What is a Christian Men's Weekend?

The Crucible Weekends are Christian men's retreats designed to help you grow in your faith and become the man God created you to be. Throughout the weekend, you will have the opportunity to:

• Take a hard look at your life and identify areas where you need to grow.
• Learn new ways to live out your faith in your everyday life.
• Connect with other men who are on the same journey as you.
• Experience the power of God's love and forgiveness.

The Crucible Weekends are not for the faint of heart. They're not your ordinary spiritual retreat. They are designed to challenge and push you beyond your comfort zone. But they are also incredibly rewarding. You will leave from a weekend with a new sense of purpose, direction, and hope.

If you are a Christian man looking for a spiritual retreat to help you grow in your faith, then the Crucible Weekends are for you. We also offer weekends for women. So whether you are a young man just starting in your faith or a seasoned veteran, join us for the perfect retreat.

Are you ready to take that journey?

The Crucible Weekend will challenge you to take a self-discovering journey. You will let go of your excuses, move beyond blaming others, and look at how you contribute to those parts of your life that are not working. This is an intense experience that will challenge you emotionally, spiritually, and physically. If your motivation comes from those who invited you, it will quickly fade once the weekend begins. The resolve to step into each challenge the weekend presents can only come from you deciding you want this for yourself and are ready to do whatever it takes to confront those parts of yourself that are holding you back from the life you want for yourself.

Are you ready to travel where there is no path?

Are you willing to step into the unknown? First, into various exercises and activities that are new to you, and beyond that, into the unknown places within yourself, areas you've denied existed from yourself and those around you. Are you ready to travel where there is no path, to encounter God, and to see what He has for you there?

If you’re ready to go deep, discover life-changing truths about yourself, and experience radical grace, sign up below.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Who goes to these weekends?

The participants who come on our weekends want to experience truth and grace in a community of other people of faith living in an authentic faith-living community. They have the courage to take off their masks and honestly explore what is and what is not working in their lives and to cut through the false pretenses that keep them from leaving a legacy to impact in our world, like Jesus did (1 Corinthians 16: 13-14).

Is the weekend only for Christians or can anyone attend?

The Crucible Weekend is designed for participants who are actively living out their Christian faith as well as anyone who may be wrestling with faith or doubting God. Participants of no faith, and other faiths, who are tolerant to biblical references have reported that they received great benefit from participating in the weekend.

What time does the retreat begin and end?

Participants should arrive at the retreat site on Friday between 6:45 and 7:00 PM, local time, at the retreat facility. Retreats end at or before 3:00 PM on Sunday, in the retreat site's time zone.

What does the price for the retreat include?

Registration includes housing, meals (Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner; Sunday breakfast and lunch), and on-site materials. Participants are assigned an individual bed in a shared room with other participants. Room sizes vary site to site. You will be guided in an impactful experiential retreat with opportunities for individualized, grace-filled experiences. You will also receive three free group sessions after the retreat.

What is not included in the price of the retreat?

The price for the retreat does not include travel to and from the retreat, though we encourage you to carpool with other participants and assist with carpool coordination. Travel-related meals are not included. Please note that dinner on Friday is not included, participants should eat prior to their arrival.

Can I leave if I decide it’s not for me?

All participation is voluntary. You are free to decide for yourself what is best, whether to pass on any process or exercise, or leave if you desire. Since the weekend is designed to be challenging, you may experience times when you would rather be somewhere else — just like in life, your job, your relationships and other responsibilities. A key to any growth is not running away but pushing through the limits, fears or truths you may have been avoiding. The participants who persevere are glad they did.
