“It has been my pleasure to know Elaine and Bill for over ten years. I first met Elaine running a women’s workshop and I have been following her around since. I trust the integrity they have and have personally seen their work in action.”

“Lion’s Roar is the real deal. Each experience has been truly transformative. Elaine has an incredible ability to see people, draw them into authentic community, and facilitate conversations that matter. Whatever retreat or group you’re considering, just go. You won’t regret it.”

“Elaine has a rare gift for truly seeing people. She creates space where connection happens naturally and conversation goes deep. Whether you’re in a season of growth or walking through something hard, she has a beautiful way of gently pointing you toward truth when you need it most. I can’t recommend Lion’s Roar enough.”

“Traveling with Bill and Elaine has been a deep breath of fresh air. Elaine’s care and Bill’s laugh combined to unlock a new love of travel within me. Who would have thought travel doesn’t have to be stressful — rather peaceful, connecting, and rejuvenating.”

“I laughed so hard so many times; that was the trip…”

“The conversation last week about the verse, ‘I believe, Lord, help me with my unbelief’ was my prayer this week… I needed something so simple.”

“It is rare for me to attend an event and just… be. We arrived at the airport to find a welcome gift, all details handled, and clear leadership so we could just enjoy. The others we went with were not people we knew — but it didn’t take long to build a bond. The meals, the activities, the conversation were all intentional to build a community. Snowmobiling, sledding, dog sledding, and a hay ride with a meal and show. We are excited to join this group again for more adventures!”

“This is my favorite moment from all of our trips, I kept saying I’ve got longer arms and the kids kept pulling in.”

“Uganda broke my heart and put it back together right. I didn’t go to serve. I went to say yes. I came back knowing exactly what I’m built for. That trip answered a question I’d been carrying for a decade.”
