An Invitation To Our Women's Christian Weekend

It's time for women to embrace what it means to be truly feminine. The Crucible Project offers a Christian Women's Weekend designed to challenge, honor, and restore your unique feminine soul. We hope you'll join us for this dynamic experience. Discover how God can breathe life into your strength, beauty, tenderness, and passion.

What do we do on the Weekend?

You’ll look at what’s working in your life—and what’s not. 

• You’ll discover why you freeze and hide, even at the cost of missed opportunities.
• You’ll understand why you run and fight, even while pushing away the support you desperately need.
• You’re invited to face the hard places you’ve been avoiding, so you can be free.

My life is pretty messed up right now. Should I wait to come at a better time?

As women, we carry a lot. “Messed up” can be experiencing pain for a child or friend, anger at a spouse, unresolved conflict, internal unrest, lack of hope, sadness, unforgiveness, or grief. We all carry wounds from life encounters that leave deep scars. We hope the Crucible for Women gives you freedom, clarity, and a path forward. Whatever your mess, you are welcome on the weekend retreat.

Why do I need to face this stuff?

Our experience is that the greatest freedom happens when we face our true selves—including the most challenging parts to look at—considering God’s irresistible kindness. Meeting the hard places allows Him to heal, restore and celebrate the unique creation that is YOU.

Are women honored on these Christian Weekends?

Absolutely. God created women with extraordinary uniqueness—we are life-givers and encouragers who are tender, tenacious, and wise. We possess a uniquely feminine ability to lead with purpose, passion, and power from the heart. This weekend, you’ll reclaim the gift of womanhood. Be a woman who can freely bless others and be a force for God’s goodness. It’s how we change ourselves. It’s how we change the world.

Are you up for the challenge of a radical, heart-shifting experience and hungry for deep, life-giving relationships with yourself and other women? Join us.

We invite you to experience radical grace, no matter what. Weekends fill up quickly, so register today.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Who goes to these weekends?

The participants who come on our weekends want to experience truth and grace in a community of other people of faith living in an authentic faith-living community. They have the courage to take off their masks and honestly explore what is and what is not working in their lives and to cut through the false pretenses that keep them from leaving a legacy to impact in our world, like Jesus did (1 Corinthians 16: 13-14).

Is the weekend only for Christians or can anyone attend?

The Crucible Weekend is designed for participants who are actively living out their Christian faith as well as anyone who may be wrestling with faith or doubting God. Participants of no faith, and other faiths, who are tolerant to biblical references have reported that they received great benefit from participating in the weekend.

What time does the retreat begin and end?

Participants should arrive at the retreat site on Friday between 6:45 and 7:00 PM, local time, at the retreat facility. Retreats end at or before 3:00 PM on Sunday, in the retreat site's time zone.

What does the price for the retreat include?

Registration includes housing, meals (Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner; Sunday breakfast and lunch), and on-site materials. Participants are assigned an individual bed in a shared room with other participants. Room sizes vary site to site. You will be guided in an impactful experiential retreat with opportunities for individualized, grace-filled experiences. You will also receive three free group sessions after the retreat.

What is not included in the price of the retreat?

The price for the retreat does not include travel to and from the retreat, though we encourage you to carpool with other participants and assist with carpool coordination. Travel-related meals are not included. Please note that dinner on Friday is not included, participants should eat prior to their arrival.

Can I leave if I decide it’s not for me?

All participation is voluntary. You are free to decide for yourself what is best, whether to pass on any process or exercise, or leave if you desire. Since the weekend is designed to be challenging, you may experience times when you would rather be somewhere else — just like in life, your job, your relationships and other responsibilities. A key to any growth is not running away but pushing through the limits, fears or truths you may have been avoiding. The participants who persevere are glad they did.
