A few weeks ago I (Ryan) had the opportunity to speak at the yearly Dorm Spiritual Retreat. On a weekend each spring, the TCIS dorm staff hosts a spiritual retreat for about 30 students in the dormitory program. This is an event where students are given the opportunity to participate in activities and events that will enable and encourage them to grow deeper in their commitment to and relationship with Christ.
I was one of the first speakers on the agenda of the retreat and my topic was to give the students an overview of the "Big Picture" as it relates to the story of God. Key to the talk was the idea that each person is a very integral and valued "character" in God's story.
After a time of singing praise and worship songs in the dormitory recreation room the entire group moved up onto the roof of the building. It was a beautiful, crisp, cool evening. The view from the roof was spectacular, the story of God was amazing, but the speaker??...now that is another story.
