Refresh
A One Year journey for Men
Rest. Connect. Be refreshed.
The truth is we all get tired.
We all need a break from the pushing, striving and stress of life. Most of us live life on our own terms and at an unsustainable pace; one that is wrecking our connection to God and others.
Refresh is a one-year, four event journey designed for men who long to find the life that Jesus offers. Step away from the chaos and noise of life, and experience rest for your mind, body, and soul. Let us be your guide on a adventure that will help you discover how to connect deeply with God as we create space to be still and listen to His voice.
Group 9 forming soon!
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Experience One

Learn to slow down, be still, and listen to God. You’ll be staying at Haven where we’ll guide you through four sessions as we teach you to listen for the voice of God and develop spiritual rhythm.
Experience Two
February 2026
Hanover, Michigan
Discover that Jesus isn’t the only one who has a plan for your life; the enemy wants to steal your life and destroy you. We’ll teach you how to fight back against the lies of the enemy and reclaim the life you were designed to live.
Experience Three
May 2026

Uncover the deeper motivations of your heart. We’ll help you identify the source idols in your life and how they wreck our relationship with God. Then, we’ll teach you how to crush them through surrender and walk in freedom.
Experience Four
August 2026
Hanover, Michigan
Look to the future. We were designed to play an important role in the Kingdom of God; to partner with Jesus in drawing the world to Him. What’s your role to play? Find out as you learn to dream with Him again.
In Between
Between each experience we will gather virtually to connect, pray, and encourage you. You’ll have the opportunity to hear from other voices like Tim Bohlke, Steve Carter, and more on the specific themes and topics of your experiences.
We get to do all of this at Haven, our exclusive property developed and prepared just for you. With plenty of space to rest, relax, and adventure, incredible food that you don’t have to prepare but rather is prepared for you, and time outdoors in the beauty of Pure Michigan.

Our program fees are transparent with no hidden costs. You may find yourself picking up a book or two along the way. But nothing that will break the bank.
Financial assistance is available upon request
-
We have a process in place to evaluate each need and help when we can. So if money is tight, please let us know and we can discuss financial assistance.
If you have questions about financial assistance please get in touch! -
If you recognize a disconnect between the life you are living and the life that Jesus talked about, then you may be desperate. We describe “desperate” as a deep desire for something more in our relationship with God; however, desire and action are two different things. So, if you will do whatever it takes to act on that desire and pursue the life God has for you then, yes, you are desperate for Jesus!
-
It is critical that you fully participate and engage in this entire experience and we ask for your commitment to do so up front. We completely understand the difficulty of scheduling… it can be tough. However, if you cannot make all four experiences, we ask that you select a future group that may fit your schedule at a later time.
