<Title>Day Two: Freedom of No Choice</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>1 Corinthians 9.16-17 (NLT) - “<em>Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach the Good News!If I were doing this on my own initiative, I would deserve payment. But I have no choice, for God has given me this sacred trust.”</em></p>
    <p>“There are different things that you think about when people are doing this to you. The first is, <em>I don’t like this. </em>The second is, <em>I wonder if I will get sick from everyone spitting on me? </em>So I tried to sing with my mouth closed. Finally, I thought, <em>Okay, God, if you want me to be spat on for you I’m willing, but if you can get them to stop, that’s okay, too!</em></p>
    <p>Through Tanya, my Russian translator, I said, ‘I have a message for you tonight. “God loves Novosibirsk.”‘ From that moment I felt God’s powerful energy flow through the auditorium. Some people still laughed and mocked, though by now many also listened. [...] Somehow the more they spat, the more compassion I felt for these broken and desperate kids. It was getting towards the end of the concert. I now felt I needed to say something. It didn’t seem like the kind of venue where I could speak openly about Jesus, but still I knew I had to.” (David Pierce, <em>Rock Priest</em>, p. 16)</p>
    <p>Preaching the gospel is a sacred trust given only to Christ’s disciples. They have “no choice” in the matter… there is no sign-up sheet, God doesn’t beg volunteers for their spare time nor flatter celebrities to leverage their platform. Christ’s disciples are compelled by God Himself to proclaim the Good News. No matter the circumstance, the obstacles, the risk, the hostility… they can’t help themselves but to preach salvation in Jesus. What is God’s message for you? for your city? for your school? God loves ____________________________! Pray for God’s message to be amplified!</p>

<Title>Unveiling the Power Within</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <h5><span>by David Hoffman</span></h5>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>Twelve of us sit in a circle on plastic chairs in an unadorned room, speaking uncommon truths: This is the power I see in you. This is the insight you bring to the group. I witness your burdens, and the ways they have made you stronger; your stories have given me strength in turn. What you describe as your tendency to say too much, I experience as your principled unwillingness to oversimplify. I see the potential in you, because you have taken the risk of sharing yourself. Your vulnerability has lifted the clouds from my own vision and set me free.</span><br><br><span>In other rooms nearby, similar conversations are underway, bringing UMBC’s winter 2017 STRiVE student leadership retreat to its emotional culmination. 56 UMBC students and five staff members have spent the previous days building communication skills, reflecting on our experiences and values, tackling group challenges, recognizing and honoring our differences, exploring ethical questions, and developing plans for positive change on campus. We have earned those frank, empowering Thursday night conversations through the kind of intensive, collaborative work that can banish everyday routines and bridge the distance between strangers and across roles. We had been strangers; now we are friends, and more: we are a community capable of action, strengthened by our compositional diversity in countless obvious ways.</span><br><br><span>It would be easy to view STRiVE as a departure from reality. The phrase “leadership retreat” suggests a temporary escape. But every time I serve as a STRiVE coach, I become a little more convinced that STRiVE helps unveil deep truths about ourselves and the human condition. As one of the participants put it last week, “the real STRiVE was within us all along.”</span><br><br><span>For most of us, most of the time, the background expectation by which we live is that we have little power over our destiny. The subtexts of our workplaces, classrooms, media and politics often tell a disempowering story: of people who have choices to make, but for whom the options are almost always defined by others; the lesser of evils as a way of life. We internalize a sense of ourselves as going through the motions and jumping through hoops, while the real action is always on the other side of a screen. How easily we dismiss our own depths and possibilities, and miss the ways each of us can hold the keys to each other’s liberation!</span><br><br><span>STRiVE surfaces our suppressed stories and harnesses their power, while simultaneously building skills in communication and community organizing. For participants unused to being taken so seriously as agents of their individual and collective destiny, the effect can be transformative. One participant shared last week that he had not imagined approaching his own life with such <em>intentionality</em>, but he was ready to start.</span><br><br><span>I’m with him. In this anxious and confusing moment in our national life, I’m ready to nurture a culture that can liberate the STRiVE within every one of us, and orient us to the collective power that comes from recognizing our burdens, and each other, as sources of profound insight and strength.</span>

<Title>Day One: What About Petra&#8217;s Rendition?</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Isaiah 50:5-7 (NIV) - “<strong><em></em></strong><em>I offered my back to those who beat me,</em><em>my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;</em> <em>I did not hide my face</em> <em>from mocking and spitting.</em> <em>Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,</em> <em>I will not be disgraced.</em> <em>Therefore have I set my face like flint,</em> <em>and I know I will not be put to shame.</em><em> “</em></p>
    <p>“I could see by the crowd that it was going to be a real confrontation… I wanted to show that I was not impressed with all these crazy people and that I was definitely not impressed with Satan, whose name I could hear them chanting.</p>
    <p>I decided to start the concert by singing a worship song, acappella. This is not the normal way to begin after a death metal band, but I tried my best to sound like Amy Grant as I launched into, ‘I love you, Lord and I lift my voice…’. I closed my eyes amid the screams of the crowd, and began to imagine beer bottles flying through the air… I shuddered as I envisioned someone jumping up on the stage and kicking me in the face with his heavy boot. It took all my courage to finish the song.</p>
    <p>As I opened my eyes and our band started their opening riff… I realized that people were spitting all over me.” (David Pierce, <em>Rock Priest</em>, p. 15)</p>
    <p>We may or may not be able to imagine ourselves in such a hostile environment where people are spitting on us because of our loyalty to Christ. But rather than focusing on yourself, fix your eyes on Christ today. Be amazed at what he did for us. All our sin, shame, hatred… he bore it all in his body and was crucified… and then He rose again so that we may live a new life in Him. Lift your voices!</p>
