We invite you to

Battle for the Heart

 

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 retreats, 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.

 

Who’s the Battle for?

 

Men’s Teams

You long to step up, to see that you make a difference in your world.

Perhaps you’ve tried different things to bring about that change- new job, new city, new ministry, new whatever – but you’re still the same man relating in the same old ways.

And if you’re like most men, the struggle is wearing you out and making you feel guilty. Maybe you’re even getting close to giving up. But just trying harder is not the answer. The reality is, you won’t see the impact you long for unless you first experience real change in your own heart. And that’s not easy.

Wellspring has a path to this kind of transformation, one that’s grounded in Scripture and time-honored spiritual traditions: The Battle for Men’s Hearts. We lead teams of 4-5 men through a process that builds a safe place to take off masks and discover who they really are and who they were created to be.

Your heart is worth fighting for.

 
 

Women’s Teams

You long to be seen, and known,
and cherished.

Every woman does. You want to believe that there is something truly special about you, an intrinsic beauty that age can never diminish. But if you’re like most women, disappointments and life’s demands crowd out all those longings. It’s easier not to acknowledge them, to yourself or to anyone else. And that’s a pretty lonely way to live.

The truth is, you were made for more. You were meant to live a life of hope, connection, impact, and adventure. You were created to love and be loved. You do, in fact, possess a radiantly beautiful heart, one that’s worth knowing and fighting for. But few of us live out of that truth on a consistent basis. Something has to change.

Wellspring has a path to this kind of transformation, one that’s grounded in Scripture and time-honored spiritual traditions: The Battle for Women’s Hearts. We lead teams of 4-5 women through a process that builds a safe place to take off masks and discover who they really are and who they were created to be.

Your heart is worth knowing.

“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, and Other Addresses

  • Battle for the Heart Alumni Testimony

    “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.”
