Cultivating Home Retreat
October 16-18 • Edwardsville, Illinois
A sacred invitation to bring your healing home.
A 3-day Women's Retreat to Cultivate Healing Within the Walls of Home
A restorative retreat for women who are ready to cultivate truth, safety, and redemption within the walls of their homes—one faithful practice at a time.
This retreat is not about doing more.
It's about allowing what God has already been cultivating in you to take root in the place where everyday life happens.
It's about bringing your healing home.
Why The Home Matters
Home is one of our most vulnerable spaces. It is where our defenses come down, old patterns can quietly resurface, and what we truly believe is lived out in the ordinary moments of everyday life.
But that is also what makes home such sacred ground.
Cultivating Home is an invitation to recognize and combat the spiritual warfare that seeks to keep us bound—and to learn to live in the fullness of who God created us to be, right within the walls of our homes.
Our homes are where:
Old patterns can be recognized—and new ones cultivated
Safety is practiced in real time
Truth moves from something we know to something we live
The freedom Jesus is cultivating in us can begin shaping those around us
Because healing deepens when it becomes something we live—not simply something we've learned.

The Framework That Guides the
Cultivating Home Retreat
This retreat is structured around the same six movements of Cultivating Redemption—now brought into the everyday rhythms and relationships of home.
Healing D.E.E.P.E.R. doesn't end within you—it flows through you and into the spaces and relationships you've been entrusted to cultivate.
D = Develop Awareness (The Atmosphere of the Home)
Becoming aware of the emotional, spiritual, and relational patterns quietly shaping everyday life.
E = Establish a Safe Place (Creating Emotional & Spiritual Safety)
Learning what safety looks like in our relationships, rhythms, words, and responses.
E = Examine Fear (What Fear Has Taught Us To Protect)
Recognizing where fear may be influencing control, avoidance, striving, or the way we respond to those closest to us.
P = Process Who God Is (Living From What Is True)
Discovering how what we believe about God shapes the way we love, lead, discipline, rest, and trust within our homes.
E = Explore New Depths (Practicing Presence and Peace)
Moving from survival rhythms into restorative ones as we learn to cultivate the presence and peace of Jesus in everyday life.
R = Redeem Brokenness (Restoration Without Erasure)
Allowing Jesus to redeem what has been broken—honoring our stories while cultivating something different for the generations that follow.

Crystal Persons
About 10 years into marriage and ministry, Jesus chased me down and made it clear He wanted my whole heart—not just the put-together parts. I was terrified, uncertain of whether the church would accept us if my past was brought into the light.
By God's grace, I SAW NO OTHER OPTION APART FROM SURRENDER.
I grew up in the church. I was a Bible college graduate. And yet, I had no idea how to lead from a place of vulnerability. My husband and I ventured into this unknown space together, each surrendering our own stories for God's redemptive purposes.
Over the years, we have not only been met with acceptance, but with more grace and support through the body of Christ than we ever could have imagined. The evidence became undeniable—THE ENEMY IS A LIAR, and shame and condemnation had kept us captive for far too long.
But Jesus didn't redeem our stories simply for us.
His healing began changing the way we lived within the walls of our home—the way we loved, led, listened, forgave, and created space for one another to be known.
Because what Jesus heals in us has the power to change what we cultivate around us.
Grandmothers, mothers, daughters...we have territory to reclaim for the Kingdom of God. Our homes are not insignificant in that battle. They are some of the most sacred places where truth can replace lies, safety can replace fear, and the freedom of Jesus can take root in everyday life.
The Gospel comes alive as Jesus redeems our darkest places for His glory and our good—and then invites us to live differently because of it.
No more hiding the imperfect parts. No more allowing the enemy to have territory Jesus came to redeem.
JESUS DESIRES TO USE OUR UTTERMOST BROKENNESS FOR HIS UTTERMOST GLORY—AND LET THAT REDEMPTION RESHAPE OUR HOMES.
