We create space for God to strengthen the souls of leaders and transform communities.
For 20 years, the Transforming Center has provided retreats, relationships, and resources for those who long to keep seeking God in the crucible of leadership.
Join us May 7th for our next Online Oasis
What’s Not Working? Transitions in the Life of Prayer
For those who are so often leading others in prayer, we will:
- Be honest about the challenge of attending to your own prayer life when public praying is such a significant part of your job
- Create space for being honest about what’s working and what’s not working in your own prayer life.
- Provide inspiration and guidance for saying yes to God’s invitation to deeper intimacy in prayer
12:00-1:30 CST
$49 (+ processing fee) per attendee with group rates available.


We invite leaders in and outside the Church to experience what happens when they practice ancient, sacred rhythms in the context of a safe and loving community. From 2-day retreats to 2-year journeys, we offer immersive training experiences on spiritual formation themes and practices with companions from diverse backgrounds and theological traditions.

Transforming Resources® — We create books, podcasts, articles, and teachings designed to guide and support your spiritual journey, equipping and empowering you to lead others.
The Podcast
The best thing you bring to leadership is your own transforming self.
The Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership podcast is a lively conversation about transforming leadership. Ruth Haley Barton helps us discover how to forge and maintain a life-giving connection with God in the crucible of ministry.
