A Center for the Retrieval of Christian Wisdom

Young Adult Wisdom Week

Sojourn

Choosing the Wise Path as You Navigate God’s World

So many choices. Every young adult wonders what they’re supposed to do with their life. “What career should I pursue? Who should I marry/should I marry? Where should I live? What kind of person am I going to be?” The seemingly smaller questions are also really important and can be daunting. “What should I do today? How do I respond to this criticism? How am I going to pay for this? Should I do what this person is asking of me?” This week will provide you with some time-tested and biblically rooted tools to put to work in your own life as you seek to follow the path the Lord has called you to.

Our Sojourn program has been cancelled for the first week of May, but if you are
interested in doing this program as a residential discipleship week with a special focus on exploring Christian wisdom and its application to your life, please fill out the registration form to specify some dates you are available and our program coordinator will be in touch with you!

Sojourn n. a period of time when you stay in a place as a traveler or guest.


The journey of this life is by nature our temporary home. As Abraham longed for a better country, one not made with human hands, so do we. But we are called to important tasks in our sojourn, and to live as we are called requires wisdom from the Lord.
The Davenant House Sojourn weeks are designed to help train Christian undergraduates and church groups in Christian wisdom. We will live, work, eat, pray, read, and converse together. Each day consists of morning and evening prayer, time allocated for quiet reading, prayer and study, talks given to guide further discussion and contemplation of key texts, some free recreation time to enjoy the property and amenities, and time spent in community on the work necessary to maintain the atmosphere of feasting and learning. 

We will be studying selections of Scripture along with excerpts from various readings all geared toward examining the right ordering of our affections, thereby ordering our relationships with God, creation, family, church, neighbor, community, and nation. You will walk away with a clearer picture of the path of wisdom and its principles from God’s Word to apply to your own life as well as in your engagement with the current challenges faced more broadly in our society, culture, and world.

This 5 day program is offered at the low price of $275. This cost includes all meals, teaching, and overnight accommodations.

The weeks we run this in December and May are designed for young adults and college students. But Christian wisdom is needed by and applies to everyone! If you are a campus or church group interested in bringing a group for this program, we would love to host you and the material will be tailored to the group you are bringing, whether a wide age range or a group that is older or younger than undergraduates. Please contact our director, Michael Hughes, for scheduling, group pricing, or more information at m.hughes@davenanthouse.org.

Cost: $275
