Delve Deeply into Timeless Truth

Join Jen Wilkin for In the Word—an event where you’ll explore The Lord’s Prayer with fresh eyes and renewed purpose.

At this event, you’ll be challenged and encouraged through thought-provoking Bible teaching and worship with Sandra McCracken. Discover how this well-known prayer invites us to look upward to the character of God, inward to the state of our hearts, and outward to the needs of our neighbors. Walk away with a deeper theology of prayer and practical tools to transform not just how you pray—but why you pray.

Stories from In The Word Events

I just loved being able to worship with a room full of women. I also appreciated the time to just get away and have extended teaching. This phase of my life is a bit overwhelming, so it was refreshing to take a break and just immerse myself in the Word and gifted teaching.

The Lord provided a weekend full of worship and truth. The Lord worked through Jen to bring His truth to the forefront. She explained beautifully how there is a big difference between Gods knowledge and wisdom and our own and how to navigate bringing Gods wisdom into our lives.

This first In the Word event has become an Ebenezer moment in this journey to glory. Jen’s hope was for us to leave not “filled” but “stirred to hunger more for His Word.” God has made this so! Hallelujah!
