We’d like to invite you to a unique Men’s Retreat we have coming up this summer.
This three-night intensive at Bear Trap Ranch (https://beartrapranch.org) dives deep into the war of our desires, brokenness, and how that plays out in our most important relationships – starting with ourselves. I think of the apostle Paul saying, “I know what is good, but I do not know how to carry it out. I do what I do not want to do.”
As we step over pride, ego, and the pretending that everything’s fine we will begin to access the core wounding that has kept us “stuck” for so many years. This requires courage on your part to risk being known by other men. The disease of our pretense has kept us adrift in our relationships with God, our wives, girlfriends, family, and friends.
“Spirituality built on pretense is not spirituality at all.” Dr. Larry Crabb
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Led by men’s ministry veterans, Peter Kockelman, David Alvarez and friends, this retreat is for men who want to walk in deeper freedom with the Father, and to love more deeply in their relationships. We will take time to explore the relational and sexual challenges which persist in our lives despite our best efforts to change them, and we will be identifying and uprooting the lies and facing the shame which keep us from a life of courageous vulnerability.
Focusing on our core wounding and not getting stuck in “sin management” we will begin to experience the healing that we’ve tried to find through programs, strategies, disciplines, systems, and or learning more content.
Come and join us, and other brothers on the journey towards wholeness, in a uniquely intimate time of fellowship in which we fight, laugh and cry together with God, our perfect host, who wants to remind us of who we are in His eyes and who we were born to be.
