relationshipROCK

Has this Yankee been buckled up in the Bible Belt too long? There’s a much deeper explanation for the seismic shift I made from religion to relationship.

My life ROCKed until the soul crushing storms of this life struck. Facing a debilitating disease, the darkness of depression and a near divorce, I hit ROCKbottom. Life hurt beyond words. As the layers and layers of how I defined myself were stripped away so too were the complex layers of my religion. While at the bottom, I encountered Jesus. Pure. Simple. Real. I’d like to share my ROCKbottom to ROCKsolid journey. I want to encourage others to get grounded in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

PARTICIPANT’S GAIN:
– Contemplative time to determine how, if and when to adopt the practice of hanging out with God on a regular basis.
– Insights and ideas on how to get grounded in a ROCKsolid relationship with Jesus Christ.
– An unending Source of peace, power, passion and purpose for the participants who choose to cultivate a relationship with the ROCK Eternal.
