We bought a church!

Some news I’ve been holding close.

We bought a church!

And while we’re still in the process of working through the long road of securing the proper zoning to bring Monarch Meadows Retreat to life, I was told it was time to share it. Yes, by God. My heart and brain feel super vulnerable in sharing, and the world tells me I’m foolish, especially after the last property.

Except this labyrinth?
It’s already holy ground.

And this property?
It has everything we hoped for.
A parking lot that welcomes.
A home for overnight guests and team off-sites.
An existing structure with beautiful historical bones, perfect for workshops.
Acres of land we’ll restore with native trees and wildflowers.
And right in the middle of it all, a labyrinth to lead us back to ourselves, to God, and one another.

Here’s the deeper truth, though.
For most of my life, I’ve wrestled to hear God clearly.
I’ve clung tightly to good things that weren’t the right things.
And over and over again, God has whispered:
“Let go. Trust Me. I know this hurts. I promise, what I have for you is way better, just not ready yet.”

This property is that better.

I don’t know the full timing yet. I don’t have all the answers.
I do know this:
God is faithful and He keeps His promises.
And He is building something here, for healing, for connection, for sacred work, that is so much more than I imagined.

Thank you for believing with us.
Keep praying. Keep watching.
The dream of Monarch Meadows is becoming real.
