The times we’re living in aren’t easy, and nor will they become so. The Bible tells us that in the last days, everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Yet the question remains: will we stand, or will we crumble?

This year’s retreat theme, Unwavering, calls us to a faith that remains unshakable. It is an invitation to be so deeply rooted in Christ, so firmly grounded in His Word, that no trial, temptation, or pressure to compromise can move us. To be unwavering is not to claim perfection, but to pursue a life firmly planted in truth, anchored by genuine faith, and steadied through a living relationship with God.

In a world where compromise is easy and comfort is celebrated, we are called to a higher standard: Christ over comfort. Conviction over compromise. Faithfulness, even when it costs us. Our aim is not only to begin the journey with Jesus but to endure and finish strong—standing firm when it matters most.

In the end, by the grace of God, may we each be able to declare: “I did not flinch. I did not fold. I stood.”

Our theme verse for this year is found in Proverbs 10:25:

“When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.”

We invite you to join us October 30 to November 2, 2025, at the Lansing SDA Church for a weekend of worship, growth, and unshakable faith.

We look forward to standing together—Unwavering.
