Revitalize

Do you sense that God has something more for you, but you don't know what it is—or how to find it? Do you feel “stuck” or like you're not making progress in your spiritual life? Are you afraid of God's will for you? Do you know God is calling you to lead others to Christ, but you’re afraid?

These can be paralyzing thoughts and feelings—at times, the Twelve Apostles probably felt the same way. But that didn’t stop them from courageously answering the call to follow Jesus and allowing him to change their lives. Yes, the Twelve had the luxury of physically walking with and learning from Jesus, but the reality is, you have experienced his presence, too.

In your Baptism, Jesus encountered you and gave you the gift of the Holy Spirit. You don’t need the latest book, more money, the biggest house, or the newest whatever to get unstuck or discover your mission. You need to revitalize your relationship with Christ—that personal relationship that was established in Baptism.

Revitalize is an adult formation program that will invite the Holy Spirit to remind you of your Baptism, encourage you to renew your baptismal promises, and invite you to give God permission to change your life.

This invigorating seven-week program will:

provide you with the time, space, community, and enrichment to deepen your friendship with God and to profoundly open your life to God’s gift of the Holy Spirit, who is the soul of missionary discipleship
help you cultivate a more intentional life of prayer and teach you to pray with others
proclaim the Gospel afresh into your life and help you to discern your role in God’s life-saving mission
give you the opportunity to grow with other participants as a budding Christian community that prays together, discerns together, and discusses meaningful topics together
