Gathering of Kings
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22: 36-40
The Wholeness Retreat Series
The Wholeness Retreat series divides and conquers each command to LOVE.
Love Yourself: King Camp is entirely about learning how to love yourself in all your broken parts, deep down into the core of who you are so that you can love others and love God and invite His healing Prescence into the core of who you are.
Love Others: Gathering of Kings charges into why it’s so difficult to love your neighbor, lays waste to preconceived notions about what kills relationship, and unravels the need for God’s healing within ourselves in order to know and love our neighbor.
Love God: King of Kings is the cornerstone of the Wholeness Retreat Series and rips the wool off our eyes to see what worship truly is and how to connect with God, know God, and therefore love God.
