SPIRITUAL IMPACT: Dr. Blair Ritchey led an in-depth discussion based on Jamie Winship’s book Living Fearless and how to lead from our true identity.
First-ever ISF Baptism: Two of our students requested to be baptized and celebrate this significant spiritual step with their ISF family!
BUILDING COMMUNITY: An important part of the ISF Retreat is the community that is created among our students. We build in fun recreational times as well as opportunities for personal reflection and group building activities, the favorite of which is the group cooking project.
