Prayer Retreat

Joshua Luckett

Joshua Luckett is the Director of Junior High ministries at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church. He loves working with youth and guiding them to a life centered on wisdom and peace instead of performance. He attended the College of biblical studies in Houston, TX and is a licensed minister. He previously served as a Resident at Grace bible church in College Station, TX.

Mahlon Hight

Mahlon Hight lives in Dallas with her husband Fred and is formerly the Director of Congregational Care and Senior Adult Ministry at Preston Hollow PC. Now retired, Mahlon frequently facilitates small and large group experiences in faith formation and spiritual practices in the Dallas area. She is pleased to have the opportunity to co-facilitate this experience with her PHPC colleague, Josh Luckett. As a spiritual director Mahlon feels the importance of ongoing spiritual practice, particularly prayer, is essential for the ever-growing faith of Christians. Guiding people of faith in exploring a banquet of prayer options is an integral part of Mahlon’s call to ministry. For Mahlon, this retreat, in the beauty of Mo Ranch, hits the sweet spot of what it means to grow one’s faith by seeking a deeper relationship with the Creator.
