In collaboration with Lutheran Men in Mission
An Immersive Weekend to Reclaim Purpose, Brotherhood, and Faith
What would change if you lived as if you only had one year left?
The One Year to Live Men’s Retreat is a powerful, 45-hour spiritual experience designed to meet men exactly where they are in life. Whether you feel like you need this retreat desperately or believe you’re doing just fine, this weekend has a way of breaking through distractions and calling men into deeper purpose, authentic connection, and renewed faith in Christ.
This is not a passive retreat. It is a spiritual boot camp—challenging, honest, and transformative. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it is absolutely worth it.
What to Expect
Men of all ages long for real friendships and a closer walk with Christ. During this retreat, you will be invited to be:
- Adventurous and courageous
- Genuine and spiritually open
- Fully present and engaged
You’ll experience a weekend of:
- Banding together with other men and being challenged
- Examining your life honestly and making meaningful decisions
- Growing in faith through intentional teaching, reflection, and brotherhood
This is a space to strip away distractions, confront what matters most, and leave with clarity and conviction for the life ahead.
