RHYTHMinTWENTY is a two-year long journey for twenty leaders. It’s the opportunity to find what it means to embrace one’s passion and calling. To establish a strong sense of rhythm and balance in the midst of facing challenges and resistance. And it’s about developing resiliency and deep community.

Now don’t freak out. It’s actually an event that happens three times (fall of ’11, ’12, ’13) over the course of two years. The point is it’s more than a summer camp, or a post-event passion, or a new year resolution. It’s different.

During our time together, you will spend both the time and conversation in relationship that are necessary for change. But we will also spend time in specific teaching settings, sharing some of the many nuggets of wisdom that we have picked up along the way. With room for plenty of self-exploration, combined with the voices of others who deeply care, change is inevitable.

    The first year we want to focus on the idea of balance, passion and calling. We’re going to give you specific tools and the time you need to help you find out just where it is that you feel your journey may be taking you.

    With some time for self-exploration and the voices of others speaking into your story and life, our hope is to help us all identify just where it is that our passion, dreams and talent may be taking us.

    Slap in a day of the ultimate Colorado adventure, a ridiculous bed and breakfast, mountains, and a lot of good food, this week is sure to be a doozy.

    During the second year, we’ll explore the many deep connections that we need to travel the journey well. We’ll wrestle with what it really takes to maintain a deep connection to God, to the people in our lives and to the many things that bring us life along the way.

    We’ll wade into today’s trendy topic of ‘community’, as we know that we will not survive the world of leadership (or the world itself) without people in our lives. We plan to bring the dream of journeying together come to life.

    Not only do we hope for the relationships we develop while journeying through this event together, but we hope to help identify key relationship that will shape us in the circles from which we come.

    And during the third year, we delve into the idea of resilience; that as we continue through the journey of our own failures and successes, our character will constantly be in the pursuit of God, at the height of our dreams, and in the midst of our deepest wounds and struggles.

    As this journey comes to a close we plan to mark the time that has been set aside for change with a momentous close. With the inclusion of looking at what it takes to stay the course and finish well, we plan for this year to be the finish needed to live into this life of rhythm, balance, and dreaming huge.
    Change rarely happens overnight. That is why we believe that over the course of three years we might truly have the opportunity to find a new way of living. This time is not meant to be rigid, but to be explorative in our lives, in our world, in our own families, as what it means to find rhythm. Yet the hope is that you will not explore alone.

    With the lives of twenty others journeying together and the resources provided by yours truly, we believe that change is inevitable.

    It’s hard to entirely define what this time looks like, but what you can expect is to collectively read some of the same texts, watch the same films, listen to some of the same music, and collectively engage the depth of our lives together, from a distance. We’ll connect via multiple avenues throughout the year, while providing the invitation to a new rhythm in your own journey and connection with God. This time won’t be rigid or incredibly time consuming... but we understand that the more we put in, the more we get out. Simple physics really.
    Bottom line: There are people who deeply believe that the lives of twenty young leaders who find a different sense of rhythm to their life and ministry, will make an incredible difference in this world. That’s why, despite the cost of these three years, you only have to come up with $350 for each year and get yourself to where we are.

    The impact that we believe will come from the lives of 20 young leaders is worth enough that we have done our best to make sure money will never get in the way.
