“My time at ODR put me on a path toward God that I didn't realize I was off. I felt like God met me in ways I didn't know I needed to be met and began redeeming the broken pieces of my story. I was given space to meet with God and hear Truth from others at the retreat. I was given time to reflect on who He created me to be and to meet with Him in new ways. I can't recommend the ODR experience highly enough!”

“ODR will forever be a milestone – a weekend I will look back on and say, “God saw me. He knew what I needed and He provided.” It was a weekend of hope for me because it is where I began to see my life with a bit more clarity and know that God wants me to be whole. ODR helped me to begin to live the life that God intended especially for me, my own unique life.”

“I had many excuses to not go but knew the weekend was going to make space in my busy life for God to speak clearly. And oh man did He speak! I came away uplifted by sisters, walls that I constructed were demolished, and my identity in Christ was nourished. My favorite part was having space to not only cry out to the Lord but then also sit, in silence, and hear what He has to say to me. ”

“ODR was like making space and time for Jesus to speak into areas of my life I didn't know needed healing. The interactions with Him through prayer, story, and sharing have been invaluable in my life and His plan for restoration and freedom for me.”

“Sometimes life leaves us broken and bruised, looking into a mirror of the soul that is foggy and distorted. The ODR experience helped to clear away some of the fog within until my true self shone through. Through the exercises we did and the relationships forged with other participants, I was reminded of who I am at my core, and I even discovered things about myself that I had never before recognized. I walked away from this intensive ready to bring my whole self back to my normal life.”
