God desires to meet you where you are and carry you through the chaos of this world.
With the overwhelming reality of what we are facing today, how can we continue to discover God’s vision for our lives? You may even wonder, “Does God have a plan for me?” As well as, “How can I discover and use my gifts to be the change I desire to see in this world?”
How do we go deeper when the chaos competes for our attention?
How do we settle our scattered minds and hold on to the promises of God during this time?
There is hope!
You do not have to feel overwhelmed anymore and you do not have to journey alone.
We have prayerfully created a self-paced, six-week retreat as a way to help you intentionally pause, pray, and embrace a path of abundant hope, peace, and purpose. We are inviting you to journey alongside our community to truly discover and live God's vision for your life - a vision where you are overwhelmed no more!
