ABOUT TRAIN TO REIGN
Most of the world attempts to build kingdoms without Kings and Queens. Jeremiah 1:5, Revelation 5:10, and Revelation 3:20 extend to humanity the grand invitation given to us by Jesus Christ. The message of God is not just a message of salvation by way of faith but rather faith's initiation of healing and spiritual formation in the here and now. Train To Reign explores the journey of spiritual formation and the full invitation of Jesus Christ by way of podcast, community groups, and retreats. Have you heard of a gentleman by the name of John Eldredge? He is the former president of “Wild at Heart”, originally known as “Ransomed Heart Ministries” based out of Colorado. We facilitate annual heart restoration camps for both men and women in support of this larger ministry. We have been facilitating these camps for over a decade. We have a three-camp spiritual formation discipleship path for men and a camp for women inviting them into the larger meta-narrative that is Jesus Christ and helping them to find their identity in God and through God as we see Him revealed in scripture.

ABOUT OUR MEN'S CAMPS
Three Camps... One Spiritual Journey
John Eldredge, author of "Wild at Heart," will help us explore key questions about who we are as men, who God intends us to be and the spiritual battles that surround us. This is not a retreat where guys break into small groups and share their feelings, but we will have extended time alone with Jesus in a place free of distraction–one that is bursting with the beauty and wonder of his creation. It’s a time of peace and introspection, healing and restoration, laughter and camaraderie, and a charge to become the warrior and lover you were meant to be. The cost of the weekend includes lodging and food. The weekend begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday evening and ends around 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
I am compelled to share with you the profound essence of what defines us, what shapes our existence, and what illuminates the path to life's ultimate truth. In the words of A.W. Tozer, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." Throughout human history, civilizations have been tied to their beliefs, and the spiritual narrative of mankind has forever been entwined with its perception of the Divine. Our worship, our aspirations, and our very essence are intertwined with the conception we hold of God. In the grand tapestry of existence, the pivotal question that resonates through the corridors of time is this: Who is God? For it is upon this foundational understanding that our lives pivot, and our destinies unfold. Our perception of God shapes our worship, our morals, and our very purpose. The scriptures bear witness to this eternal truth. They speak of Jesus, who declared, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (Jhn 14:6) His sacrifice on the cross, a testament to divine love, resonates through the ages, offering redemption and eternal life to all who believe.
But do we truly grasp the significance of these truths? Do we understand the profound implications of our faith? It is not merely a matter of belief; it is the crux of our existence. For in Jesus, we find the hero of our story, the savior of our souls, and the cornerstone of our faith. Yet, amidst the loud noise of voices and the myriad of interpretations, one question looms large: What do we believe about the book that tells his story? The Bible, the sacred repository of divine revelation, bears witness to the authority of God's Word. "All Scripture is God-breathed," declared Timothy, "useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." (2 Tim 3:16-17) In a world beset by subjectivity and relativism, where truth is often obscured by the whims of human intellect, the Word of God stands as an unchanging beacon of light. "Every word of God is flawless," proclaims Proverbs, "he is a shield to those who take refuge in him." (Prov. 30:5-6) And yet, in our quest for understanding, we must tread carefully, for the scriptures warn against cherry-picking, against molding truth to suit our desires. "All your words are true," affirms the Psalmist, "all your righteous laws are eternal." (Psa 119:160) For in the Word made flesh, we find the embodiment of truth, the revelation of God's eternal plan. "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses," writes the author of Hebrews, "but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet he did not sin." (Heb 4:15) My dear friends, let us reflect deeply on the most important thing about us: our conception of God. Let us embrace the truth revealed in His Word even if it pains us when we do not understand. Let us walk boldly in the light of His love. For in Him alone do we find the way, the truth, and the path to life everlasting.
For His Kingdom,
Pastor Joshua Meyer
