Ever Eat a Pine Tree? | Disciple Playbook

Does the idea of a “silent retreat” appeal to you about as much as eating a pine tree? (cue this Euell Gibbons moment)

Perhaps recasting this as Spending the Day with God makes it more palatable? 🙂

If you’d ever want to consider such an endeavor, the page HERE in the Christian Playbook may help. It shares adaptations to the silent retreat model along with supportive perspectives from 4 sources.

One cool satori based on some of these sources? Christian Playbook principles and topics cover many of the elements in such retreats.

May this day be filled with the Spirit (and maybe a mini silent retreat?)
