Here’s a song I wrote about retreat (from the latest album)… When the World Closes In
And check out the new video below. This was a labor of love by many of the folks who have gone on the retreat before and wanted to spread the word. Thanks Miranda Pheifer and friends!

Hey, RVA friends –
I’ll be serving as adjunct faculty this next school-year at Richmond Hill, facilitating a 9-month course on vocation and discernment. Would love to have you join us!
Are you in a questioning period of your life? Do you sense God leading you in new ways, but not sure what next step to take? Is there new vision being birthed in your heart?
Why not give God some intentional time this next year to really dive in to where He might be leading you? Through community, study, retreat, and reflection, you’ll be given the space and tools to hear God’s voice and direction in new ways. You won’t regret it!
To apply, sign up here
Gatherings will be held on Tuesday nights at 7pm.
The deadline is June 1 – but there’s some wiggle room
Read MoreWhy Lent?
Our lives are busier and more distracted than ever. It is becoming more and more difficult to hear the often still, small voice of God in the midst of a chaotic culture. We need practices that enable us to pause, to listen, to unclutter our minds and hearts, to see clearly in new ways. A smothered plant cannot grow – it needs light and air.
What is it?
Lent is a 2,000 year-old practice of setting aside the 40-days (plus 7 Sundays) before Easter as an intentional time of confession, simplicity, fasting, and communion with God. It is a time before the resurrection to identify with Christ in His temptations, trials, and sufferings on our behalf.
How do we do it?
We will join the Church around the world in observing Lent this year from February 18th to April 5th.We invite you t0 consider what discipline or exercise God might be inviting you toward in this season. What discipline might help you get in touch with your need for God, for the cross, for grace? What do you need to loosen your grip on…that may have its grip on you? Is it fasting a meal and choosing to pray during that hour instead? Is it fasting from social media, TV, or sweets? Or is it adding something intentional to your schedule, like a daily prayer or service project? What might feed your soul and nurture the life that God has planted in you? Let’s see what God has for us – together!
