Outdoor Retreats for Reflection
Why Outdoor Retreats? Sometimes the noise of life makes it hard to hear God’s voice. Stepping away into nature gives us the space to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with Him. Our outdoor retreats are designed for men to reflect, pray, and experience fellowship in an environment where distractions fade and God’s presence feels close. 📖 “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” – Psalm 23:2–3 What You’ll Experience -Quiet reflection time to rest your soul and hear God’s voice -Group devotionals & worship centered on Scripture -Fellowship around the fire with honest conversation and prayer -Outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, or team challenges) to build connection -Guided reflection exercises to help you process what God is stirring in your heart Upcoming Retreats Spring Men’s Retreat Theme: TBD Partnering Ministry: 1RG Ministries (https://www.1rgministries.com/) When: March 13–15, 2026 Where: Orange, Tx Cost: TBD Forged With Purpose is excited to announce that we are partnering with 1RG Ministries to host a powerful weekend men’s retreat March 13–15, 2026.
