Join me in an online retreat: At home with Jesus

If you’re feeling stuck at home during this season of the easing of lockdown, why not set aside some time with Jesus? You’ll experience refreshment, inspiration, and rest as we explore some gospel stories. Join me June 20 for timings suitable to North America and 4 July for the UK/Europe.

At Home with Jesus
Jesus loved his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, and their home in Bethany was his second home. We’ll explore action and contemplation, faith and doubt, despair and longing, resurrection and hope, sacrificial love, and the meaning of home. Each session has teaching along with the space for you to meet with God in interactive prayer exercises. Expect to be refreshed, inspired, and challenged to sit at the feet of Jesus, knowing again how much he longs to spend time with you, while also collaborating with him as you serve him.

Session 1: Prayer and action
Mary and Martha have been made into types, but they were so much more than that. In this session we’ll explore being and doing, learning and serving, prayer and action – how the one doesn’t negate the other.

Session 2: “If you’d been here, Jesus…”
Where is Jesus when we need him? That’s what both Mary and Martha asked him after their beloved brother Lazarus died: Where were you? We’ll explore lament and how to bring our feelings to Jesus – and how he transforms us through his love.

Session 3: Love poured out
Mary wasn’t afraid to show her love to Jesus in a public setting, even though her act shocked those around her. And Jesus received her anointing as a gift. How can we unselfconsciously pour out our love to Jesus?
