Some struggles need more than a Sunday sermon — they need focused time, a trained counselor, and the unhurried space to work things through at the root. That is exactly what this three-day intensive provides.

Working with Dr. Mark Thornton and our counseling team, you (or you and your spouse) will move through a structured sequence of sessions grounded in Scripture: surfacing the story, naming the wounds, applying the Gospel, and building a concrete plan for the road ahead. Between sessions, guided reflection exercises and quiet time on the grounds let each conversation settle before the next begins.

Who It’s For

  • Individuals working through grief, anxiety, burnout, or a broken season
  • Couples navigating conflict, trust, or communication breakdowns
  • Ministry leaders who need a confidential place to be honest

How the Three Days Work

  • Day One — Intake conversation and two foundation sessions: your story, in full
  • Day Two — Three working sessions with guided reflection between each
  • Day Three — Integration, a written plan for the next 90 days, and commissioning prayer

What’s Included

Seven private counseling sessions, all materials and assessments, lunch each day, and one follow-up video session 30 days later. Spots are intentionally limited to six participants per intensive so every person receives full attention. Overnight lodging is available on campus for an additional $60/night — note it at registration.
