Forged in Fire Marriage Conference  

“Strength through adversity.  The strongest steel is forged by the hottest fires.  It is pounded and struck repeatedly…The fire gives it power and flexibility, and the blows give it strength.  Those two things make it able to withstand every battle….”   

-Sherrilyn Kenyon  

Forged in fire is a saying or expression, metaphorically used to describe something or someone that has been through difficult or challenging experiences, which has resulted in greater strength and resilience. God asks us to rejoice when we go through trials because it can build Godly character in us and a refining of our flesh. Marriage can certainly feel like a process of being forged in the fire leading to refinement. This retreat is designed to give hope, strength, resiliency, and tools for this refinement process.
