Leading Through Refining Fire
Creative Leadership Retreat | April 19–22, 2026
In a season marked by relational, spiritual, and cultural intensity, many leaders find themselves carrying responsibility without adequate space to be renewed. The 2026 Creative Leadership Retreat, which I am hosting alongside Dr. Hollisa Alewine of The Creation Gospel, is an invitation to pause during the Omer Count and remember how Scripture teaches us to tend holy fire—fire that refines rather than scorches, clarifies rather than confuses, and strengthens rather than exhausts.
From April 19–22, gather with a diverse community of leaders, creatives, couples, singles, and sojourners for several days of teaching, worship, and shared life. Featured speakers include Grant Luton & Robin Luton (Torah Today Ministries), Beth Cloud (Jacob’s Tent), Tammy McLendon (River of Life Tabernacle), Simonette Cherepanov (Seven Lamp Wellness), Michelle Shaff (Seeds Within Seeds), worship with Rhonda Carter and Tracey Colling, and others whose teaching are shaped by obedience and faithful presence.
Alongside rich biblical instruction, the retreat offers room for creativity and joy—acrylic painting, jewelry making, gentle morning movement, laughter, and unhurried fellowship. Whether you lead a family, a ministry, a workplace, or are learning to lead your own life faithfully in a demanding season, this retreat offers practical tools, fellowship, and spiritual renewal.
Space is limited. Visit the retreat website by clicking here or on the image below to register.





Kisha will any of the speakers be recorded and if so, will we have access to the recordings? I can’t make this this year unfortunately 🥴

Hi Kisha
I am looking into booking for Bruce and I for the leadership retreat. What city do we book a flight into? Do we rent a car to get to the retreat center?
Thank you Martha

Hi Martha,
Send me an email, so I will be able to add you to my “flyers” file. The airport is Knoxville, TN (TYS). We are usually able to get local volunteers to pick you up from the airport and bring you to the venue (and back to the airport to return home). We can’t guarantee this as it requires locals to volunteer, but so far, we’ve been able to do this for our retreat guests without issues. 😊

Hi
I just thought of googling it. I have a cold and am not thinking that clearly today. LOL
