RETREAT CONTENT
Reclaiming
Joy
Learn how to reclaim joy in the face of joy-stealers like fear, quarreling and bitterness. During this retreat we'll discover how we can live beyond these things and step into the broad, healing spaces God desires for us--spaces where we can grow, flourish, and become the joy-filled people of God He wants us to be. Step into greater trust, find healing in difficult relationships, and discover just how powerful forgiveness can be.
Losing Control
So many of us are going through life exhausted and overwhelmed. The experience of feeling overwhelmed is often caused by our attempts to maintain control of everyone and everything that matter to us. The fear of losing control can drive many of us to the brink of breakdown. The irony is that losing control is exactly what we need to do if we are to live flourishing, peace-filled lives and find freedom. Christ lovingly calls us to loosen the grip of control we have over our lives and live open-handed, trusting him with the outcomes.
You Shall
Know
Living with Hope in the Midst of Exile
This retreat is based on the repeated message of hope, grace, and the promise of restoration in the book of Ezekiel. "You shall know that I am the LORD." We'll take a deeper look at how God rebuilt, replanted, and resurrected a hopeless people. We'll also explore how this is true for our lives as well.
A Deeper
Well
Everyone wants the abundant life, but do we know what that truly means? In our search for the abundant life, many of the wells we draw from simply cannot provide the type of abundance our souls truly thirst for. During our time together, we’ll consider what types of wells we are drawing from to find satisfaction, purpose and fulfillment, and how we can draw from a deeper well in order to live the abundant life Christ desires for us.
Above the
Noise
Hearing, Believing, and Obeying the Voice of God in a Noisy World​
​
On this retreat, we'll spend time in God's Word, learning how God speaks into the noise of our lives. We'll discover together how to recognize God's voice and live in obedience.
Good
Question
What do you want?
Is anything impossible for God?
Do you not see it?
​
There's something powerful about a good question. Varioius men and women throughout Scripture were asked these questions. Each one struck at the heart of the deepest longings and desires of individuals and communities. How might exploring these questions for yourself open your eyes to something new?
Perfectly
Imperfect
Explore the lives, challenges, imperfections, and accomplishments of Rahab, Naomi, and Ruth. As you learn about the potential each of these women possessed and how God strengthened and empowered them, you will be led into a greater understanding of your own potential and God's great love for you, even in the midst of your own imperfections and difficulties.
Captivated
There are many "shiny" things in this world that captivate us and hold our attention. These things have a tendency to occupy most of our thoughts, energy, and focus. But what does it look like to be captivated by Christ? And how would being captivated by Him transform how we think and what we desire?
Change the
Storyline
Sometimes it can seem like our lives are headed in one unchangeable direction. During this retreat, we'll look at Esther, who witnessed first-hand how God altered a seemingly unchangeable storyline. Learn how our God is the God of impossible endings.
