We have an invitation for you. We want to invite you to the first ever intentional

motherhood retreat. We want to invite you to join us for a three-day retreat of being

given too. We know and live the beautiful challenge of motherhood. We know the feelings

of aloneness, of inadequacy, of fear, of weariness that so often weigh us down in the midst

of all it means to be a mother. We've designed this retreat with your needs in mind, your

need for connection with like-minded women, your need for gentleness of spiritual formation,

and ultimately your need to be strengthened for the task of motherhood.

How long has it been since someone? Anyone really poured into you. We know the answer

too long, if ever, as a mom you give and give and give until there's nothing left.

So come to where we live in Bend, Oregon, a place of startling beauty, a place to come away from it

all. Come with your best friends, your sister, your mom come together or come alone. It was Dallas

Willard who said, if you don't come apart for a while, you'll come apart after a while.

So come, come apart with us for a while. Join us October 5th through 7th here in Bend, Oregon,

all the details are in the show notes.

Welcome to the Intentional Parents Podcast. Intentional exists to help parents in their God-given

task to raise passion in Jesus' followers. We exist to bring hope, help, and healing to families.

Each week we will talk about anything from parenting, marriage, lifestyle, and what it looks like

to follow Jesus in our time. Intentional is made up of Phil and Diane Comer and Brook and Elizabeth

Moser. I am Brook, and the funny thing is, we are all family. Elizabeth is Phil and Diane's

daughter, so we're a family, figuring this thing out together. We hope this podcast feels like

you're sitting with us in our home talking about how to do this thing called life together.

Elizabeth and I are your host. Let's get into this week's podcast.
