2023 Retreat
We need to write 2-3 sentences describing the series, warm, personal, using "we" and "our". Mention scripture or theme studied. No intro, no label. Should not start with "In this series" or "Join us". Should be warm, specific. Goal: combine lessons: Gideon's Courage (Judges 6-7), S-M-A's Courage (Daniel 3), Peter and John’s? Actually that's about Joshua and Bonhoeffer; but title: Peter and John’s Courage? The summary mentions Joshua, Bonhoeffer. Anyway mention "courage" and "trusting God". Provide what someone would gain: deeper trust, confidence, community support. Write 2-3 sentences. Let's craft: We’ll walk together through Gideon’s trembling call (Judges 6‑7), the fiery stand of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Daniel 3), and Joshua’s charge to be strong (Joshua 1) to discover that true courage isn’t the absence of fear but the habit of leaning on the One who promises to be with us. As we share doubts, test our faith, and cheer one another on, we’ll leave with a concrete reminder that God equips ordinary people for extraordinary work and that we can face any trial—big or small—with the confidence He gives. That's 2 sentences. Make sure not start with "In this series" or "Join us". Done.
