Step Away. Meet Jesus. Be Refreshed.
By Ryan Dawson
Life can feel like a constant race — full of deadlines, responsibilities, and noise. But sometimes the most powerful thing a man can do is step away and meet with Jesus. Jesus Himself modeled this rhythm:
“But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.” Luke 5:16 (NLT)
If even Jesus needed space to rest and reconnect with His Father, how much more do we?
Men of Sequoia, you’re invited to join us for our Sequoia Men’s Retreat — a time set apart to encounter Jesus, build friendships, and be renewed in body and soul. From Friday evening to Saturday evening, we’ll share meals, enjoy good conversations, open God’s Word together, and have space to be quiet before Him.
Whether you’re new to Sequoia or have been part of our church for years, this is a great opportunity to grow in faith and friendship. Come expecting that God will meet you and strengthen you for the life He’s called you to live. Jesus says…
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 (NLT)
We also want to extend a special word to the women in our church — if there’s a man in your life who could use encouragement, renewal, and time with Jesus, would you lovingly encourage him to join us? Your invitation could be the spark that helps him reconnect with God in a powerful way.
So, take the step. Step away. Meet Jesus. Be refreshed.
