WildfiresWe create space for local, in-person groups where men gather outdoors around a fire to engage in honest conversations, strengthen one another, and walk together into the deeper life with God.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life."

Wild at Heart Retreat
Thursday, April 30 - Sunday, May 3, 2026
Blowing Rock, NC
A Wild At Heart retreat is an honest, no-BS trek into the deep passions and desires of a man's heart, the healing of the wounds he's taken in this battle, the realm of fatherhood and sex and God and calling—life as it was meant to be lived.
Through the sessions, times of quiet reflection, movies, adventures and downtime, you will discover something profound about the heart of God and the heart he gave you as a man. Those who come say it is one of the greatest weekends of their entire life.
Now It’s your turn.
Registration Opens Early 2026
What we do
Our ministry offers four primary experiences designed to rescue the hearts of men and lead them to Jesus.
Immersive ExperiencesWe host events that train and retrain men in the art of following Jesus, reclaim what’s been lost, and learn new skills to retain and protect all that God has entrusted to their care.
Our Mission
We exist to Rescue the Hearts of Men and lead them to Jesus.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it (John 1:4-5)
Many men are living tired, isolated, and unsure of who they really are. But you were made for more—for strength, for joy, for a life that’s wholehearted and free. At Light of Men, we help men recover what’s been lost, restore their God-given identity, and walk with God as sons. Through adventure, brotherhood, and deep, honest spaces, we invite men into the healing and freedom only Jesus can bring.
Your Invitation
Every man feels it—there’s more to life than work, screens, and going through the motions. Beneath the surface is a deeper longing: to live with purpose, to lead with strength, to love with a whole heart. If you’ve felt isolated, spiritually dry, or unsure of your place in the world, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.
Our Christian men’s events in Florida and North Carolina are more than retreats—they’re sacred spaces where men meet Jesus, reclaim identity, and walk in new strength. Whether around a campfire in a lakeside paradise, standing on a coastal overlook, or hiking picturesque mountain trails, you’ll find brotherhood, healing, and a bold invitation to more.
These are faith-based adventures for you to break from the noise, shed the false self, recover your heart, and become the man, husband, father, and leader God created you to be.
It’s time to get your heart back.
You weren't meant to do this alone.
There’s a path forward—and you don’t have to walk it by yourself. Whether you’re feeling stuck, hungry for more, or ready to reclaim your heart, your next step starts here.
It’s time to step out of the noise and into the life God has for you.
