TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat -Rejoicing About or Rejoicing In?
Rejoice. What comes to you when you hear that word? I think of pure innocent, delight and joy - a sunny day where your cheeks hurt from smiling. It's easy to rejoice after we have overcome an obstacle, but when was the last time you rejoiced in a season of struggle with that level of freedom. Today our friends at Unhurried Living remind us of the freedom and joy we have through Christ.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - 5 Ways to Engage Growth
In our relationship with Christ we are constantly being transformed into a new creation. Today our friends from Unhurried Living share some thoughts on how we can engage this growth, deepen our roots, and reach for the heights.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - Prayer: Getting Out of Our Ruts
Do you know what the difference between four wheel drive and two wheel drive is? The distance from the trailhead until you get stuck! Just like a vehicle on a rutted forest service road, we sometimes need to elevate ourselves and get more clearance (perspective) in our prayer life to gain traction and unstuck. Join me today for a ‘lift kit’ of sorts from our favorite couple at Unhurried Living.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - Praying Scripture: Thirsty for God
In the late 1990's my wife and I regularly met with a group praying for the film and entertainment industry in LA. It was here in these monthly gatherings I was first introduced to praying scripture. Since then it has been a staple of my spiritual diet. We invite you to sample it today!
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - Solitude Retreat: An Unhurried Day With God
This weekend is our ReConnect Retreat. I will be pouring out and because I know I will need filling afterwards, I have already scheduled a retreat with my wife Amy at a youth workers event and then a time just with the Lord and I. When was the last time you took a day with Jesus and just spent time together? Learn how you can incorporate this renewal into you life from our friends at Unhurried Living.
ReConnect Retreat Update | Prayer Requests
We are cresting 400 participants for March 18-20th ReConnect Retreat. Keep praying for God to move in mighty ways in the lives of all involved, particularly our students who have had such a hard last two years!
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - Expanding Care Through Prayer
During summer staff training one year, a young man from George Fox University shared how ministry is the overflow of our cup. As God pours His love into our lives (cup), we then can overflow His love to the world. Today we explore the connection between prayer and overflow.
