Leave It
Preconceived ideas, religiosity, and technology. A phone call or tex message can derail the entire weekend. Ask us how we know! Time to unplug! No weapons, firearms, pets, drugs, alcohol …
Deep Desires
What if the deep desires in our hearts are telling us the truth, revealing the lives we were meant to live? God gave us eyes so that we might see; he gave us ears that we might hear; he gave us wills that we might choose; and he gave us hearts that we might live. The way we handle the Heart is everything. A man must know he is powerful; he must know he has what it takes.
A Quest
This is not a retreat about the “seven things a man ought to do to be a nicer guy.” It is a four-day quest into a man’s masculine soul and the release of a man’s heart—his passions and his true nature—all given him by God. It’s an invitation to rush the fields at Bannockburn, to go West, to leap from the falls and save the beauty. For if a man is going to know who he truly is as a man, if he is going to find a life worth living, love a woman deeply, and not pass on his confusion to his children, he simply must get his heart back.
For Me ?
WildHeartSTL has brought together men from late teens into their seventies. You are never too old to experience God’s work in your life. And this message sets a strong foundation for young men as they enter marriage, family, and grow in their faith
