What Is...?

There are a few items that we use on many of our retreats which always seem to  prompt participants to ask, "What is that...?"

In response to those questions, we've decided to post a little info for you.

 

What is that picture?

That, dear friends, is a painting titled, "Forgiven", by Thomas Blackshear II.  A beautiful, inspired work that has stirred us over the years and continues to touch people with whom we share this image.  There are numerous products on the web depicting this painting.

 

What is that music you play on retreat?

The music we play during the course of a retreat is quite varied: Praise & Worship, Rock, Meditative -- all of it Christian and always with a message.  But what seems to touch folks the most is a little compilation we so creatively refer to as the "Retreat Mix".  It has some newer songs, it has some older songs -- but you can rest assured that every song has met the most stringent criteria: we like them and they have moved us profoundly. In addition, they have the wonderful ability to put one "in the mood" for reflection and prayer (which is probably more important).

The playlist of the "Retreat Mix" has evolved a bit over the years since Randy first compiled it.  Unfortunately, you can't just go out and buy a copy.  Soon we'll list here the songs and artists that have made it onto the Mix.  We know they'll move you as much as they've moved us.
