ETL is a non-profit Christian ministry created to sharpen those that God has called into a life of service. We accomplish this mission through retreats, discipleship, and leadership development.

Our heroes are facing unseen battles

But Hope is Available.

How is ETL Changing Lives?

  • Retreats

    By the end of 2025, Enter the Lion will have hosted 17 transformative retreats across 5 states—each offered completely free of charge. More locations in new states are coming soon!

  • Fruit

    We have seen men surrender their lives to Jesus, addictions broken, marriages restored, and countless lives transformed by His power and grace. These are the undeniable fruits of Christ’s healing and redemption at work.

  • Growth

    We are passionate about raising up leaders empowered by Christ to carry this ministry model into their own communities, multiplying healing and hope far beyond where we can go ourselves.

  • Tools

    ETL offers a weekly devotional podcast alongside a range of spiritual resources designed to encourage, equip, and strengthen our community in their daily walk with Christ.

  • Legacy

    When a man is healed by Christ, the blessing extends far beyond him—impacting his family, his department, and his entire community. This is the power of generational transformation rooted in the gospel.

  • Hope

    ETL’s growth is driven by word-of-mouth transformation. When men return home changed, the impact is undeniable — coworkers, friends, and family take notice. What they see in these men isn’t just improvement — it’s hope.

Help us bring the healing power of the gospel to Warriors across our country.

The cost to cover one warrior’s full retreat experience—including travel—is approximately $1,200. We are committed to keeping every retreat completely free so that cost is never a barrier to healing. Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring a warrior or even an entire retreat to help bring hope and restoration to those who serve?

Enter the Lion is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all gifts are tax-deductible. But more importantly—your gift makes an eternal impact.
