It's not about canned presentations and quirky transitions.  It's knowing God's story, your story, and wanting to talk about it.

Gospel is good news even if people don't believe it.  Brian and Cammie challenge you to see what good you can do for anyone anytime this Summer.

Everyday Gospel happens in everyday relationships, so let's talk about the kind of spaces and conversations that best roll out the carpet for that.

Summer brings people out and relationships together.  May it's God who's brought those relationships into your life for a reason; a gospel reason.  Brian and Cammie kick off a new series of episodes on growing a gospel-centric Summer for you and your everyday relationships.

We usually learn and lesson our way through Scripture.  Retreat allows us to hear the voice of God fresh for today in our reading.

If you're anything like us, there's a long list of questions and prayers for God, that deserve more focused time.  Retreat, is your time, to give it that time.  Another quick tutorial from Brian and Cammie will get you a sense of how to unpack your biggest prayer in quiet ways on retreat.

What do you do on retreat?  You get quiet.  You listen.

A very quick tutorial on today's episodes will help you get and stay completely quiet with God, without feeling like you're doing nothing.

Retreat gives space for your soul to come out of hiding.  Lean back as Brian and Cammie walk you through noticing just that in this episode.

Cammie and Brian give you a practical field guide on where/when/how to prepare for your spiritual retreat.  It's more realistic than you think, with a little intentionality.

They promised a special list of Milwaukee area places to retreat, so here you go: 

• Retreat Centers, Hotels, Cabins.  
  • Brian goes to St. Mary's of the Lake near Gurnee as a retreat center.  Cammie loves Fort Wilderness near Rhinelander.
  • Hotels in Lake Geneva & Cedarburg are quaint locations.
  • Find a friend with a lake cabin, or search for a Vrbo.  You might be surprised what you can find and fall in love with!
• Parks & Public Places
  • Milwaukee Area classics are Seven Bridges at Grant Park or Whintall Park.  Pro Tip: If you walk the space North of Grant Park Beach or South of Seven Bridges, you can pretty much find a spot where you'll have Lake Michigan all to yourself.
  • Lesser known gems for public parks are Minooka (Waukesha), South Shore Park (Bay View).
  • Brian frequents the Milwaukee Public Art Museum, or wanders for a street bench in the Third Ward. 
  • Cammie loves Starbucks coffee in Lake Geneva.  Brian prefers coffee in Walker Point.  Both recommend Collectivo Tosa.

Getting away from everyone and everything else seems impossible, even if it's for getting with God.  We're too busy.  We don't know what we'd do when we get there.  We feel quiet is uncomfortable. We think it sounds too selfish. 

In this episode, Brian and Cammie give an earnest look at why forming a rhythm of retreat could be so important to the closeness you have with Jesus.
