Calling Unpacked: Sacred People

Our lives are often compared to a rat race, one full of the anxiety and angst caused by hurry, day in and day out. Those of us who are gunning for that prize, promotion, or success often don't think to slow down. But on this fast track, we invariably miss out on some of the greatest moments and people that our days have to offer and face loneliness. In order for us to slow down and learn to listen to what God is doing in us, our 2019 retreat, “Calling Unpacked”, zeroes in on ruthlessly eliminating hurry in our lives, nourishing the sacred in our time and places, and cultivating sacred friends whom we can truly depend on in our suffering. In the end, the redemption of how God turns our suffering into his trophies of grace is better done in the company of trusted friends, in the sacred moments, and for the sake of our fellow brothers and sisters in their own pain.
