Here’s what some retreat participants have to say…

quote

"The Soul and Strategy retreat for me is a beautiful time of reflection and challenge. Reflecting on the faithfulness of God and being challenged by dynamic speakers and colleagues, who have become my friends."

Rhonda Littleton, A Home for Me

"The Soul & Strategy retreat was worth the investment. The teaching was incredible and genuinely what I needed. I really enjoyed the fellowship and collaboration with other leaders who are also in the trenches fighting for the vulnerable."

Todd Guckenberger, Back2Back Ministries

"Soul & Strategy was such an important time for me as a leader. I was spiritually nourished through times of worship, teaching and reflection. I was encouraged through times of discussion and fellowship. I was challenged to be a more intentional spiritual leader for my agency. Soul & Strategy is now a non-negotiable on my calendar."

Steve Duer, Agape of Central Alabama
