Intro to Relational Spirituality

About

If you loved the first exercise in the Deep Group Narrative at the 2026 Leadership Retreat, this course is for you! You’ll be completing journaling exercises 2-5 in the series.

This program will help you become more securely attached to God and others at your own pace.

This program is built to inspire, instruct, and engage. You'll access thoughtfully designed content and connect with fellow students who share your drive and curiosity. Most importantly, you'll grow—the path through this course is one of real transformation, and the community around you makes that possible.

How to Get the Most Out of this Class

Be supportive. Your fellow students are here to learn, not to be critiqued. Encouragement goes a long way — save the criticism and unsolicited advice for somewhere else.

Share openly. Your experiences and stories have value. What you've lived through might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.

Think constructively. Help each other see bigger possibilities, reframe obstacles, and stay curious. We're here to lift each other up.

Keep it genuine. This space exists for learning. Spam, self-promotion, and trolling have no place here.
