WELCOME

We are so thankful for the opportunity to journey alongside you in your development as a leader. God meets us in unexpected and beautiful ways when we intentionally enter into growth. We hope that you walk away from this experience with a better understanding of yourself and the barriers to your leadership. 

We will provide you with the tools for this experience but it will be up to you to implement them well. We have built this experience to guide you. Each part of the Intensive is like a building block and each block is purposely and intentionally placed and designed. Each aspect of this experience is made for you to intentionally engage in. 

Know that there is an enemy that wants to thwart this process. He wants to disrupt, cause doubt, and cause distrust in this process. There is incredible power in recognizing God’s work in your life and truly owning your testimony and story. The enemy would love to mess that all up for you. Pray against that as you go through this process in the name of Jesus. We trust God’s sovereignty in this and we are praying for God to meet you. Allow the spirit to guide you and speak to you. We encourage you to come into this experience willing, expectant for God to move and be mindful of your expectations.

We believe God has something for you in this and we are excited for the work He will do.

PREPARATION

CHOOSE A LOCATION

Pray about the place you need to be for the ROGO School Intensive. We highly encourage you to complete Intensive in a space where you can disconnect from regular life, routine, distraction, responsibilities, and life’s demands (i.e. chores, work, etc.). This may mean you stay in a hotel/Air BnB out of town. You know yourself best, so you know if you would be tempted to do chores, care for the kids, or hop on your work email. 

Whatever you feel could be a temptation or distraction, do your best to eliminate that this weekend. How you prepare the space for yourself matters. Feel free to be creative! Think of the space as a sacred space and time for you and God to meet and spend time together. What kind of space would you most enjoy talking to your Heavenly Father?
