Come to the Springs this April

Augustine once said that “educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” At the Springs, the Spirit teaches us what our hearts have yet to fully grasp…

  • That communing with God is never a waste of time but an investment in an eternal friendship.

  • That seeking God is always worthy of my effort…even when He is silent or appears to be absent.

  • That the nearness of my God is the one true ‘good’ that I can no longer live without.

  • That intimacy with God is not something we make happen, but something we create space for.

  • That experiencing God’s love is all that I truly need in this life.

  • That I will only love my God to the degree that His love has been internalized in me.

  • That silence before God helps me learn to lay down the power of my words.

  • That I’m fully seen in my brokenness, still loved in my failures and deeply cherished by my heavenly Father. (Anonymous author)

Come to the next Springs and see what the Holy Spirit wants to reveal to your heart.
