The Reflection Retreat (Live, Virtual, or Small Group Content)
The Reflection is a unique co-ed retreat that includes compelling stories, thought-provoking teaching, music and art, personal encouragement, and guided spiritual and relational activities. The retreat theme, “Just As I Am”, addresses the beauty of accepting ourselves as we are, experiencing intimacy with God, and living out authenticity in friendships, dating, and marriage. The content and times of reflection help to identify and overcome the barriers many of us face as we attempt to find, keep and enjoy fulfilling relationships.
Let’s Talk: How to Have Confident Conversations With Our Kids, Colleagues, and Comrades in Today’s Sexualized Culture (Workshop)
Christians are called to be salt and light to the world. But, when the subject of sex comes up, it can be challenging and awkward. We often avoid it and just roll with the tide. Or respond with rigid rules that shame others and kill the conversation. In these times, where our hyper-sexualized culture is luring and harming our kids, our colleagues, and our close friends, we need to reach out as Jesus would, in conversation that offers God’s restorative love, care, and kindness.
Heart of Man (Movie and Event)
The Heart of Man is a story inviting the sons and daughters of God to leave behind our broken, moralistic, and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others. Once we begin to know who God is (and as a result who we are), we have something to invite the world into.

Something About Sexting
A four-session interactive program for middle school or high school students (school or youth groups). The first three sessions are targeted toward the students: Why you or others do it, how it hurts you and others, why and how society and media push you to do it, and what will you do about it. The fourth session invites parents to join the conversation, addressing privacy concerns, dangers to watch for, apps to recognize, and precautions to take.
