January's Retreat: The Year of the Lord's Favor
Greenhousing our souls under the warm sun of Jesus's mission
What if 2023 is the year of the Lord's favor for you, your work, your family?
And what if the first step towards aligning your life with his favor is taking a little bit of time to receive it and act on it right here at the start of the new year?
January’s Greenhouse Retreat is all about helping you to do just that.
Three easy steps:
Block off a couple of hours sometime over the next several weeks.
Access the free retreat materials below (printing it out is optional but recommended).
Be refreshed and renewed as you seek the Lord and integrate what it might look like for your 2023 to be the year of the Lord’s favor.
There are other ways you can use these materials: go through them workbook style over several days, use them in church or para-church staff meetings, small group discussions, or invite a group of people to retreat together.
Brian invited his men’s group to retreat with him one morning in early December. They were mostly retired and none of them had ever done anything like this before.
Here was Brian’s report:
Universal high marks for the Greenhouse materials! There were a lot of great insights, tips, prompts, and keep encouraging participants to "customize" as the Spirit leads. I like the idea of seeing how we might offer more of these opportunities to more of our folks! My intention is to try another in early Lent, then possibly a third before summer. I wonder if this sort of thing might serve a wider audience in the church?
