A Study Guide

This study guide was created by Altar as a follow-up to your retreat experience.

While the retreat may have provided clarity, rest, and renewed perspective, the real work begins as you return to everyday life. Lasting transformation is not found in a single moment but in the rhythms and practices we choose to embrace over time.

Throughout your retreat, you reflected on your current season, identified areas that needed attention, and began shaping a Rule of Life—a framework of intentional practices designed to help you stay connected to God and aligned with what matters most.

This guide is an invitation to continue that journey.

As you work through these sessions, pay attention to the currents shaping your life. Notice where you are drifting, where old patterns are re-emerging, and where God may be inviting you to make small but meaningful adjustments.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is faithfulness.
