Retreats & Rhythms
"Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.... Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly."
Matthew 11:28-30, Message
We care about using our lives for Kingdom impact. But apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. We need deep and abiding communion with Him to nourish and sustain the work of our hands.
At Thrive Residency, we actively practice the spiritual disciplines, beginning with Scripture and prayer. We encourage sabbath rest, soul care, and nourishing our physical body. We set aside a handful of weekends for personal and group spiritual retreats. We learn that sacred rhythms like these are essential if we endeavor to flourish in life and ministry.
Thrive Residency is an intensive 10-month experience. But Residents are given plenty of free time too; and Knoxville is a perfect town for foodies, coffee lovers, sports fans, and all things outdoors!
