Annapolis1:00–5:00 PM – Free Time5:00 PM – Dinner6:30 PM – Session Three7:30 PM – Breakout Conversations \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\n \n \n \n \n \n 8:00 AM – Breakfast9:00 AM – Session 411:00 AM – Check Out \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BCM/D Pastors' Wives Conference\n \n \n \n \n \n Rested.
