unlearn quiet time
Ready to stop reading her words and start learning His?
Turn your Quiet Time into the kind of study time that is full of light-bulb moments and transform your mornings forever.
Welcome to The Retreat Experience
What if I told you that you can take the guesswork out of your quiet time? That you can learn the nuances of God's voice and the unique way that He speaks to you? And that you can dig deeply into Scripture entirely on your own, while also leaving a legacy of learning for the generations who follow after you?
That's exactly what I'm going to teach you to do. Together, we're going to unlearn the quiet time shortcuts that have held you back. And I'll equip you with everything you need to transform your morning from quiet time reading to morning Scripture studying.
Right now, you might be struggling with:
(no judgement, I've been there)
1.
The Bible Blank Stare: you open your Bible in the morning and have no idea where to read.
2.
The Devotional Diet: you take five minutes to read a devotional every morning and that is it.
3.
Other People’s Words: you’re reading more of them than God’s Word itself.
4.
In-Depth Bible Studies: you're swinging from one to another and don't know how to quiet time without one.
guess what?
I struggled with
the same things.
Hi, I'm Jane. And I know what it's like to be stuck in a quiet time that isn't working. I know the craving to know God's Word but not be sure how to learn it without an in-depth Bible study to guide me.
I know what it's like to be a waiting-woman for years, unable to see myself in the traditionally male-authored commentaries about barren women in the Bible.
So I took matters into my own hands.
I decided to teach myself how to look at word definitions, figure out what parsing is, where to find a cross-reference. And in the process? I not only learned the Bible in a way I never thought possible. I also learned to recognize God's voice speaking to me through His Word directly to my unique life story.

Can I tell you a secret?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the most basic tools for a strategic quiet time is also often one of the most overlooked.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Bible reading plan isn’t just a list of passages to read or a type-A lover’s dream of a checklist to mark off. Every one of those daily passages serve as a stepping stone into the general vicinity of your morning reading. And every time your spirit pulls at a word, or your eyes flit to a cross-reference?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THAT’S when the Holy Spirit is tailoring the reading plan to you and your right-now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the first stop in learning to recognize the nuances of God’s voice speaking to you, if you let it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment “plan” and I’ll DM you a link to download my favorite Bible reading plan!
The last quarter of my year took a sharp turn toward rest a few weeks ago when God dropped two distinct words heavily into the core of my spirit: fallow ground.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As soon as He did, I went digging to see what the Bible had to say about them. I was shocked to find it tucked in with the law of Sabbaths in Exodus 23, and not for any other reason besides the fact that I had never paid attention to the fact that God commanded TWO types of Sabbaths. Turns out, the weekly Sabbath that we are all familiar with? It’s the second. The first? The one that sets the precedent and lays the groundwork? It’s the seventh-YEAR Sabbath.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce,” God said in Exodus 23:10-11, “but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The short version of the fallow ground story? It’s not a barren, bare, or otherwise unplanted field that’s sitting out there in its bare dirt clumps.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s fertile ground left uncultivated.
It’s letting something lay that’s working well, producing well, growing well, and flourishing.
It’s releasing all ownership to any of its produce and letting anyone come and take of it freely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s something you and I are entirely control of. God commands it, yes. And, like anything else, it’s up to us to do it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the long version of the story (including how I came to take all of this VERY literally)? That’s too much to fit here. You can read the full-length post on my blog:

Went sent our baby girl off to kindergarten this morning, alongside her big 1st and 3rd-grade brothers. But, as many of you know with this youngest baby milestone, it’s not just sending her off. It’s tying up the bow on toddlerhood and the years of baby-raising and little ones and three hours of sleep and fighting for every nap.
We’ve potty-trained, paci-weaned, ditched car seats for boosters, and learned to swim. It’s been nearly nine years of not knowing what the heck I’m doing alongside middle-of-the-night research, gut instinct following, endless desperate prayer for wisdom, and peeling clinging arms off of my neck because I know they are braver than they think they are.
That baby girl? She was the clingiest of all. All of preschool was marked by tearful drop-offs and swift exits. And this morning, in a brand new school with no one she knew, she showed me just how much she grew in the last year. She walked right into her classroom, sat in her chair, gave me a smile, and began to color.
I, as you might expect, cried the moment I climbed into my empty car. I expected that. I didn’t expect to see my tiny little fluff of a bird fly today. To see her so big. So confident. So fearless. So beautiful. But she puffed her chest and spread her wings the way that I always knew she could, and in her own little perfect, kindergartener timing.
If you need me, I’ll be basking in the silence of my clean home until further notice (or, at least, until 2:45 pickup).
