On the final night of Encounter, Jay Stewart, the lead pastor of The Refuge in Kannapolis, NC, shared a moving message about how God comes to get us in barren places and then carries us back to where we were always meant to be - seated at the King's table!

After 400 years of silence, God chose to speak through an unlikely person - John the Baptist - and in an unlikely place - the wilderness. As Tyson Coughlin, lead pastor of Vizion Church, points out in Session 4, if we want to hear the voice, we've got to move away from the places where we're comfortable and move into the desert.

In Session 3, Pastor Teri Furr of The Refuge issued a passionate plea to move from the edges into the center. It is on the periphery that death comes, but the fire in the middle protects us and keeps us strong, and that is where we will bear fruit that remains.
