Out of the Wilderness

Breathing Room

Last time we went into the deep together, now I’d like to talk about coming out of the wilderness. During our last Breathe Retreat, this was our theme, and I’d like to take the time to share some of the lessons we talked about there that brought a huge breakthrough for people attending. But what is a wilderness season? Is there time for us to be there? And when and how should we come out of it?

Let’s dive right into The Word and learn what this is all for, and what it looks like to come out of the wilderness.
