The weight of waiting well
This is not another vacation. It is a transformation.
Some seasons ask more of us than we expected. The weight gets heavier, the wait gets longer, and rest feels like something for later.
Weight. Wait. Well. is three unhurried days in Charleston for an intimate group of people who are ready to stop carrying it alone. Rooted in Romans 8:18, the teaching follows three words: Weight, and what it means to surrender it. Wait, and how to trust God's timing over the world's. Well, and how to steward yourself through the process with expectation.
Come with someone, or come and meet them.
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Romans 8:18
Three words, one process
The Three Pillars
Weight
Name what you have been carrying, and learn what it means to surrender it rather than manage it.
Wait
Trade the world's timeline for God's, and find what is being built in you while you wait.
Well
Leave with a way to steward your body, mind, and spirit through the process, with expectation.
