This is a live, in-person retreat available for your church or group.
Sometimes it's as if the life we've been seeking has managed to elude us. The Hidden Life Retreat is a deep dive into the Gospel itself — exploring what it means to live in the fullness of what God has given us. These sessions were the foundation for the book of the same name, and bring those ideas to life in a rich, communal setting.
The retreat is organized around four aspects of God's Great GIFT:
G — Grace — God's power and desire to do good to you, undiluted by anything you do
I — Identity — discovering the amazing transformative power of the Gospel
F — Faith — learning to trust God in the seasons when life feels elusive
T — Training — practical principles for overcoming deception with God's truth
Whether you've read the book or are coming to these ideas for the first time, this retreat offers an experience of the Gospel that goes beyond information to transformation.

David Megill
David Megill is a pastor, conference speaker, and writer with a story that spans three continents. He leads Focus Church and has spent decades helping people discover that they matter to God through books that bring encouragement, hope, and laughter to the journey of faith.
Our community college's local Cru (Campus Crusade) chapter sponsored the Hidden Life Conference, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. We have members from a wide variety of denominations and theological perspectives, but the practical and Biblical emphasis on grace was relevant for them all. The encouraging tone of the conference was particularly helpful as well.
The Journey is a non-denominational church in Albuquerque. We loved having David come teach the Hidden Life Conference. It was engaging and relevant to our community of believers. David is a creative communicator and has an authentic love for people. I would recommend David for all age groups.
As a strong proponent of identity based discipleship, I was very encouraged by the Hidden Life conference led by David Megill. I highly recommend this content as a thorough foundation for the incredible theology of justification but also as a very encouraging refresher to those who may be in danger of losing their first love.
Pastor David and "The Hidden Life" Conference was a joy to host at Christ Lutheran church and School. The material was well presented. Our youth enjoyed and appreciated the interaction between Pastor David and them. We would highly recommend other churches to host this conference. It a wonderful experience of applying our Christian faith to our every day lives so we can live life to the fullest for Christ.
I thought the conference hit people right where they were at... whether it be struggling in their walk with God or in great communion with Him, everyone walked away with great practical knowledge that they could put into practice
