Foundations
In this first retreat, we will explore what we call Pillars of Transformation: Retreating, Reflecting, Storying and Journeying. Retreating includes the rhythm of solitude and silence. Reflecting involves the rhythm of journaling and dialoging with God about our journey, noticing in particular His shaping hand in the everydayness of life. We will explore how our own story fits into the larger redemptive story of God. Life is a journey, and we invite you to join us--on a pathway towards "cruciformed leadership." This is not a solitary journey; it is meant to be traveled with others.
To Ponder...
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing.... But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to?... You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
