Our desire is that this weekend will give you a powerful opportunity to worship and
reflect on the issues of your heart and your struggle with sexual sin.
Our prayer is that you will come away with a new vision and passion for the kind
of man you believe God wants you to be.
We hope you can come and spend a great weekend together with us. The content of
this weekend’s retreat will be about how to live authentically as a man of
God. We will focus on living out of the true masculine self as God intended us
to live. It is our growing
conviction that the greatest challenge we face as sexually broken men is
not just our struggles with lust but with our failure to live out of our God
given identities as new creations in Christ! The enemy’s greatest lie is
to keep us living as discouraged defeated men because of the ongoing reality of our struggles with our sexual brokenness.
Please try to get your registration in early because there will be a limited of number
of spaces for the weekend at the Spade Retreat Center in Kempton, PA. The cost for the entire weekend
will be $250.00 for the 4 days. If there are issues
of financial hardship or any other questions about the retreat please call me at
215-379-4200.
