EarthTraces: Purpose At Heart

Purpose At Heart - Men's Retreat

Wild, fiercely alive! There is a fiery passion
built into the heart of every man. That is how he bears the image of God.

Men have a God-given heart for adventure. From experiencing what God has placed for us here on Earth, the adventure of loving a woman, to the ultimate adventure of trusting God, finding and following His purpose and path for him.

Purpose At Heart is a 6-week study you conduct on-site that culminates with an incredible 2-day, 1-night retreat in nature. The program carefully weaves messages and adventures in Nature to enrich one's understanding of their purpose and place in God's plan and recharge their spiritual desire to grow in understanding and service. Using select concepts from Pastor Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven Life" and John Eldredge's "Wild At Heart", Purpose At Heart remains scripturally-sound while culturally-relevant.

Through a combination of rappelling, rockclimbing, caving, orienteering or rafting as well as teaching sessions, movie clips, panel discussions, small group activities, guided reflection and journaling, question and answer - Purpose At Heart is far more than a retreat—it’s an expedition of the heart. You may never be quite the same again.
