Finding God in Your Story: A Complete Weekend Retreat Curriculum

A thoughtfully designed Friday-to-Sunday spiritual formation retreat with a site license and ready-to-use leader and participant resources.

Finding God in Your Story is a complete weekend retreat curriculum designed to help participants become more aware of God's presence throughout their lives. Through Scripture, contemplative prayer, creative reflection, and holy listening, participants are invited to notice God's character, remember God's faithfulness, and recognize God's presence within their own stories.

Creating a retreat that brings Scripture, prayer, reflection, and meaningful experiences together into one cohesive journey takes time and thoughtful preparation. Finding God in Your Story gives you that journey already designed—from the flow of the weekend and teaching guidance to participant resources and creative practices—while leaving room for your own voice, leadership style, and ministry context.

Each of the five session guides follows a consistent structure designed to help you prepare well, lead with confidence, and remain present to the people you are serving.

Session Flow: A clear overview of how the session unfolds, including teaching, reflection, prayer, and creative experiences.

Preparing Your Talk: The theological foundation, Scripture, and key ideas you need to prepare the teaching in your own voice.

Encountering God for Yourself: Reflection questions and invitations that encourage you to engage the session personally before leading others through it.

Leading the Session: Practical guidance for facilitating the session, including pacing, transitions, reflection experiences, and other considerations for leading the group well.
A meaningful retreat requires more than a collection of talks and activities. It takes thoughtful preparation to create a journey in which Scripture, prayer, reflection, and community work together. Finding God in Your Story gives you that foundation while leaving room for you to lead in your own voice and respond to the people in your care.

A complete retreat journey: The sessions have been thoughtfully designed to build on one another, creating a cohesive experience from the opening gathering through the retreat's close.

Resources you can use again: Your Ministry License allows your church, ministry, or organization to use the curriculum for its retreats and print unlimited facilitator and participant materials without additional per-participant fees.

Intentional space for meaningful sharing: Guided reflection and listening practices help create space for participants to share what they are noticing without requiring leaders to manufacture conversation or force vulnerability.

With the retreat structure, teaching guidance, participant resources, and reflection experiences already prepared, you can spend less time building a retreat from the ground up and more time preparing yourself to be present to God and the people you are serving.
