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 experience designed for men who long to find the life that Jesus offers. Step away from the chaos, eliminate the distractions and noise of life, come experience rest for your mind, body, and soul as we guide you on a adventure of discovering that a life lived in rhythm with Jesus is a life lived freely and lightly.
Refresh is an invitation to create space to be still, connect with God and listen to His voice and live in rhythm with Him.

“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

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.

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.
