"I’m in the military and the opportunity to do a virtual retreat was so incredible. I’m indescribably grateful that I was able to tune in from a distance. After the physical, mental, and spiritual battles of over four years without being able to do a retreat, this was an opportunity to dive back into my faith and find rejuvenation there."
