Courage: The sacred meeting place of fear and trust.
Sometimes life shifts in ways you never expected. Whether you’re wrestling with a difficult diagnosis, standing at a crossroads, or simply wondering where God is leading, you need more than a burst of optimism. You long for a courage born of trust, rooted deep in your faith, and fueled by the promise of hope.
Instead of the “bold movie-hero” image, discover a more authentic courage that sustains you at the doctor’s office, in stressful conversations, or when you are ready to step into something new.
Have You Wondered?
How can I truly surrender to God?
Am I capable of courageous living?
Is it too late to find a fresh purpose in my life?
Can hope emerge after loss or deep disappointment?
Together We Will…
Learn how to discern between toxic worries and healthy concerns.
Reflect on letting go of what holds you back from trusting God.
Connect deeper with Psalm 46:10 (“Be still, and know that I am God”) as a guiding strength.
Redefine courage as the sacred meeting place of fear and trust.
This retreat intends to show you that you’re more courageous than you realize. You do not have to pretend to be more or less than who you already are. As you nurture your faith from within, you can begin to experience the Divine strength that has been with you all along. That is a reason for hope.
In-person or self paced online - you choose how to take your retreat.

I am grateful for God's gentle "nudge" to take this retreat. It has helped me to find peace and comfort during this difficult time in our world. Each new session renewed my hope and purpose. I have also been touched by the input and comments from those I have been on this journey with. Thank you Christine for your faith, dedication and hard work to bring us these beautiful retreats. Blessings to all of you. - Joan M.

I am deeply grateful for all you did to create and guide us through the weekend. It was a rich and meaningful experience. I especially appreciated the way you developed a sense of community so quickly between a group of (mostly) strangers. I left Mercy Center with a new perspective on and sense of possibility for balancing my Divine rhythm as this new season unfolds. I look forward to connecting with you again.
