How you live comes out of what’s happening in your heart.
Your thoughts, feelings and desires – conscious or not – flow into your choices, which affect your entire life.
The Battle experience offers a series of intensives, devotionals, and team meetings for you and your team to encounter the heart of God and come to a transformational understanding of His design for our hearts.
The Bible calls the heart a source of life – a wellspring. Few find it. But for those who do, a world of change is possible.
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures … far too easily pleased.”
―C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
Stories of changed lives:
“Through Wellspring, I began a wonderful journey of returning back home to the Father's heart. During this process, I found out that home was one of my deepest desires, but one that got scarred early on in my life. I moved to the United States from the country of Bolivia when I was young girl. And this displacement and distance from my extended family and culture that I deeply loved, somehow affected other areas of my life. And it became very difficult to connect as an immigrant, difficult to trust, difficult to let go. And it left me in a posture of feeling abandoned, orphaned, and ultimately, homeless.
As much as I love the Lord questions came up in my heart, where am I from? Where do I belong? How do I fit in, in the big picture of my life. But the final retreat for Wellspring was one that I'll never forget. The Holy Spirit whispered to my heart saying, You're not an outsider. You have a place in the heart of God. My group leader along with Larry led me through a powerful and intimate encounter with the Trinity. And this journey began a process where my layers of deception have fallen away, healing my heart and bringing me into the fullness of the experience of what it means to come home.”
