Discipleship Weekend

August 30 - September 2, 2025

Boone Lake, Tennessee

“"Whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked."

1 John 2:5

A Weekend to Pursue Jesus with our Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength.

Luke 10:27

What to expect.

Each morning and evening, you’ll spend unhurried time in personal devotion, meditating on God’s Word (Psalm 1).

Throughout the weekend, we’ll gather together as a group for:

  • Devotionals and reflection

  • Worship and prayer

  • The teaching of God’s Word

  • An evening house church gathering

  • Adventures in God’s creation

Together, we’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus in every area of life—as husbands, fathers, first responders, servicemen, and brothers in Christ—empowered by His Spirit and grounded in His Word

This retreat isn’t a vacation.

It’s a call to intentionally and intensely pursue our Lord and our God Jesus Christ. To walk as He walked, abide in Him deeply, and put Him at the center of everything.

If you're hungry to go deeper in your faith, to be challenged, stretched, and equipped to walk like Jesus in your everyday life—this retreat is for you.


Space is limited.

To keep this retreat personal, intentional, and impactful, we’re limiting it to just 5 guests.
That means deep connection, real conversation, and no getting lost in big groups.

The Location

We’ll be gathering at a peaceful home on Boone Lake in East Tennessee, surrounded by God’s beauty.
Enjoy:

- Kayaks, canoes, and swimming

- Peaceful outdoor spaces

- Evenings by the fire

- Space for honest conversation and deep brotherhood
