What You’ll Experience
A weekend built for you—real tools, real stories, real connection. From powerful keynotes and interactive sessions to campfire chats and live music, every moment is designed to strengthen your mental, emotional, and spiritual resilience.
This is Where the Shift Starts
It’s not a retreat. It’s a reset.
The Strength in Service Summit is a one-of-a-kind gathering for veterans, first responders, and the people who stand with them. Held on the grounds of Trinity Equestrian Center, it’s where real-life challenges meet honest conversations—and where healing, clarity, and connection begin.

OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Jessica Lynch, born in 1983 in West Virginia, dreamed of becoming a teacher—but after enlisting in the Army with her brother, her life took a dramatic turn. In 2003, her unit was ambushed in Iraq, and she was captured and seriously injured. A daring rescue nine days later brought her home, where she began a long recovery. Jessica later earned two degrees, acted in films, and now speaks nationwide about her experience—not as a hero, but as a survivor determined to honor the truth and the real heroes around her.
Watch to learn more about her journey and mission.
Why this Summit Matters
Gear Up for Real Life
Practical strategies for the stuff they don’t put on the job description—stress, trauma, and the weight that lingers long after the shift or tour ends.
Find Your People Again
This isn’t about small talk. It’s about finding others who get it—who’ve been through it, and aren’t afraid to stand beside you for what’s next.
Strength for Every Battle
Not every fight leaves a scar you can see. Build strength that holds—mind, body, heart, and soul.
Tools That Actually Work
No fluff. No empty slogans. Just proven strategies and shared experiences from those who’ve walked the road and made it through.
