Why does God seem distant? Why is it so difficult to love and be loved in the way we really want. Why is life so hard?
Whether we know it or not, we are all desperately searching for intimacy and satisfaction for the ache in our heart.
In our quest we experience moments of joy as well as times of shattering pain that leave us grasping for peace.
This weekend we will reflect on the deep intimacy God desires with us and the barriers that separate us from Him.
Through inspiring and practical teaching about how we can experience healing and freedom from the things that steal our hope and joy, we will make room for the Holy Spirit to continue the journey of transformation in us by the renewal of our minds and the conversion of our hearts.
Here's what previous participants had to say...
"I always pictured myself as standing on a towering cliff - never able to step over the edge and fully commit myself to life. At the Freedom Conference I leaped ... and God has been flying with me since. My eyes opened, my heart rejoiced and I placed my hand in Christ's hand. Before: I found that the passion (the passion for God, the passion for love, the passion for running, the passion for my work... there are many) which so often blessed and overwhelmed my life was too short lived... an ebb and flow effect! However on the weekend of the Freedom Conference everything clicked... I could go on and on and on about all sorts of glorious and wondrous things"
"I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to find the Way, the Truth and the Life"
"I appreciated everyone in the team who had to travel so far to make such a wonderful weekend happen - I feel that the combination of such a large team, who are so focused on God, intensified the movement of the Holy Spirit."
"Thank you for helping me to light the flame and I thank God for keeping that flame burning and glowing in my life!"
"The Freedom Conference made me realize the walls I put up in my life that prevented a real relationship with my heavenly Father. I learned it's a journey and I was missing out."
"During the weekend when I needed comfort or answers the music touched me and I felt Jesus wrap me in his arms and hold me like a little child needs a parent's embrace."
"The Freedom Conference is a life altering weekend that gave me great insight into my life. It helped me grow closer to God by learning how to trust Him more and receive His deep healing. Jake taught me how to increase self-awareness and he gave me the tools to continue the healing even long after the weekend was over. Jake speaks straight from his heart and his journey with God is an inspiration. He is an amazing storyteller and he leaves you wanting more."
"The conference weekend helped me go deeper with Christ and grow in conviction of His promises in Scripture. At times I struggle to believe that we really can find true peace, joy, and freedom in this world. For me this was the gift of the weekend, learning how to live with an open heart and to allow Him to restore us! Having great talks, access to the Sacraments, and beautiful worship through music was incredible!
