<strong>Location</strong>: The Cove of Lake Geneva,  Wisconsin

<strong>The theme this year will be “Uncensored Christianity”.   </strong>Ever struggled with feeling like your prayers have to be perfect, because if you don’t say the right kind of things God will tune you out? Are there things you’ve always wanted to ask or say to God, but haven’t because you’re afraid God will reject you?   The truth is God wants to have totally honest conversations with you, and you can say anything you want.  No topic, language, or feeling is inappropriate.Come with us as we spend the weekend in Lake Geneva finding a way to get past all of the “shoulds” of religion so we can enter into a truly, scandalously honest relationship with God. We want to learn to relish the high times, low times, questions, answers, and all the other dynamics of what we call Christianity.Our keynote speaker is <a title="Facilitators &amp; Speakers" href="http://midwestoutlawretreat.wordpress.com/facilitators-speakers/">Joy Wilson</a>, the author of <a href="http://store.civitaspress.com/books/193" target="_blank"><em>Uncensored Prayer: The Spiritual Practice of Wrestling With God</em></a><em>,</em> who will show us through her poetry how being open and honest in her conversations with God has transformed her understanding of Him/Her, and immensely expanded her understanding of what it means to have faith.  Also, there will be a session with the homeless advocate and artist, Revolución MacInnes.

Who are Outlaw Preachers?  An eclectic group of Jesus followers whose interests and ministries often aren’t traditional. You are an Outlaw is you say you are, preacher or not. Registration is only $25, which includes a Chicago style pizza dinner on Friday night and a Breakfast together on Sunday morning.
