In this week's episode, Chris and Christy sit down with Lighthouse staff member Jackie Jones, who is the Retreat Family Coordinator. In addition to talking about her obsession with Dolly Parton, the three talk in-depth about what it's like to attend a retreat as a Retreat Family—from how families learn about Lighthouse, through the application process, and then the retreat experience. Jackie shares what she loves about her role at Lighthouse, and Christy gives a behind-the-scenes look at what happens in the Common Ground room—the small group environment where Retreat Family parents gather each morning to share with each other. Jackie explains how a Lighthouse retreat is so much more than a vacation, and she shares what is required to apply to retreat, as well as the top three questions (and answers!) that she hears from families preparing to come on retreat.
