Our 2024 retreat, beloved, was filled with evidence and reminders of God’s deep love for each of us. Whether it was a word or phrase we heard that resonated on a deep level, the lyrics in a song, a good laugh, a good cry, Amy Seiffert’s teaching, the powerful testimonies given, a personal connection made with someone, or something else, we were reminded that we are each God’s beloved daughter.

Amy Seiffert joined us from Bowling Green, OH. She began Friday night with her whiteboard illustration that God says “you are mine – you are beloved”, and there is nothing we do or have done, think or feel, that can erase those truths.  Amy continued to share the unchangable love of God for each of us through deep, biblical teaching, laughter, memorable stories, and practical “tools”. Together we explored our belovedness through the themes of being named by the Father, trusting the Father, and resting in the Father.

There is much more we experienced and learned during beloved: seen. known. named. I encourage you to find someone who attended and ask them to share what they experienced at the retreat.

We pray we will continue to engage with practices and community that will help us increasingly receive God’s love and live more fully into life as his beloved daughter.
