God has not called us to live for the approval of people, but for the pleasure of Him. Yet so much of life can be shaped by fear, comparison, pressure, reputation and the desire to be accepted. Galatians 1:10 calls us back to a better way: living before God first, with hearts anchored in His truth and lives surrendered to His will.

Across the retreat, we’ll open God’s Word and explore what it means to live for an Audience of One. We’ll look at how God reshapes our identity, how we follow the One we live for, what mission He has called us into, and how we engage that mission boldly in our everyday lives.

Our prayer is that this retreat would strengthen us to live with courage, clarity and conviction, fearing God above man and giving our whole lives to please Him.
