What if your New Year’s resolution could impact your whole life? What if this year, you set your goal to let Christ infuse all areas of your life? What would that look like? How would your annual goal setting and planning be different?
As we have done for the last 20 years, Chris & I begin each year with an intentional discernment and planning process that aligns our core values and goals with God’s vision for our lives. In 2021, we started teaching others our tried-and-true process through a live virtual evening of reflection and later through an on-demand retreat. This year, as we lean into our mission of accompaniment, we’re expanding our offering and going deeper together with our four-week program, Living with Christ: An Ignatian Discernment Process for Intentional Living.
Going Deeper Together
We will share not only the tools and techniques we refined in our own annual practice, but also accompany you deeper in your faith. During each week of this self-paced retreat, we will invite you to create time and space to pray, to listen, and to plan with Christ. Within the weekly videos and prayer resources we will help you put together an intentional and prayerful plan for the year rooted in your core values and the desires Christ has for you. Go forward with boldness and peace, integrating Christ’s vision for you into your everyday life!
