A pastor’s fitness experience.

July 21-23, 2025 - Austin, TX

 For 20 church staff men over 30 years of age.

Think of it like the anti-retreat men's retreat. 

Except we're not calling it a retreat.
And we're definitely not eating Little Debbie, smoking cigars, discussing politics,
and complaining about the staff we're too weak to lead or change.

 

(I mean, that little reality kick to the giblets probably got a few people to leave the page already.)

THAT'S ALL I NEED TO HEAR

There are eleventy billion options out there for pastors to:

  • Touch your neighbor.
  • Buy new boots no one cares about for a conference no one will remember you at.
  • Hear short cuts from a guy whose church is closing campuses and losing staff.
  • Be sold a solution to a mythical numerical barrier.
  • See someone else's highlight reel curated by interns.
  • Eat soggy mid-conference boxed lunches.
  • And be told "Uh, you gotta have a greenroom lanyard to go back there." 

You can go without one of those this year.

So let's do an anti-pastors-event event.

One that makes you sweat and cuss for the right reasons.
One that is solely dependent on you to achieve any wins.

No staff, money, city, demographic, or denominational excuses.

Just your own battle in your own head.

  • 3 days, 2 nights in Austin.
  • Plenty of sunshine and a sauna all day long.
    This is planned in Texas and in July on purpose.
  • You'll have plenty of hills to run, trails to chase, and rocks to climb. 
  • Come early or stay late and enjoy some of the famous BBQ spots, comedy clubs, or music venues. 
  • A multimillion dollar Texas mansion with all the space for you to workout and amenities for you to rest well.
  • 6 programmed events and workouts.
  • Pool, hot tub, sports, ice baths, and even plenty of nap time to recover.
  • Plenty of meat, healthy fruits and vegetables, and we'll probably have a chef swing through to make it taste like it's supposed to. 
  • Like-minded men on church staffs focused (or want to be) on their physical fitness.
  • No programmed churchy stuff. You can do devotionals and ask strategy questions if you want but it's not programmed.
  • Programmed workouts and planned meals so you just show up and get fit!
  • Plenty of free time, hang time, alone time, and quiet time. 
LET'S GO!
