Renovare LogoRenovaré International Institute
for Christian Spiritual Formation

The Renovaré Institute is a 2-year program designed to put its participants in a position to live fully in the Kingdom of God, whatever their life circumstances may be, increasingly manifesting the character and power of the Kingdom throughout the contemporary world. It is a rigorous and demanding course of studies and development, as one should expect the path of discipleship to Jesus Christ to be. The outcome gives substance to the high calling of Christ that far too often is only sung about and fitfully dreamed of.

Applications are now being accepted for the next sessions which will begin on August 1, 2012 in Santa Barbara, CA, and August 1, 2013 in London,England. The Institute is directed by Dr. Gary Moon, with instructors including Mindy Caliguire, Trevor Hudson, Jan Johnson, Keith Matthews, James Bryan Smith, Chris Web and Dallas Willard. To learn more about the Institute, we have a brochure available for you to view on-line, or please e-mail pam@renovare.us. The final application deadline for the 2012 cohort is May 1st.

Downloadable Application and Admission Checklist.

Hear Dr. Willard's most recent interview on KKLA's Frank Pastore Show from Friday, January 6th.

Topics include:

  1. Why there needed to be an Incarnation.
  2. Understanding the will, both the impulsive and the reflective, and the role the will plays in discipline.
  3. If you learn the key to keeping New Year's Resolutions, that same key will free you up to live the "easier" Christian life, with far less effort. The key is getting the vision of what you want to be and how you want to live.

Dr. Willard's series of interviews from the past few years on the Frank Pastore Show are also available in our Resource section. Topics discussed include the presence of evil in the world, the history of Spiritual Formation, and why there is a hell.

 

 

 

 

 


To fulfill the high calling which God has placed upon us in creating us and redeeming us, we must have the right inner substance or character. We must come to grips with who we really are, inside and out. For we will do what we are. So we will need to become the kind of people who routinely and easily walk in the goodness and power of Jesus our Master. [More]
