Jenn Jett Barrett
Eden Lead Facilitator

An apprentice of Jesus, a teacher and a spiritual mentor, Jenn spends her days restoring God’s original intent for men and women to live loved and unleashed as they co-labor together to bring the Kingdom near. Her burden is in response to growing up in a faith tradition where knowledge of God’s word was more valued than being transformed by God’s word. Living loved by the author of the transforming Word and with the power of the Spirit, has radically changed her life.

She is the founder of The Well Summit which exists to cultivate discipleship experiences that guide fellow saints as they journey towards living in union with Jesus, unity with one another and living unleashed to bring the Kingdom near. She also serves on the teaching team at Samaritan Church Springdale. Jenn lives a simple and full life in Northwest Arkansas with her amazing husband, Rhett.

The Journey Home Retreat is a safe place to lay aside your responsibilities at home and work to simply be souls before God. The reality for all of us is that even when we are in a healthy season, we long for more, relationally.

During The Journey Home Retreat you’ll experience:

Relationally safe environments conducive for souls (which are very shy) to open up to love
A reformation of your own emotional image of God
Resources that will deepen all your relationships
Guided practices to help you live more at home in the love of God

I was impacted by the depth of God's love for me. I have known that in my head, and experienced his kindness, but something about the combination of experiencing God come to me in specific ways in this relational, intentional space opened a deeper level of experiential knowing in me.
