RU is an annual women's gathering where we enter into a holy conversation around God's Word in a prayerful pursuit of Him!
"In the fifteenth chapter of John, He is the living Vine, and we are the branches. So that the Christian is the one whose roots are in heaven, but the branches fall down to earth, and from the branches, fruit is produced."
- Donald Barnhouse
What is Roots Up?
Hear how God has used Roots Up in other women's lives:
Our topic this year is “A Heart Wholly Devoted.” Much of our content this year grew out of conversations during a visit to the Oregon Coast the end of April. Those conversations have continued every week over Zoom calls. We started with one verse, which is the verse where we left off at Roots Up last year, “Little children, guard yourselves from idols” (1 John 5:21). What a curious place for the Apostle John to end that letter? And so we began our search as to the significance of those words…
As you might guess, the Lord led us into Old and New Testament passages in ways we’ve never seen before. Of course, there are no new revelations, except what is found in Scripture. It’s all there, but just as Paul prayed in Ephesians “…that the eyes of your heart would be enlightened…” (Ephesians 1:18-19) we shouldn’t be surprised when a revelation of the Gospel becomes clearer to us. That’s what we are going to be sharing at Roots Up this October.
We trust the Lord to gather those women He desires to be there. Your part is to pray about joining us and pray to be prepared to receive a good, encouraging word straight from Scripture.
This year we would like to invite you to join us in preparation for the weekend as we hover over God's Word together at Rooted + Woven, a podcast devoted to real-life discipleship and the transforming truth of the whole gospel. Through scripture-rich dialogue and Spirit-led stories, we explore what it means to live in Him, abide in grace, and walk in freedom. A place for deeper connections, authentic discipleship, and Gospel-centered living! This podcast invites you into honest conversations centered on Christ, who is not just a part of our lives, but our very Life. You can listen to Rooted + Woven on all major podcast outlets. More information and links HERE.
Please note: You can see that our coming together is for God. Roots Up is not a retreat. It is not a weekend-get-away. It is a satisfying deep dive around God's Word, united together for His purposes. This is an opportunity to "go on" deeper with God together as women in the Body of Christ.
A greeting from Deb!

Preparation of our hearts
Deb Krum loves Jesus. She’s been in vocational ministry for over 15 years, mostly serving the Lord in rural towns, sharing the life of Christ. She is passionate about God, and His Gospel as it is written in the Scriptures, all to the glory of God. She loves being available to the Lord -- trusting wherever and whenever He sends her. Her great joy is to share Him with women and encourage them to live fully in Jesus.
Meet Deb
Lori Lowe has a sincere, wholehearted love and devotion for the Lord that began early in her life. Her mother steadily pointed her to Jesus. Though she would tell you there were a few years of being disinterested in “religious” things, it’s Jesus she always loved and still does. Lori’s quick wit and practical mind make her a joy to listen to. You just can’t help wanting to be her best friend. Her depth of knowledge in God’s Word is rich and insightful. Aside from the Lord Himself, her passion is for His whole, glorious Gospel. She wants believers everywhere to believe the whole message of the truth. Lori is married to Mike Lowe. Their home is on a beautiful forested ranch in Rathdrum, Idaho. They have two grown sons, with full households of their own. When Lori is not out tending her chickens or harvesting their large garden, you can find her enjoying the sweet simplicity of her nine grandchildren.

These are ordinary women with extraordinary delivery due to their sole and soul-dependence upon Christ Himself. As a believer—or even one curious about the expanse of God’s love--we are being called into higher, wider, deeper existence in Him. ROOTS UP is a profound opportunity to plant and grow your roots into the soil abounding in the love and grace of our Eternal, Saving God.
