The Word of God is waiting — ready to speak, to guide, to transform your mind and heart. Whether you’re opening the Bible for the first time or returning to familiar passages, God’s living Word invites you to encounter Him in fresh, powerful ways. Word Alive is a Broken & Beautiful retreat designed to help Christian women move beyond reading Scripture to experiencing and understanding it. This sacred time away will invite you to pause, dig deep and discover how God’s Word speaks directly into your everyday life—right where you are.

Everyone is in a wilderness.

Maybe you're stepping into one.

Maybe you're in the thick of it.

Maybe you're just finding your way out.

Whether it's grief, career uncertainty, relational strain, health struggles or spiritual dryness — the wilderness looks different for all of us. But what connects us is this: we all walk through it. Desert Day 40 is a guided spiritual retreat designed to help you reframe your wilderness, recognize its purpose, and walk through it with grace, clarity, and hope.

The wilderness is often uncomfortable, unclear, and overwhelming — a place where God can feel distant. Yet, it is also where He often draws nearest. This one-day retreat invites you to:

• See your wilderness as sacred preparation, not abandonment.

• Reflect on biblical stories of wilderness and transformation.

• Discover God’s daily provision — your “manna.”

• Receive a roadmap for navigating your season.

• Leave with renewed trust and tools for the journey ahead.
  

You're not alone. God is near. And the wilderness is not the end of your story.
