Topics for Women's Retreats

Stepping Out of the Boat:
Living the Radical Life for Jesus
This multi-session retreat challenges women to step out of their comfort zones and instead embrace the exciting adventurous life on the edge that God has called us to life. Each of the three dynamic 40 minute sessions passionately demonstrate how God calls us to a deeper walk with Him, a life that has meaning and purpose, a life that is Radical in today's world. When He stands on the water inviting us to come join Him (just like Jesus did with Peter in the Bible), we too need to step out of our boats so we can be W.O.Wed (Walk On Water) with Him.

Romanced: Let the Wooing Begin...
Romance...a women's deepest desire. Romance...the longing of our hearts. Yes, we all want to be romanced...to be loved completely and unconditional, and to feel our inner beauty blossom with that love. Romance. It is at the core of every woman, her heart's desire, the very essence of her being. What we often fail to realize is that the wooing has already begun. God has wooed us for years, every since we were little girls---and even now as women, He is wooing us still. This two part retreat explores the wellspring of a woman's heart, revealing her deep inner beauty, and how God pursues a passionate abiding love relationship with us. Yes, this topic might get a bit HOT! But, that's exactly what Christ desires of us. Our relationship with Him really is a love affair.
