My first NextGen experience was I am sure, like many of yours… AMAZING. I showed up with very little information about the week, and walked away encouraged, refreshed, loved on and full. Over the NextGen years I have filled my ‘soul care’ bucket with so many new ways to worship, listen, pray, get creative and stretch myself. These are the exact things that I used in my sabbatical. I pulled out my notebooks and journals and began digging in.
