You’ve walked through a wilderness.
Maybe you’re just emerging from it.

Maybe you’re standing at the edge of what’s next.

After seasons of uncertainty, loss, hardship or waiting, it’s natural to wonder how God intends to use what you’ve walked through. Desert Day 41 is a guided spiritual retreat designed to help you reflect on your wilderness with clarity, recognize God’s faithful presence, and step forward with renewed courage and hope.

The wilderness leaves its mark — shaping faith, refining identity, and preparing us for what comes next. Though it may have felt slow, painful, or unclear at the time, it was not wasted. 

This one-day retreat invites you to:

• Recognize your wilderness as sacred preparation, not lost time.

• Reflect on what God grew in you through Scripture and prayer.

• Discern calling and direction for your next season.

• Name God’s faithfulness along the way.

• Step forward with courage and confidence in Christ.

The wilderness shaped you — now let God reveal why.

Join us for a peaceful and soul-refreshing Desert Day Retreat at the cozy Retreat House on the beautiful grounds of Country Lake Retreat Center in Underwood, Indiana. Our day together will begin with arrival at 8 a.m. on Friday, May 15, and conclude around 5 p.m. that evening.

The $150 registration fee includes a full day of rest and renewal—featuring biblical teaching, guided creative sessions, a thoughtfully designed workbook to continue your journey beyond the retreat, as well as breakfast, lunch, and nourishing snacks throughout the day.
