Christ In Me, My Hope
Living from our true center
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
Ephesians 3:14-17a
As this prayer is answered, we find the true center of our being – a safe inner space of peace and strength. Although we know Christ and strive to live with Him, inside we may carry broken fragments from the wounding experiences of life, which prevent us from living fully with God.
The Spirit wants to show us the way so that we no longer live from the centers of our woundedness, but from our true center in Christ.
Come, receive through these recordings of our retreat in Mirenski Grad, Slovenia, February, 2026. Let us learn together to find this inner space where the Lord wants to meet us, speak to us, and grant us forgiveness, renewal, healing, and confirmation.

Receiving and Responding as Sons and Daughters
