2025 Men's Spring Retreat
Date: March 28-29, 2025Speaker: David Wooddell, Former Navigator City Director for Kansas City
Topic: "Reflections on Discipleship from the Sermon on the Mount"
Location: YWAM Cross Wind Conference Center, Hesston, KS
David Wooddell has been on staff with the Navigators for 18 years and currently serves as the Director for Kansas City Workplace ministry. He works with business leaders in the Kansas City area helping them integrate Biblical thinking and practice into their personal and professional lives as they reflect Jesus in their workplace, home and community.
The teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5-7 has been called by one of David Wooddell’s mentors “The First Christian Retreat.“ As Jesus called his disciples to himself, he began to teach them the character and influence needed to be his disciples as they engaged contemporary culture. Jesus’ message to his disciples is to be different! Different in character, influence, righteousness, relationships, spiritual disciplines, priorities, and choices. When you learn these Kingdom values you will have a positive influence as a disciple of Christ in a contemporary culture.
Attendees are asked to do the following prior to and in preparation for the retreat:
1. Read through Matthew 5,6,7 several times in different translations. It takes just 15 minutes to read through all three chapters.
2. Because God’s Word is true, ask, “What is He saying and what is He saying to me?”
3. Because God’s Word is relevant, ask, “What is He calling me to do in response?”
4. Write down one or two favorite verses from each chapter
