Men's Retreats - (per Person)

Salt and Light Recruiting Men’s Retreat

Our Foundational Verse: 1 Corinthians 16:13–14

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.”

This is not a passive suggestion. It is a charge to men.

The Salt and Light Men’s Retreat is anchored in this command — calling men to stand firm, live boldly, lead faithfully, and love sacrificially.

Renewing Strength. Reclaiming Purpose. Reigniting Brotherhood.

In a world that weakens conviction and isolates men, this retreat creates sacred space to reconnect with your Heavenly Father, sharpen your identity, and strengthen your calling.

The Purpose of the Men’s Retreat

Rebuilding Your Life on the Right Foundation

Before leadership, success, career, or influence — there must be alignment with God.

Men cannot lead well horizontally if they are not grounded vertically.

§       Matthew 6:33 – “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…”

§       James 4:7–8 – “Submit yourselves, then, to God… Come near to God and He will come near to you.”

§       Psalm 127:1 – “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”

This retreat will help men:

• Reestablish spiritual priorities.
• Evaluate the foundation they are building on.
• Replace drift with discipline.
• Move from complacency to conviction.

Strong homes. Strong churches. Strong communities.
All begin with spiritually grounded men.

Renewing Your Identity as a Biblical Man

Culture is confused about masculinity.
Scripture is not.

§       Micah 6:8 – “Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.”

§       1 Corinthians 11:1 – “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”

§       Philippians 2:3–4 – “Do nothing out of selfish ambition… look to the interests of others.”

Biblical masculinity is not domination.  It is strength under authority.
It is courage wrapped in humility.  It is leadership rooted in love.

Men will examine:

• The difference between cultural manhood and biblical manhood.
• The dangers of passivity.
• The power of servant leadership.
• How Christ defines strength.

Breaking Generational Patterns — Building Generational Legacy

Some men are carrying generational faithfulness.  Others are carrying generational dysfunction.

The Gospel redeems both.

§       Ezekiel 18:20 – “The one who sins is the one who will die…” (personal responsibility)

§       Joshua 24:15 – “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

§       2 Timothy 2:2 – “Entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”

§       Psalm 78:4 – “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.”

Legacy is not accidental.  It is chosen. 

This retreat will challenge men to:

• Identify unhealthy cycles.
• Take ownership of their leadership.
• Establish a new spiritual direction for their families.
• Become intentional disciplers in their homes and churches.

• One obedient man can redirect an entire bloodline.

Training Men to Be Kingdom Warriors

The Christian life is not passive. It is battle.

§       Ephesians 6:11 – “Put on the full armor of God…”

§       2 Corinthians 10:3–5 – “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world…”

§       1 Timothy 6:12 – “Fight the good fight of the faith.”

§       Psalm 144:1 – “He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”

Men will learn how to:

• Guard their minds and hearts.
• Resist temptation.
• Lead courageously in hostile environments.
• Stand firm without compromising truth.

Kingdom warriors fight differently.  They fight with truth, integrity, prayer, and love.

Restoring Brotherhood and Accountability

Isolation is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons against men.

God designed men for brotherhood.

§       Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 – “Two are better than one… If either falls, one can help the other up.”

§       Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

§       Hebrews 10:24–25 – “Let us consider how we may spur one another on…”

This retreat creates space for:

• Honest conversations.
• Accountability.
• Mentorship.
• Encouragement.
• Brotherhood forged through shared challenge.

• Men grow stronger together.

Reclaiming the Value of Work, Discipline, and Responsibility

God designed men to work — not merely for income, but for purpose.

§       Genesis 2:15 – “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden to work it and take care of it.”

§       Colossians 3:23–24 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart…”

§       Proverbs 14:23 – “All hard work brings a profit.”

Through physical challenges and shared projects, men will:

• Sweat together.
• Problem-solve together.
• Build resilience.
• Reignite discipline.

Shared labor builds respect.
Shared accomplishment builds confidence.
