Welcome to the Crucible Project Community
Congratulations and welcome to the Crucible Project Community! You have done what few ever attempt. You felt the heat, faced the fire, and found your gold. You have what it takes! Thanks for beginning your Christ-centered soul work journey with the Crucible ministry!
Continue Your Journey
When I completed my initial retreat in January 2009, I knew I needed to get into a group to continue to integrate the new truth about myself into every part of my life. With the support of my group, my relationships with my wife, children, coworkers, church, community, and God continue to improve. Continue your journey in a group of authentic Christ-following members of the Crucible Community. If you are looking for a group, or want to become a group leader, check out:

Other ways that you can continue your journey can be found at TheCrucibleProject.org/Redwoods. There you can apply to volunteer staff an upcoming weekend, which many experience as even more powerful than their initial weekend. You can also learn how to register for a Second Level Retreat and connect with a Crucible Coach.
Connect Online
In the meantime, you can find The Crucible Project on social media. The Crucible Project Sisterhood is a WhatsApp community created exclusively for Redwood Women like you. We also have a private Redwood Women's Community on Facebook. You can also follow and share our public Facebook and Instagram accounts. An app designed specifically for Redwoods is scheduled to be released this fall.
No One Left Behind
Will you INVITE? If you're like me, when I returned home following my retreat, I had several people in mind to invite to upcoming retreats. I believe everyone needs to experience the radical honesty and grace of our weekend. I pray that you will boldly provide opportunities to the women and men in your sphere of influence to receive the powerful, transformative work God is doing through this ministry.
Will you CONNECT? In Fiscal Year 2026, 1,063 souls touched a piece of their shadow and experienced the scandalous grace of God at one of our retreats. Over 300 Redwoods (alumni) continued their journey through one of our Second Level Weekends. More than 1,300 volunteers helped participants face the fire and find their gold. Don't do life alone. Connect with your fellow Redwood women, reconnect with those from your weekend, join a group, and participate in your local community's events and activities. Don't let any Redwood you know slip through the cracks and go back to how they were living before.
Will you GIVE? This ministry directly impacted 2,414 souls last fiscal year. The actual cost per participant per weekend was $817 due to rising inflation and retreat site increases. That means generous Redwoods financially supported each of the 1,063 participants with an average of $87 for every full-paying participant. Many participants on the retreat you attended also required additional financial assistance to attend. In fact, The Crucible Project awarded $106,470 in financial assistance for initial retreats last fiscal year.
Your Contributions Have Rippling Impacts!
We know from post-weekend surveys, graduation ceremonies, and post-weekend groups that our work has a ripple effect impacting marriages, families, churches, workplaces, and communities. There is no way to accurately estimate the total number of people indirectly impacted by your support!
Will YOU Join With Redwoods Who Are Paying It Forward?
If you donated the average price of a latte each week, roughly $25 a month would fund one new full-paying participant while also helping provide the financial assistance we need as we continue to grow. You may not be in a financial position to do that today, or you may feel blessed to give even more. Whatever your situation, please prayerfully consider what you can contribute so finances are never a barrier to anyone experiencing the radical honesty and grace found through one of our retreats.
You can set up a monthly, tax-deductible contribution online at TheCrucibleProject.org/Donate or mail a monthly check to:

As a token of appreciation, Roy will send you a small gift that may become a meaningful conversation starter as you share The Crucible Project with others. With each subsequent donation, you'll also receive updates about how your generosity is impacting lives.
Here for You!
Again, congratulations and welcome to the Crucible Community! Please be in prayer for the Crucible ministry as I am for you. "Call on me. We all need somebody to lean on." Let me know how we can support your soul work journey!
Continuing the journey,
