The month of June in particular can often feel like a time of tension, especially between the Body of Christ and secular LGBTQ+ spaces. If you're navigating that tension—personally or alongside someone you love—you’re not alone. Join Manny Gonzalez for a conversation that creates space for honest dialogue, offers practical tools, and speaks hope into the complexity.

Many of us have a close friend or family member with an LGBTQ+ experience. As Christians, walking alongside our loved ones can sometimes feel uncertain, complicated, or even intimidating. Join Manny Gonzalez, our Manager of Mission Partner Development, as he shares practical insights and helpful dos and don’ts from his 7 years of ministry experience for navigating these relationships with clarity and compassion.

To celebrate 9 YEARS of Eden Invitation, we hosted a "State of the Garden" with all of you, our Magdalene Givers! Tune in to Anna Carter (President & Co-Founder) and Manny Gonzalez (Manager of Mission Partner Development) as they dive into the previous year, the year ahead, and offer Q&A.

We are excited to announce that Emmanuel "Manny" Gonzalez has joined the Eden Invitation Staff as our Manager of Mission Partner Development! In December we hosted a "Get to Know You" Q&A with Manny for an opportunity to hear more of his story and to get to know a bit more about him. Tune in to learn more about Manny.

Our Pilgrim Longing Retreat was AMAZING! We had over 100 retreatants-- members of the Eden Invitation community as well as many new faces looking to learn about us and to encounter Christ. This time around we chatted LIVE with a few retreat attendees and a member of our pastoral team about their experiences on the 2025 Pilgrim Longing Retreat! Watch to learn more about their experiences on retreat and the impact of Eden Invitation in their lives and the Church.
