"I came to Kalein@Round Cove in a place of exhaustion and frustration, and left so refreshed and encouraged.  I learned how to rest and dream again.  It was such a beautiful and peaceful place and the one on one time with you was unbelievable.  Thanks for making yourself available to guys like me and sharing the massive amount of knowledge you have with me (and your cooking skills...the food was amazing!).  It has already impacted my ministry and personal life in a huge way." -Joel Bowder (St. Louis, MO) Twitter: @jbowder

"I needed to make some huge changes in my life this year. I turned to Randy Elrod (@recreate) to help me push the big reset button and zone in on my passions and talents. We met at Round Cove near Winchester, Tennessee, which is the perfect backdrop to dream and re-energize. We talked a lot about the practical ways of fulfilling the dreams I have for my family and me. The time and money spent for this One-on-One weekend were well worth it. I’m still processing everything we discussed and the answers to the hard questions Randy asked are still unfolding. I’ve never been happier, and I’ve put my talents and passions to work in creative ways that are generating multiple revenue streams and enabling me to live a much better, less-crazy life. Thanks Randy!" – David Ballard (Fort Smith, AR) Twitter: okjedi and letsroar

"I had the privilege of spending time with Randy Elrod this summer for some "1 on 1 Mentoring".  To say that our time together had a huge impact would be an understatement.  Randy has a way of listening and coaching that opens your eyes to seeing so many things.  Several months later, and I'm still wrestling through the things we uncovered and can't wait for our next time of mentoring". -Fred McKinnon (St. Simons Island, GA) Twitter: fmckinnon

"My mentoring session with Randy Elrod was wonderful. A great time to just let my thoughts loose with no strings attached. He really helped me to change my ministry thought process. He also totally changed the way I was thinking about taking a sabbatical. The time we spent together will go down as a benchmark in my ministry career. His ministry experience, people experience, and overall church experience gave a great frame of reference for our discussions. He is an incredibly “safe place” to process thoughts and ideas."  -Richard Wentz (Little Rock, AR) Twitter: rwentz

“It is amazing how Randy can sit with you and make you feel like you are the only one that exists.  My "One-on-One" mentoring time was a great opportunity to open up about life and ministry without fear of being judged or preached at.  Randy has open ears, an open heart and loves people.” -Louis Tagliaboschi (Bowling Green, KY) Twitter: louistag

Wine & Chocolate Tasting To Benefit Little Liam Thiessen

I will be hosting a benefit wine/chocolate tasting to benefit Liam Thiessen, Sunday evening, May 31, 7pm at Sol On Main Restaurant in downtown Franklin, TN

Liam (pictured) was born in December 2008 with Down Syndrome. His Dad Jeremy has been in the artist mentoring group I lead for over eight years and plays drums for Centricity Recording Artist band DOWNHERE

Our mentoring group thought it would be a great idea to host a tasting. I will provide the wine and Brock Gill will bring chocolate from all over the world. (We will have soft drinks if you do not prefer wine.)

There is no set admission charge, but a donation of $10 or more is required to attend. All donations will go straight to Jeremy, Erin and Liam's Paypal account. There will be no middle man. ALL proceeds go directly to the Thiessen family to help with the additional medical costs and equipment.

First EVER Cave Wine Tasting at Kalein@Round Cove - A Moment In Time

Words cannot adequately describe the experience I had Saturday evening at Kalein@Round Cove. On the occasion of the first ever Kalein 48 Hours of Solitude "One On Ones" with David Ballard- he agreed to  break the solitude for a "once in a lifetime" experience.

We placed a beautiful table surrounded by candles and torches of fire in the 750,000+ cubic feet of the largest of several caves at Round Cove and celebrated the first-ever sacramental communion and wine tasting.

It was a sacred moment and one of the highlights of all our lives. A holy time. Accompanied by the natural music of all timbres of dripping water, we celebrated the mystery of the sacramental life. My dear friends, Dr. David  and Rhonda Kemp (who have believed and supported the dream-and now reality-of Kalein from the very beginning), my wife Chris, David Ballard and the owner of Round Cove and sharer of the reality called Kalein@Round Cove, Nordeck Thompson and I will never forget this moment of all moments.

Pictured below are Nordeck and I sharing the first toast and taste of an exquisite-and equal to the moment- 1997 Quintessa Wine that was brought as a gift from David and Rhonda to celebrate this moment.
